My friend and I went running again today after class.
We both a running schedule and It's Tuesdays and Thursdays.
NO EXCUSES. Doesn't matter if we have an exam the next day.
We ran 3.60 miles. in addition, we climbed and ran up two steep hills.
man it was a work out.
It's nice to have a running buddy because we can push each other.
Motivate each other. When one is still running, you don't want to stop,
not matter how much your heart is pounding and your legs burn.
It was a great workout. The scenery is just absolutely gorgeous.
I love it there.
Most definitely a stress reliever.
Crossing the bridge to walk up hills! lol
made it up 2 hills.
Jess treated us with Jamba Juice. mmm
After my clinical orientation on Tuesday
which ended around 3:15, my friend Jessica and I went running.
It was a spontaneous thing but I was up for it!
So we headed over to Lake Chabot,
and ran about 3 miles. we walked the first mile to warm up,
then ran the rest.
It was a challenge because there was all these steep hills and down hills.
It wasn't just one leveled pavement.
I loved it..
She was pushing me to not give up,
even though my legs were burning!
But i knew it was all worth it in the end.
MIND OVER MATTER.
Now i'm sore, but I love this feeling.
I feel accomplished.
The scenery was beautiful.
in the summer of 2010 is when I started my whole fitness journey.
I lost about 13lbs from doing 2 months of insanity,
and maintained my weight to about 118-120.
I was more cautious about what I ate that year
in 2011 I maintained my weight
to about 125-130, in the summer.
it fluctuated after the summer time because I wasn't
exercising as much as I wanted too.
Towards December, I started pigging out,
I ended my stressful semester and went on winter break.
Which meant I came back home for the break.
There were so many things to eat, 2 holidays so many food.
I just didn't give a damn.. and BAM.. I have to pay for it now.
I'm back where I began..
I notice that when I gain weight my feet begin to hurt
because I can feel the heaviness of my body.
Lately i noticed my feet hurting.. and checked on the scale and it was not a pretty sight.
I was like about 132. ugh..
I came so far.. yet I gained it all back because of my poor decisions
and lack of exercise.
Food is very tempting..
so is napping and sleeping instead of getting up and getting active.
This year, 2012 and so forth, I will try my best to increase my exercise activity
as much as I possibly can, that means, trying to get an exercise in before of after class.
I will try to NOT make any excuses..
and I will eat clean and healthy.
That will be my goal.
Starting weight: 132
GOAL WEIGHT (GW) IN FEB 2012: 125
GW APRIL 2012: 120
GW JULY 2012: 115
Let's make this happen. 5lbs every 2 months.
I need to be motivated!!
This needs to be a lifestyle change,
and a lifelong change.
