So two and a half weeks in and how is it going? Actually really well. I didn't get my weekly shopping trip in with my co-worker but I did it over the weekend so it worked out okay. Friday's walk got cancelled as well, but only because we both got our workouts in other ways.
1) My water intake has substantially increased. I'm easily getting in my 60+ oz a day now.
2) I've been getting to the gym at least 4X a week usually with Jules and he's loving it.
3) The first two Monday's went well and I'm looking forward to Monday's trip.
The running is picking up and the physical therapist finally sourced the problem thankfully and is doing all she can to get my distance back up. I might just hit 4 miles this weekend. I'm easily burning 700 calories a day and the first 3lbs came off quickly and I've slowed a bit but I'm getting the balance with the food down so I'm hoping my metabolism will kick in soon.
I'm adding a new goal...strength training 2X a week. I need to build muscle to help my metabolism and I've just been plain avoiding it. So time to hold myself accountable and voice the goal. It should be achievable and this past week I did.
So the gym is my friend, running is my drug and I need to remind myself how high it makes me and get my ass out of bed first thing in the morning to get it in. It saves my sanity.
