I really do not like having to think up a title everyday for these entries. I lack in creativity in that department!
Sooo did not want to get up today. But I did it, cause I had ice cream last night. I went a distance of 2.55 and burnt 310 cals. My heart topped out at 150 bpm. That number seemed a little more normal then what it has been lately. I have been running each time also. Right now I am trying to go two minutes without stopping at every 10 minute mark. So far so good. I do have to hold on to the bars though. I know that that is not good but I have been blessed with my mothers great balance and I don't really want to fall off the treadmill.
I would love to work my way up to running for the full half hour of tread milling. We shall see how that will go.
I have been doing a lot of thinking about this next topic. That is that I really should take a before picture. The thought of taking one though, chills me to my very bones. Taking a picture would mean that if I don't lose this weight and set a goal to lose it in, it would be one more thing I couldn't finish. I have literally wanted to lose weight for about 15 years. That's just under half my life.
The other thing that I have to do is buy a scale. I have never owned one. I am terrified to own one. I think that if I did, I would be on it all the time! Before I pee, after I pee. Before I eat, after I eat. The thought of doing that makes me want to puke, literally.
I can see owning a scale turning into an eating disorder. Which I have also tried by the way readers. I was able to quit before it took a real hold of my life, but I did give it a good go. I know how those girls that are too skinny for their own good feel looking into the mirror and being so incredibly unhappy with what they see. That it isn't good enough. It's kinda funny though, cause they are on one end of the spectrum and me the other.
Well I guess I will have to break down and get one though. Maybe I will write the passage from 1 Corinthians on it about our bodies being temples and we should keep them clean. That would probably help a lot!
Until tomorrow!!
Funny how you would comment how you have no creativity in this blog. I enjoy reading it, surprise, surprise. Not only because it is you writing it - but because you have the same ability to be blunt and hilarious as grandma did. Never knew that you also shared this gift! Nice surprise indeed!
ReplyDeleteAnd - on another note - a scale is a tool. A tool that if used incorrectly can do a lot of damage but if used correctly can be just as beneficial as the blog : )
