Wonder Woman can’t fly like Superman, but she can run!

People, I am really proud of myself.  I have stayed on my diet to the letter since I started about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I have done my workouts with much intensity since I started that 1 1/2 weeks ago.  But, the last 3 days have really been good.  I started running again.  I used to run years back when I was about 145 pounds.  But, the great thing is that I am running now at the same intensity I did back then.  I’m running about 11 to 12 minute miles and I’m running for 2 miles.  Today I ran for 23 mins and did 2 miles!  Is it easy?  Parts of it yes, parts of it no.  Especially those last 3 mins. But, I love that I can move like that now.  I can move more than just to the fridge and back to the couch.  A real workout before would have been looking for the remote control.  Bending over to look under the couch, or scurry around looking for it before my favorite show would come on.  Anyway, my weigh in is Sunday.  The scale has showed some change but I’m not clocking it until Sunday.

I hope everyone else is doing well.  Get yourself mentally ready for the weekend.  And no pigging out on Super Bowl Sunday!  That game will come and go but our weight will be there taunting us the next day.  Think Light Beer for you drinkers out there.

    lol… Hey, looking for the remote control can be a good workout! Last time I looked for mine I ended up moving the couch and the dresser and bending to look under stuff, etc… Never did find it though.  Maybe you should come look?

    Keep up the good work, looks like you are doing great! …. Did y’all get any snow today? We got a little bit for a few minutes in East TX.

    That’s the way to go!  Wow, can’t remember the last time I ran.  Have hard enough time walking.  I see people that run and always think it looks like fun.  I never could run, not even in my thinner days in High School.  Give me dance and I am there!  Not as good as my dh, but I love too.  Only with my weight now, I get embarassed dancing in front of people.  I know I am not the only fat chick out there.  I see a lot of women my size or bigger on the   dance floor.  Wish I could have their self-esteem and feel that good about myself.

    Keep up the great work and have a great Thursday!  I don’t think we will be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday.  The Seahawks didn’t make it, so don’t think dh and son will be as interested.  We had fun last year, but was really disappointed in the outcome of that game.  My dh was even upset and he is from Pittsburgh.  Born and raised there.
