First of all, I want you all to know that my body HAS seen intentional physical activity since last time I wrote on here. Not as much as we might hope, but still, more than this blog may suggest. It is my intention to update here more often aka exercise more often and write about it.
I read an article yesterday about running in the cold, and seeing as yesterday was one of the most cold, rainy, and overall miserable days (weather-wise) we've had in Utah so far, I thought I'd go for a run. Naturally. It makes me feel more hard-core to run in the elements. I even did a goofy victory dance afterwards.
My lungs burned. I did half of the first week work-out for C25K before deciding to ditch the program and just throw in the running bits at my own pace. Maybe when I start to like running again like I did before I will be more apt to follow the little beeps telling me when to push hard and when to take it easy. But right now I am going to do whatever the heck I want to do just to get back in the habit.
Unfortunately, my diet is not yet the diet of a disciplined athlete. I may or may not have eaten this at 10:00 last night:
BUT I do trust that as I start running more my ability to resist the temptations of fried high fructose deliciousness that are often consumed by my room mates who were blessed with younger metabolisms that I. It's okay - we're just starting small. Baby steps.
