so close…
So the scale doesn’t seem to be my friend lately… I can make a million excuses, hormones, sodium levels, eh….whatever. I just have to stick with the healthy habits & trust that it will pay off sooner or later.
If I am going to stress over a number this week its going to be number of steps taken. I am loving the new pedometer. Yesterday I almost made the 10,000 steps! Made it to 9394 before getting into bed. Day before it was 7771. I can do this & make 10,000 steps the low days. On ward & up ward. I have been on the treadmill daily & yesterday was stressful so I jogged it off. Well first I danced like a maniac to a couple of songs to shake it off. Seemed to work.
Still sticking with the ACSM program. I have done 3 days of cardio & 1 of the flexibilty, but so far none of the strength. Today I need to do that.
…that & actually get past the 10,000 steps.
I was watching Dexter last night & his sister made a statement that really hit home. She was talking about moving past something traumatic & said something to the effect of… you just have to figure out who you are & who you want to be & stick with it. Move past all the other stuff. Kinda like believe it & achieve it. So from here on out I am an athlete. No more I want to be, I wish I was, I AM.
….& man o man do I wish I wasn’t stuck at work right now. I actually really would rather be at home walking my arse off. Maybe even jogging.
You are an athlete. Sounds like you are doing lots of great exercise. I need to dig my pedometer back out and start using it, they are great to help motivate you to do better each day. Keep up your hard work and soon your scale will reflect your efforts.
