This morning I didn't work out but I did throw the boys in the car ( in their diapers) and bribed Gracie w/donuts to come along for the ride so I could go to 24 Hour Fitness and weigh in. I just needed a quasi-adult in the car to be aware so that I could go in for 5-10 minutes and do check my progress.
With the boys distracted by a movie and Gracie reclining in a seat with one eye open and one eye closed, I ran in to check and....
This was a great accomplishment for me as I only got to do cardio 3x this week. I didn't lift b/c first of all, I knew I had to meet with Cophie, the new trainer and secondly, I was tired of not seeing the scale move. I wanted to take a break from the resistance training so that my muscle weight wouldn't affect my weigh in this time.
I think that I'm gonna take a two week break from the weights to re-establish my cardio routine and also to get back into running.
Cophie suggested that I start back running b/c it is a great cardio workout for taking off the weight. I mentioned to her that I did a half-marathon a couple of years ago and she was like "so why aren't you running now"....(gulp)...cuz I don't want to anymore...I dunno :(
So..I ran a mile/walked a mile (on Tue) and sprinted at the end...thought I was gonna pass out...felt good about making the effort though.
I'll probably go for once or twice a week on the running...I love reading on the elliptical and the bike...don't wanna give up my personal reading time completely!
OK...I'm off to get ready for church in the AM and to plan my menus for next week. Having a menu already thought through makes good food choices a breeze!
