Day 63: A good day

Hello everyone!

While this week of workouts was very draining at the gym, I did the exercises and kept reminding myself of why I was doing this.  So it was rewarding to just be able to go for a run today and although it was cold and wet outside, it felt like one of my better runs.

I'm really enjoying the improved stretching I'm experiencing after every workout.  I am able to go deeper into my stretches than I ever have.

...a moment of weakness :-(
I did have a fail yesterday though in the diet... and I caved and had a Hershey's chocolate bar.  I know it wasn't what I should have chosen, I had other alternatives - fresh fruit, even more whole grains would have been better for me, but in a moment of weakness, I chose poorly.  I'd like to say it made me feel sick, but it actually made me feel better, settled my stomach and I gained the motivation to do my daily workout.  I did extra cardio just because I felt bad about my choice.  But all in all, had a pretty good workout, just feeling a bit weaker on the pull-ups than earlier in the week.

Please stay strong Team Cookie Monster!  Don't let my slip-up influence you to do the same.  Because I'm back from my moment of weakness, ready to attack the PCP again.  Looking forward to the new diets and a fresh start for this last phase of PCP.

  1. It's just a slip up, a mere blip in the grand scheme of things. But couldn't you have chosen some better chocolate?? :)

  2. Haha, I prefer dark myself. Did you get a buzz from it?

  3. Haha-maybe I should have chosen a better chocolate, but I had stashed the hershey's bars in the back of the freezer (left over from summer camping smores) thinking that if they were out of site they'd be out of mind. They were for 62 days!
    No true buzz from eating it, unless an emotional buzz counts! But it did motivate me to go to the gym and get my workout in!

  4. Emotional buzz goes a very long way - that's the only kind of buzz i'm getting these days. We must enjoy it:)
