I woke up feeling rather good today. Energetic enough to get right into my strength training. Later today I will be walk/jogging with a friend as well. Nothing like peer pressure to get me going.
Yesterday I did really well, sticking to my eating plan and not binge. That is a real issue with me, eating disorder not otherwise specified and all, binge eating. I didn't get hungry at all, though I did wake up in the middle of the night starving. I downed a glass of water and went back to sleep.
I have been doing this couch to 5K program. By 'doing', I mean that every week I start it, and most weeks I get the second day done as well. Thus far, no week has seen me out jogging on that third day. I end up aching all over and wimping out. Every week, though, I start again. I think I have started Week One four times. I don't care, I am doing.
It's starting to show, too. Each new Week One is bit easier. I am a big lady here, but I find myself almost able to jog the entire 60 seconds. I wanna be a runner, so I am going to be keeping this up, even if it takes me a year to complete the nine week program!
I did not realize exactly how effective it has been until I nearly cut myself shaving my legs. Where did that definition come from? That wasn't there before! I have these little hollows running down my calves now, and they look very sporty!
Suspicious, I gave my jiggly arms a wee poke and...well I'll be! There is a baby muscle in there! No wonder the wall-pushups were getting easier, and I hadn't even thought about it when I bought heavier weights. I just thought that my usual ones were...what? Getting lighter? Gah! Next thing you know, I will be sleek and hard core and confused as to how I got there. That's a great problem to have!
The beginners workout I got from about.com seemed so hard three weeks ago, and this morning I still sweat buckets, but I pushuped and squatted and lunged and lifted with the comfort of familiarity.
There was a moment where I got dizzy and had to sit down, but I suspect that has something to do with me being too eager to workout and skipping both breakfast and some water prior to huffing it on the elliptical. A few moments to drink my shake, have a glass of water, and sit, then I was right as rain.
What do you think? Am I gonna be an athlete before I know it?
