Well, I am almost 6 weeks from delivery and decided "close enough" and headed out to pound the pavement today. I have less than 2 months to fit back into some clothes for work and exactly 3 months till the half marathon. I will admit it now, I think I was a WEE bit ambitious on all that. But I will give it a shot.
A few of my observations from today. First....the good stuff/
1) I still like to run. I enjoyed it. And it felt good....until I felt like I would die!
2) Eminem's 'Til I Collapse' can still make me not want to give up. Maybe I should just make that my entire playlist!!
3) I will say it again. I didn't die!!
Now onto the bad:
1) I really almost died. LOL. I kid. I could run for about 1.5 miles and then had to walk. And walk some more. It was a bit of a reality check but it is sill more than I could do when I first started running less than 2 years ago.
2) I need new ear buds. They kept coming out. It was SUPER distracting.
3) My playlist is SEVERELY outdated. Anyone have any good suggestions??
4) I am SORE!!
I gained almost 50lbs with Luke. But I did love every minute of it. He was truly a joy to carry. I lost almost 30 of it so far but now the hard work comes in. It is depressing to get on the scale and try and fit into clothes, but I know these things take time. And I also know moving helps a lot. As does stop stopping by Sonic for ice cream once a week and McDonalds for breakfast once a week. Oh to be a celebrity and have a personal trainer and cook!!
So here we go again, time to get busy. I will do my best to get some of this weight off soon!! Hoping I can keep up the momentum and make some progress!
And here are just a few pics of my sweet boys!!
OMG your boys are so big!!!!!!!!!!! And of course extremely handsome. :) Love to hear from you. Good for you for being active so quickly, I'm jealous and impressed. xoxo
