So my first 30 days are under my belt, I say that and it sounds like I'm celebrating sobriety. I guess in a weird way I am.
When I think back to the last 30 days there really has been some changes.
Compared to September 10th, I have more energy, I'm more flexible, my legs and back don't ache as bad, exercise feels good (for the most part), I make better food choices and have LESS guilt. I'm more patient with others, content in my own existence, and find I'm able to treat myself to things other than food and not feel bad about it. My breathing is lighter and I sleep much better. Some of my clothes feel looser.
What I need to work on....getting walking into my exercise mix on a regular basis, I almost didn't make the 1.5 mile trek yesterday. I won't try again for a mile and a half until November 25th when Boo Boo comes home for Thanksgiving. I also need to mix in a lower body weight routine to build up my calves and thighs and ankles. I discovered yesterday just how weak they are. I know falling off the deck and slipping on the Frisbee didn't help....but damn...they need work...that's all I'm saying.
I had to stop a few times out on the trail, next month looking to cut the pauses in half.
And I'd really love to be in the water by the end of Nov/beginning of Dec.
nothing helps me more than that. I guess I should start shopping around for a swimsuit.
