TGIF
Once I really got up and moving yesterday, I realized how sore I was from my adventure outdoors (mostly in the glutes and inner thighs), so I decided to "take it easy" last night and walk on the treadmill. I think what I'm going to do is walk outside Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and then stick with the treadmill Tuesdays and Thursdays. Partly to change things up and give my body a little shock, but also because that way I figure I can kind of "rest" on the days when I'm not outside, since it's totally flat and my pace never varies and I've done it a million times, that sort of thing. And I hope Wednesday wasn't a fluke, and that I can do it in the same time (or less) when I go on my run tonight! I'm really sore again today, but I still think I can do it.
Since Monday, things have been great on the eating front. I was feeling snacky last night, but I decided it wouldn't be worth it. So I ended the day at 1,224 calories yesterday, we already know I got my workout in, and I drank my 2 gallons of water. I just have to get through today, find out the damage tomorrow, and I have my weekend again!
P.S. Did any of you watch that episode of True Life, "I Can't Stay Thin," with that guy Adam from YouTube? Remember the part where he talked about how all he needed to do was go to bed so he could wake up and weigh himself, and that was his favorite part of the day? I can totally relate to that feeling. I know. It's sad.

i think switching up your workout is key. running, intervals on the treadmill, etc, that stuff helps a lot. your body gets used to the same workout and doesn't work as hard after a while. muscle memory and all that stuff. running is such great exercise though, it really works your whole body. i think its also a great way to burn fat.
yea, that true life is really sad. i feel so bad for the guy, he really lets the scale rule his life. when it gets to that point, it's more of an obsession than a healthy way of living.
have a nice weekend!
I DID WATCH THAT True life!
man I was rivet by him and, as you said, saddened and (for me) haunted.
it surprised me how many people he had who cared about him and yet he closed himself off...and the MOM? Not too impressed by *that* lack of support...
(KUDOS FOR THE SWITCHING UP YOUR WORKOUT PLAN. Im right there with you.)
Yeah, changing things up seems to be really important for the long haul--easy days and hard days are both important in their own ways!
