Saturday I had a great workout. I did chest, bi’s, abs and some stretching at the gym and then took George for a run. We were both exhausted once we got back and just rested the rest of the day.

Today I got up at 3:50, didn’t actually get out of bed until 4:05 though. Did shoulders, tri’s and some abs.

When 3:50 rolled around this morning I decided to forgo my trip to the gym but to no avail I did get up with enough time to run on my treadmill. I really pushed myself too.

215 cal/ 23:47 min/ 1.863 miles/ max 6.4

In the past I wouldn’t consider this pushing myself but it feels like I’m starting all over again. Oh well, it will come back quickly.

Wow, it’s been forever since I blogged. I just got tired of logging on everyday and doing the same thing. My last blog was a great one. But last week I finally had a melt down. I had been going strong since May and maintaining the weight I had lost, but last week it all came to a crashing halt. I didn’t workout for a whole week and ate like absolute crap. I constantly felt lathargic and just wished I could sleep all day. Maybe it was the season change ( I was really wanting to bake), or maybe I was exhausted from overtraining. Taking a break would have been good but eatting like crap didn’t help. But Tuesday night was my turning point.

I finally was able to turn my mood around and I think I was finally rested and definitely got the bad eatting out of the way. I pretty much felt like crap. So Wednesday I was back up at 4 am and in the gym kicking butt. I didn’t have enough time to get in a full workout but I felt great doing what I did.

Then I did a 30 min run, with walking though. Geez, you don’t run for a week and you feel like you’re running through sludge. But none the less I was sweating, so I feel I accomplished something. 

Then today I got up 5 min earlier at 3:55 and got to the gym a little bit earlier. I plan on doing this over time.
