Yeah you do see that right. 2 weeks of Hard work. 2 weeks!!! You see that is 2 weeks of being constantly sore and lying in bed thinking "geez, I dont think I can be in any more pain" My husband heat welcomed to soothe all the soreness. I may be bitching about soreness alot..but you know Nothing feels better than Skinny or healthy :)

Someday my abs, thighs, Shoulders, and every other sore spot may love me. These results are worth it. Counting this week there is 2 more weeks left of the basic workouts and then A whole recovery week then The scary second month :) I won't lie second month is still terrifying. So I have been working my butt off 110% everytime to get to almost muscle Failure. Heart Rate has been peaking at 150-170 when working out. I have been having so much support lately it is crazy.

Running

So lately I have been attempting to run? This brings up things in my head. Even my friend who has bee "running" even says I would not call myself a "runner". According to everything I read you start out slow. As in my case, 2 minutes of running/4 minutes of walking for a week. Then it gets higher every week 3/3, 4/2 and etc. You build up. Does that mean at this point you aren't a runner. No, you are considered a runner. Dosen't matter if your just starting out or on that 26 mile marathon, you are considered a runner.

Running is exercise that burns calories like nothing else. Interesting fact about 60% of runners, run just to manage their weight. It burns your legs out, tightens your stomach, and burns your arms down. It helps you clear your mind, put yourself to the test, and even build up your lungs. My brother had asthma when he was younger and now he is running 26.4 marathon runs. Just amazing. Hes of course been running for 10+ Years. So he has well, a lot more experience than I do. In my exercise/weight loss journey I have been pushing myself up to the next level every chance I get. Maybe just to prove to myself I can do this. I strive to do this. Even when my calves feel like they are screaming from every direction or my biceps are dying. I still get up and do it. Even after my workout partner quit last month. I wasn't going to be like her.

I have heard from countless people that I am going to loss the weight. I feel gross, disgusting and etc. Then you watch them shove fast food and more unhealthy stuff in their face. All you can wonder, really you feel horrible about yourself but your eating that. Well then. I gave up pop, fast food(just subway, anything with corn syrup, high frutose, bleached stuff, and traded it all in. For water a gallon a day, working out for an hour a day, salads, wheat, and so much more. Seems know anything packed full of sugar makes me want to barf. Blah, seriously. This road is not being taken easily. But thats the fun in life.If everything was the same and normal. Life would be amazingly boring. Well off to do my exercise.

Almost february!

Drinking a gallon of water is almost in my mind the worst punishment ever. Because of my water issues my stomach binds up and sometimes i get sick. Just a little, horrible allergy. It gets better when i mix it with lemons and mint.

My weight loss is going great. Working out jillian yoga, jackie, bob and denise. The strength i get from knowing i pushed my body to an unbelievable pain is amazing. Bob is nice but he burns the hell out of everything. Denise is a 55 year old barbie with a cheerleader voice. But pilates gets you moving. Jillian shes a bitch with a rage. Moves your ass amd makes you sore. Jackie is my lesbian lover so to speak. She looks amazing and makes you suffer.

I get my treadmill next weekend. I am excited and scared. That will be an hour a day on top of my 30 minutes. With two toddlers thats almost impossible. Great thing i have a husband to help when he gets home. I have so much help in my goals, it is exciting. If i stopped now i wouldnt only dissapoint myself. But the people supporting me. Espically my workout partner and new friend for mucho motivation.

Peace out!
