So my run this morning was hard. First I did not want to get out of bed, so I had to force myself to get up and get dressed. Then I contemplated just riding the bike in the workout room instead of running…I knew I would not be happy with myself if I did that. SO I got my butt outside and started my run.
It was HARD for me. I felt like my feet weighed 100 lbs. and my heart just wasn’t in it. I had to force every single step and had to take THREE walk breaks during my 2nd mile making it a whopping 14:00 minutes! Right now I am kicking myself for being such a baby about it this morning. I had felt pretty sick last night so I don’t know if that was what made me feel so lethargic or what. My first mile was 11:00 minutes which is 30 seconds faster than yesterday, but 30 seconds slower than Wednesday…I suppose I need to stop worrying about my time and just focus on enjoying my run. All week I have felt great and positive about everything, especially once I started running outside again. I figured I was due for a tough day after so many awesome ones lol.On a positive note, still NO KNEE PAIN :)!! So awesome and amazing! I’m feeling truly blessed :)
In the end I am very happy that I did in fact get my butt out the door and ran. I know that I would be one moody women at work right now if I hadn’t. I’m enjoying a strawberries & cream lean shake right now and am excited to attack the rest of my day.
Almost forgot that we weighed again today…see I told you I was obsessed!
Me: 137.4
Hubby: 138.4
I’ve lost 2.2 lbs since Monday and hubby has gained 1.2 lbs.
Have a feeling it is going to be a close race! Here we go :)

the 10 lb. race Day 2
So I ran again this morning :) I have missed running everyday and the only person standing in my way was ME. Well not anymore! I love how I feel and I haven’t had any knee pain! It really is amazing and pray that the pain stays away. My toes are getting rubbed raw though so I either need to run barefoot or get new shoes asap. I’ve never ran barefoot before so I’m a little nervous about that idea. Anything is better than continuing to run in my current shoes though. Don’t know how much more my toes can take lol.
So my hubby decided we should weigh ourselves every 3 days instead of once a week. Since I’m a compulsive weigher :) I was happy about that decision. I did how ever weigh myself this morning just because I couldn’t help myself.
Day 1: 139.6
Day 2: 138.2
Runs
Day 1: 2.5 miles 30 minutes
Day 2: 1.10 miles 10:30 min.

the 10 lb. race
So the hubby has watched me get incredibly lax with my diet and exercise this holiday season. I kept telling him and myself that I had to under control and was just having a little fun. Which yes, I was having fun but I had gained 4 lbs and was starting to feel pretty down.
Well my amazing hubby challenged me to a 10 lb race. He wants to gain 10 lbs of muscle and I want to lose 20 lbs, but we’ll start with 10 :). We have one weigh in a week(which was today) and there is a prize for the one who wins. Whoever loses(my hubby ;))has to buy the other(that WILL be me :)) the new iPhone 4S! Now he has the 4 with a big crack in the screen so he really wants it and I still have the 3GS SO I really want.
Basically AWESOME MOTIVATION for the both of us! We’re both VERY competitive so this should be fun :).
This morning I got up at 6:20 am and went to run on the treadmill and it was HARD. I am having a really hard time enjoying the treadmill. It took me 30 minutes to get 2.5 miles in...I had three 3 minute walk breaks too...So I am struggling but I refuse to give up. I miss running outside SO bad, but it is SO COLD out. I should just suck it up and run outside...First I need to get some running pants because I may lose my legs to frostbite if I run in my capris ;). Also NO KNEE pain woohoo!! Only thing is that my shoes HURT my toes :( They feel as if I have rug burn all over them...OUCH. Hopefully Santa will bring me some new running shoes :) I promise I've been good ;)!
