Never Give Up

I didn't even bother to post stats on Thursday, too depressing. I think I gained more weight this week but since I didn't deserve to lose any, I guess I can't be too upset. I did try to workout some last week but with my conference and the late nights, it didn't go so well.

But, every week is a new opportunity to do better, right?

I've only been at this for 4 weeks now & already I needed to give myself a serious butt-kicking. So, this morning's run really felt like it. It was only 30 minutes (standard morning workout time) but am I ever sweaty. Gross really. I ran from my starting point (about 1/4 mile), then a full 1/2 mile, walk to the next hydro pole, then run the same 1/2 mile/1/4 mile back. Adding all that up makes 1.5 miles ran (all out!) this morning.

Last year I was running 2 miles (plus the 1/4 mile each way) in 30 minutes. I could almost see the "finish line" this morning. That was very inspiring. I always want to give up about 1/2 mile into the run, it's so hard, it's still cold, I'm tired..... but this morning I pushed my boundaries and made myself put out the effort.

Never give up. That's my new mantra for the week.

Ok, goals this week:
1. Work out Monday - Friday. At least 1 bike ride/run
2. Drink 2 bottles (591 ml) water at work, 5 glasses at home
3. Add 1 strength/toning workout in the evening.
4. (This is week 4!!) Ride bikes with Eric at least 2 times this week, plus once on weekend
