Tuesdays update

Hello to my readers!!

Today was a success for my exercise regime!!

I went my usual 2.3 mi's -- not pushing it -- just making sure that I got my heart rate up there. :)

I am going to cross train tomorrow, or that is the plan!!

What I am noticing after getting back into it now, is that my breathing is more rhythmical and not as difficult for me. The running part of it is coming quite, shall I say, easier than it was before when I was first starting out!!! That is a plus!!!

Till tomorrow -- sleep well ( I am also trying to pick it back up for that exact reason!! I have not been sleeping as well as I would like and so I am trying to exhaust myself!! )

Reminder from my reader ( Thank you BTW!! ) -- Pain is WEAKNESS exiting the body!!!!!!!!

Getting back into it

Today was a success!!

I ran 1.7mi -- yep -- didnt stop to walk at all and that was with a big hill involved and the wind.

Yep -- I am proud of me.

I also threw in some arm exercises and mowed the lawn and weed wacked the weeds.

all in all a good day in the exercise world.

Happy Reading..

This week

First off, Thank you to the 'anonymous' messenger!! I like how you put that -- pain is weakness leaving the body!! ( WOW -- how profound!! It fits in alot of things in life!! )

Second off, I was able to get in 2 days of running this week. My goal for next week, or even with the weekend approaching, is to get Sat/Sun in for my exercise and then begin my weekly regime slowly but surely next week.

I have had a bit of balancing to do with life, being on lifes terms as it is. I really have not been able to justify the schedule quite right to fit in my much needed exercise!!

Like I said, for next week, I am hard pressed to get back at it!!

Thank you to all of you who have followed me all this way. The support and love has been a tremendous help in finding my soul through a much healthier way of life!!

hugs to my readers

Starting over

Today is the beginning of starting over my workout regime - after around 30 days off - the need to get back into the swing of things is there for me. How strange, never thought I would ever think this, yet, I found myself wondering: how good would it feel to get back out there and run again - or complete my circuit training? Yet, this happened the other day, so here I am - on a Saturday, childless, out running!!

I did complete a run of 2 m this morning. I chose not to time myself, since this was the first run or exercise I have done in around a months time.

I did purchase new shoes, for the foot that was injured is what had stopped my exercise in the first place. I am going to also venture to a shoe store and find some insoles for my arches, I feel they are needed. Than I am ready to get movin again!!

I am going to also set up a session with my trainer, so that she can kick me in the duff and help me get back into it!!

A goal that I am going to set is to be able to run a half marathon yet this year, with dropping my size down 4 more inches in a few areas. I will have to take it up with my trainer as to how long I can set a goal time for these, yet, these are what I am going to shoot for.

Hope you are well and all is GREAT in your world!!

Thanks for the read!! Many Hugs...
