As it Turns Out…

A body shock should probably only last about one week, if that. This week, although full of “My tummy hurts,” and “I don’t feel good” has been nonetheless a wasted week and has brought me nowhere closer to my goal than if I were to sit on the couch scarfing down a gallon drum of cookie dough ice cream.

But, I have officially realized why men lose weight quicker than women. (At least one reason why.) They don’t have to think about feeling like blah for a week and watching their weight go to one extreme to the other. This past week, I have seen 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, and 171 on the scale. One night, I weighed myself before going to bed and Simon said “171.” The very next morning, I weighed again…”166.” What!? I guess that’s what I get for being a lady though. Hrmph!

The first paragraph actually describes something that I’m not used to and don’t expect to ever get used to. That was a wacky week and I’m sure my dear husband tired quickly of me saying “my tummy hurts,” and “I need some Sprite.”

Another out of the ordinary thing happened in the last few days as well. I laced up my tennies, headed out to the workout room to run and began the 2^nd day of the 2^nd week of Couch to 5k. I finished 30 minutes later and almost immediately had to sit down because it felt like someone was stabbing me under my left rib. I stood up again and less than one minute later, the same pain came back to me. I made it to the house in time to lie down before the pain got too bad and for the rest of the night, I stayed there. I’m not sure why my body has been acting so dumb lately. Maybe the change in food and exercise has something to do with it?

Regardless, I am determined to start the 2^nd month of P90X tomorrow. I feel much better about myself when I am working out (even if I’m not losing weight, per se)and I‘m ready to get back to P90X whilst trying to dedicate myself to the Couch to 5k schedule as well. I might even throw in some Hip Hop Abs too…(with Shaun T…my Insanity instructor.)

So, from now on, there will be more posts. :D
