Let’s see…
can I get the eating figured out? Not yet. I’m trying, but I don’t have my whole heart into it. Probably because in the past when I’ve jumped in enthusiastically, I’ve given up and given in.
Now, I’m just trying to find a balance. What am I capable of REALLY doing that will also include eating better.
I keep saying slow and steady wins the race…but sometimes I wonder at 50 how slow can I really go to still get ahead? That’s the hard part. That’s the scary part.
On the plus side – I walked 3.5 miles yesterday is preparation/training for the 10K in April. Next week, of course, two of my partners want to go all the way for the 6 mile loop. Of course, the one pushing it is 11 years younger than me and 40 pounds lighter. She’s also much more active than me. I sit on my butt all day at work. Barely get any exercise in. No – I think pushing for the six mile will defeat me this early on. Doing 3.5 miles is excellent. I can’t forget that, nor can I see it as a failure. So…no. I’m going to do my 3.5 and meet up with them at the end of the trail.
Now…it sounds great that I did so well right? I ate like a pig yesterday and just sat around afterwards. ARGH! where’s the balance???
Today…is technically day one of my training for the 10K. According to my schedule I need to do this: Mon – rest; Tues – 25 min walk; Wed – 25 min bike; Thur – 25 min walk; fri – rest; sat – 25 min bike; sun – 2 mile walk.
This is my goal. Get active. I’m sure the eating will fall into place. But this time around (cuz you all know we’ve done THIS before!) I’m starting with activity.
Wish me luck!
I would force myself to get off my butt, unplug from my laptop, which you know i rarely do. Granted I do not own a car…. but, you are a dynamic woman.. just argue with yourself and loose the “I’m gonna stay inside” argument
