This is what my yoga instructor told us last night in an effort to get us to push just that little bit further. I am so guilty of this, so I need to shut down all the negative "chatter" going on inside of my head, I need to dig deep and overcome my own mind, as weird as that sounds. I am my own biggest obstacle.
In an effort to do this I got on the treadmill today, did my 1 mile warm up walk and then I jogged for one mile without stopping. This is huge for me because I haven't done it in months (and 30# ago), when I was going to the gym. It was a slow jog, 4.5mph, but my hip held up pretty darn well, considering. It was aching toward the end when I did the last 1.2 miles of jogging and walking, but I finished, and it felt damn good! I think switching to doing every other day on the treadmill instead of 5 days in a row is going to turn out to be a good move, at least for a while.
As a side note, when I was using the stairs to stretch out my hips after I got off the treadmill, Paige climbed half way up the stairs and basically straddled 3 steps and stretched out, "Is this right mom?"...Oh to be that flexible!!
Treadmill stats for today...
One mile walk:
15.23 minutes
1.00 miles
141.3 calories
Walked at 3.5 to 4.1 mph with a .5 to 1.0 incline
One mile jog:
13.22 minutes
1.001 miles
169.5 calories
Jogged at 4.5 mph no incline
1.2 mile jog/walk and cool down
17.50 minutes
1.2 miles
192.7 calories
Speeds and inclines varied
Totals for the day:
45.95 minutes
3.2 miles
503.5 calories burned
Not the greatest, but at least I'm getting there slowly but surely. I need to not overdo it, I don't want that hip to get bad again and set me back. No injuries!!!
So weigh in this morning was depressing 202.8#
I weighed 2# less at the doctors office this morning, with clothes on, which is weird, I don't know if my scale is off or his. Oh well, I'll go by mine.
I will post my food log later.

The mind will tell the body to quit before the body physically needs to quit
