Day 3 - Ok

Today was much better than yesterday! Once again, I did great with my eating. I wasn't even hungry to eat my pickle snack pack (this is good). I figure during the work week will be easy, I'm too busy to really think about eating. It's the weekend that will be the real test (lets hope I pass!).

I kicked butt on my workout tonight! I stretched before I did my 2 miles (wow, stretching before a workout really helps! Imagine that...) and the run didn't bother me like it did yesterday. Although, since my muscles weren't bothering me, I noticed something else that was. My back fat jiggles... a lot! It was really gross and it kind of hurt. So I do this thing while I run, (so as to take my mind off of running) I try to focus on something and zone into that. Like I will listen to my footsteps on the ground and get into a rhythm and run to it or the sound of my breathing. Tonight I ran to the rhythm of my back fat. "Step *jiggle* Step *jiggle* Step *jiggle*... it worked, I ran. After my run I came home and did some more stretching and then did crunches. I decided that I need to buy one of those stands that you lean on and lift your legs up and bring them to your chest. They have those at the gym and they are great for your abs without killing your back. The floor sit ups hurt my back way more than my abs. I will have to google it and check out prices.

I am going to a hockey game tomorrow after work so I am going to miss a day of exercise! Part of me is really happy about this, but the other part knows I am just going to have to pull double duty on Saturday (morning and night workout) and I am not too thrilled about that. The Ducks better win tomorrow night and make it all worth it!

Note: I am going to combine Day 4 and Day 5 into one entry, since I won't be home until late tomorrow night.

  1. You crack me up with the jiggles. I have the same problem. I found that the spanx-type cami I have is great for exercising. It keeps my rolls together AND makes me feel a little more svelt. :) It's like a sports bra, but for my whole body lol.
