So a small personal victory this morning. Since I didn't run Monday, I ran Tuesday morning (the plan is Mon, Wed & Fri and active on Saturday). I woke up this morning and my back was tweaked a bit. I had decided to wait until this evening and hope my back worked itself out. On my walk home from dropping off the kiddos at school, I did some stretches and the back felt better. "Good," I thought, "I'll run when I get home." I walk into my house with the phone ringing...already someone from work needing something. *SIGH* OK...So I sat down and dealt with that. Hold on...I'm getting to the point...stay with me. Then I checked my calendar, saw I had a break this morning so I got up and did my run. Do you realize how many opportunities that was this morning to NOT do my run (because we all know I wouldn't do it after work)? So I felt good that I did my run at all.
I did exactly 2 miles in 30 minutes. 15 minute pace with a low incline. Not too shabby for not feeling it at all. :)
Tomorrow's a rest day, thank goodness. Eventually I'll use those "off days" to do some cross training but not this week. I don't want to overwhelm myself and end up giving up on it all together. Food is also going fairly well so far this week. Limited snacking and when I do, it's on healthy stuff. I'd be surprised to see a loss tomorrow as I pigged out Sunday.
Hump Day Happy Thought:

Forgot to weigh in, huh? Apparently you are not a scale whore like muwah? I get up in the middle of the night and while I'm up - I weigh. It's slightly insane. Great victory on running!
YEAH! You go girl! That's a great run!!!
Great job getting that run in! :)
Woo Hoo Good for you!! Way to stay motivated!
Proud of you for making the time to run!
That is exactly the kind of mind-set that will keep you exercising against all odds!
On off days, consider an easy walk--nothing long, just 20 minutes or so. Lots of fitness experts recommend something like that for "active recovery" even if you are not cross-training. Also, it can give you a sense of continual momentum even though you aren't running every day.
you seem to be doing well and working at home seems to be "working" out for you---love you and hugs from AZ
Yay on the run! Such a needy mistress running is, no?
