So today I ate more veggies than I think I ever have in one day. I had a salad for lunch, and then we had a chef come in and do a healthy cooking demo for weight loss class tonight and I had a cauliflower salad, and then a fruit and chicken salad. Fruit, granola and yogurt parfait for dessert. When I got home I had 2 slices of whole wheat French toast w/ sliced strawberries. I had so much energy at 11 pm that I decided to, wait for it, EXERCISE!!!!!!
Not just exercise, mind you, I set out to try and run. An old friend of mine on Facebook has achieved my (and her) goal, she has lost 100 lbs over 2 years. and she looks incredible. She has also taken to running. This is a girl who lived in the music room, always singing, dancing or pulling pranks. I was frankly shocked to hear she was running, and had that, if she can do this, so can I moment. So I went for it. I briskly walked the first km, and then ran, (ok I'm using that term loosely)for the last km.
I'd like to describe my speed as "a snail's pace"but I've seen those little fuckers move, and they can go fast when threatened with a salt shaker. In reality I just made sure I put one foot in front of the other. It was 10 weeks ago tonight that I broke my tailbone, and that i was able to jog even slightly was super impressive. I really wasn't sure how it would go. I tried a couple weeks ago to run to my car in the rain and it was a very bad plan. seems like the acupuncture is working.
I'm a big fan of this running at night concept. A 250 lb woman running is never a pretty sight, so best I do it in the cover of night. Ah poetry. Funny part was that some guy in a raised up black pickup blasted his horn a couple times and yelled "ya girl" out the window at me. Better than pointing and laughing I suppose.
