Man, I miss the summer. This first week is so hard. The emotional stress is the hardest. But we will get there. I keep telling myself, "one step at a time."
Monday = Ran intervals at Wendy Kroger Park and stretching at the park. I did one loop fast paced followed by a recovery lap four times. I did a short warm up and short cool down. Best Labor Day EVER at the fair. So sad to see the summer go.
Tuesday = Ran 3 miles with a pace of around 9:30. Annual first day of school run.
Wednesday = Swam 1500 yards with friends.
Thursday = Weights for about 25 minutes and 5K pacing run on the treadmill. I still dislike the treadmill but it was not so bad.
Friday = Ran with a friend and her baby and dog (she's amazing!) I went 4 miles and pace was slightly slower (considerably so). It was a fun run.
Saturday = I wanted to do a ride with SBC but ended up deciding not to go. The weather was not great and I probably would have been in rain part of the time. I woke up feeling overwhelmed again and slightly anxious. The kids felt that way too so it was probably a good thing I stayed home. I ended up going to the gym in the early evening and riding the stationary bike for 35 minutes and then doing about 25 minutes of weights. It was a great workout. I have been consistently working out and cutting back on sugar and fatty foods. I am a little surprised my weight stays stagnant. I lost maybe a pound the past month. Today I was back up again. I am also really hormonal and I think my weight goes up when that happens. I am going to continue to track it but I don't expect major results. I have been this weight for the past 10 years--I don't see that changing much. Except going up if I eat a lot of junk.
Sunday = Rest!
