Today (well technically yesterday now) I was a machine. Tuesdays are 1$ Lane swimming at my local Rec Centre so me and my good friend Jess went. I wanted to really push myself, so I walked there too! The walk/jog was 3 km then the swim was 30 laps, or just over 1 km. I am beat, I really feel it in my ass and legs, I cant wait to feel it tomorrow. I love feeling sore and knowing that my body is getting fitter.
I really pushed myself with the "jogging" Im not 100% sure I am doing it right, but I am moving faster than walking and really getting my heart rate up. I try and push myself a little further than I think I can go, just to see where my comfort zones are. I managed to walk/jog the 3 Km in 26 mins. I probably did 4-5 good bouts of jogging. I am trying to get my endurance up for the Running clinic I start in 1 week (eek!)
One month ago I was a slob, I didnt walk or do anything, now I am running further than I have ever ran before, swimming more and eating better. I just dont give myself a choice. This is a lifestyle. This is no quick fix. I am doing this for myself. It will only get easier. I push myself now, knowing how hard it is because I have so much weight, it will be easier when I am lighter, and the only way I will get there is if I push myself now. I think that is where I fail in the years past when I have lost weight. I never had a concrete workout plan. Just bouts of it. I now make it a priority. I want to remember that for those days I might not feel like doing anything. Just go, take the first step, you will be thankful you did!
Great job!
