That wouldn't have been so bad if I'd been able to say "no" to the Texas Toast. //sigh// It wasn't even worth it. I just ate it because it was THERE, not because it was really worth eating.
Anyway, I've been taking these Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex and it's REALLY helping out my knees. I've had a bit of soreness, but no shooting pains. I'm excited. It means that Evan and I are gonna start workin' on more legs and whatnot. Which in turn, means I can hopefully get rid of these thunder thighs.
Also, I've got this new motivation. Ryan dropped some knowledge that he's doing the intensity work outs (maybe it's insanity? I don't know...but it's that apparently P90x on steroids junk). This is unacceptable! Okay, I mean, he can totally do whatever he wants. But apparently his little brother in Theta Chi dropped like, 30 lbs in 60 days and I'm lookin' at 10 ish in almost 3 months. WHAT THE MESS!
I wanted to be the one that returned to camp and everyone went "omg you look great!" RYAN WILL NOT TAKE THIS MOMENT FROM ME! Rawr.
I'm starting to actually run. Like, legit, get on the treadmill and start bookin' it. It's tough. I don't run. At all. Ever. I can power walk like a beast, but I don't have stamina. But lately I've had energy, so I'm trying to channel that constructively. Right now I'm breaking it down. "Today I'll run a full .4 miles. Tomorrow I'll run a full .5 miles. Two days from now I'll run a full .6miles." I know that might seem silly to some, since running comes naturally to a lot of people, but I'm not kidding when I say I can't do it. It hurts my chest, my knees. I just ache and it's not enjoyable at all. BUT, no pain no gain and even when I just ran a straight .3miles the amount of calories I burned was significantly higher then when I do the stairmaster (DEVIL) or the bike.
So here it goes, double time. Any support, as always, accepted and appreciated. :)
Keep it up, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah...running sucks, try the elliptical!
