To Weigh or not to weigh....

I absolutely hate weight myself. I feel like it's a trap and plays with your mental health! I usually just keep working out until I'm back in my old clothes. After that I usually change my workout pattern from 6 days to 3 days a week. However, I spoke with an old classmate from high school (Sakina McCoy) that is a personal trainer now and she insisted that I weigh myself!!! I gave in this morning and weighed myself.

Yaaaaaay!!! Your girl is back down under 150 pounds! Whew! I promise I thought that would NEVER happen again! I am now 146 pounds. When I started this journey in March, I was 188lbs. I will continue working out and weighing myself occasionally! Don't want to go crazy when I don't loose pounds one week! lol....

Never doubt yourself!

Motivate One Another....

Weekend Struggle!

This past weekend, I was able to get 2 runs in! Saturday was an early run. I believe we were out there at about 6am and the air was still cool. Kinda felt like a fall morning. Which was perfect! Seeing that Brandy and I had things to do on Saturday, we got out there early and did a quick run of 4.6 miles! Good run and then I was able to go home and take a quick nap! Lovely!

Sunday was a different story. We got out to the trail around 7:30am Sunday morning. By this time, it was already hot and humid and I was tired. Very Tired! As we started running I started feeling myself heat up, like over heating. Our initial goal was to do 7.2 miles. However, as I felt myself over heating, I told Brandy that i knew I wouldn't make it around twice. So, once we finished the trail, I went over to the water spout and Brandy pumped the water out and I poured water all over my face and body to cool off. We traded places and she did the same! It was something about that heat....So we went back on the trail and preceded to run it again. I knew I wouldn't last another 3.6 miles, so I told Brandy, that we could run to the 1 mile marker and run back, which is 2 more miles. So all in all, we ran 5.6 miles on Sunday.

My message with this, is to never over due yourself. If you feel like something is not right and you can't run, DON'T!!! I enjoy running and I don't want to just start obsessively running, then that would take the fun away.


Determined to get better!!!
