I just had a fresh -out- of -the -oven- chocolate muffin with a cold glass of milk, and a kitty on my lap.

Some mornings are just perfect. I woke up to Koshka throwing up- her meds aren’t going easy on her. After cleaning it up, Koshka nestled back into bed with me and we slept for another hour or so….I woke up crying and coughing due to a nightmare/memory. At this point I realized I needed to go for a run. I’ve been putting it off for a week due to my knee hurting, causing general crankiness. eh
It was great! My lungs were being flooded by ice cubes , prickling as the ice moved over my expanding lungs with each inhale. After about 2 minutes of this I reached a comfortable temperature and pace. For about 15 minutes it was just my feet pounding against the pavement, clearing my head ,getting into the “zone” if you will. At this point I was able to clear my mind and resolve some problems I had. I will not go into detail but I will say that the move is near. Oh so very near.
it’s going to be a good day.

lot’s of people know about my nickname the gimp..I have once again proven it right. I have most likely sprained my left knee. This is an improvement as I am no longer spraining my right leg (right ankle 3x, right knee 1x, and the infamous sprain of the right toes). I am giving myself one day off from running and only doing pilates tonight. Tomorrow will be swimming-slowly.

Last night from 10-11pm you could of found me at the gym trying not to keel over while running. I’ve always been rather good with exercise but since I’ve slacked off for the past two weeks and have only been doing swimming, running just about did me in. Wait I have gone ahead of myself. How did I get to this pitiful gym venture? The usual reason-weight gain.
Taking a long hard look at what has caused me to gain 7 pounds I have noticed that I have changed my eating habits. For example, eating out a lot more and not eating healthy when doing so, along with the slow down in exercise. I have also seriously decreased the amount of time at the pool or on the treadmill/sidewalk.
Starting today I have set up a whole schedule to get back on track and closer to my driver license weight*. I have even planned my dinner menu for the week. (Hella veggies and water included)
1st week: running days I have to do at least 2-3 miles
2nd week: running days I have to do at least 3 miles
3rd week: running days 3-4 miles
4th week: running days 3-4 miles
5th week: running days 5 miles
By the 5th week I should be back to my desired running condition (does that make sense?) and not feel so chunky.
Okay. So I have posted my plan for the world to see. Now I couldn’t possibly back down as I would feel like a total ass if I didn’t go through with what I said I would do. Shame Motivation-works wonders
* caution about the DL weight. If I gain muscle weight and lose fat weight that number becomes negligible.
