Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Today's workout
Tough one today, took a couple of short breaks, but I ended up with 5 miles in roughly 50 minutes, so a solid 10 minute mile average. It's been a tough week, as I feel like I am hitting a wall with the sit ups and push ups, and the slow pace of Sunday's run and aborted run on Tuesday. But it's coming together, and all it took was a good run like today to get my mental focus and confidence back.
Also been a tough week for eating, been a lot of temptations and my appetite has been strong. Not anywhere close to last week as far as keeping my intake below my goal. I am still good, haven't succumbed too much to temptation. It's just been hard mentally to stay focused.
But I took the time yesterday to pull a little history from Lose It and realized that a year ago at this time I was still sitting over 200 pounds, and I was just starting the Couch to 5K plan. So every time I feel a little down about having to walk a little on a 5 mile run, or start beating myself up about not being able to break this plateau of 183 I just remind myself how far I have come. Do I still have goals and am I 100% satisfied with where I am? No, but I know that I have come a long way and that's really good too.
