CONFESSIONS OF A BB HOPEFUL

back down to 124 today!!  you guys are right… i totally freaked   so, scales are the enemy!! i did start drinking protein shakes so that might have been the fluid gain… thank goodness

just registered for a 1/2 marathon trail race!! totally pumped!! i can’t wait to feel the earth under my feet instead of pavement   its not part of my training for the 5k, but i want to run long… i love how i feel after putting myself through that intensity…  i don’t know how i’m going to merge these two loves, bodybuliding and running… they seem to work against each other… but i don’t want to stop either

i’m so frustrated… i’m following a strict diet and i weighed myself this afternoon… i’ve gained 2 frickin lbs!!  what the heck… telling myself its muscle   i want to add size to my legs but i can’t deal with the weight gain…  i don’t look bigger, in fact i look better than i have in my whole life… i suppose i should stop focusing on the scales…

4 weeks till 5k, did a test run with my husband this morning… 26:18… boo!… shooting for 24min. on the 14th… gonna have to bust my butt and lose some of this extra poundage to make it happen…  i’m slow!! but better than the 31 min. it took me to run my first a year ago… i really want to focus on building my leg muscles but i’m already committed to this race and want to see if i can hit this goal before embarking on a new one… one thing at a time i suppose…

a totally new mindset has been planted within me… i will accomplish the goals i’ve set for myself… i will get stronger… i will get leaner… i will run faster…  this one is for me… and i WILL succeed!!
