Sunday: 1 hr walk/run. Tired again! I am not drinking as much fluids as I have the last few days and I wonder if I am really dehydrated usually and need to watch my fluid intake. It could be what I'm eating; I am back to having some oats in the a.m. and some (though not a lot of) dairy--cottage cheese and yogurt so far.
Monday: 1/2 hr balance ball legs; 1/2 hr yoga legs and butt
Tuesday: 1/2 hr + pilates (more reps of movements on 1/2 hr tape)
Wednesday: 7 min walk / 32 min run / 4 min walk = 43 min (trying to see if I can't ease into the 1/2 marathon schedule)
Friday: 25 min run (according to 1/2 marathon schedule); 40 min walk; arm exercises.
Saturday: 1/2 hr. cardio yoga--sun salutations--who knew saying good morning to the sun would be so tough! Trying to keep today low key as tomorrow is my "long" run (3 miles, so not bad, but Sundays will build according to the 1/2 marathon schedule).
Reminder to self: January 2011 I was 16 pounds heavier than I am now and thinking I looked old and bloated. I'm looking strong, lean, and confident. I still have a ways to go, but it's much better than it was then. I feel I'm definitely more muscle than I have been in a long while. I am (as the instructor on one of my exercise tapes says), beautiful, confident, wonderful, amazing. And getting better every day ;) And to think this makes me cry to say it shows how far I still have to go to really, truly embrace this idea.
