It is Sunday, Feb 21st and on this snowy day all I can say is OH YES I CAN!!!! I have to admit I was a bit disappointed on my Friday weigh in when I only saw a .25lb change. I could not understand it...I felt thinner and I was sure to see a couple of pounds gone. It did not deter me in the least. I kept on my track as a matter of fact I was determined to really have a good week next week and see some major movement.
I went to the gym today and ran on the treadmill. Happily I did my first mile at a 11:30 pace and then increased my second mile to a 10:30. The last and final mile on this 3 mile run I increased my pace to a 10:20 and at the half mile mark to a 10:00. The final quarter mile I went to a 9:50 pace and the last 1/10 brought it in at a 9:40...Woo Hoo!! Feeling so on top of the world I decided to step on the scale. I am down 3lbs since Friday...No I did not lose all that weight over the weekend. Chance are I was holding water on Friday when I weighed myself. Sodium intake will do that to you! So I am happy to tell you that I am down 12lbs since the beginning of the year....I rewarded myself with a soak in the hot tub to ease my aching muscles.
OH YES I CAN...I can run, I can lose weight and I can be the most motivated person in the world.
