Fatathon

And I ran, I ran (not) so far away...

Remember that song from the 80's? Flock of Seagulls have not aged well.

I ran last night for about 5 minutes out of 30. Well it was really a wog (which is a MizFit word I love!) It was SO hard. I was sweating like a fool. Luckily there weren't many people around me! I'm always afraid that when I have my Ipod on I'm breathing too loudly. I know I already look like a fool with fat and sweat flying everywhere but I don't want to draw attention to myself gasping for air.

At first I didn't think my ankles were going to cooperate with this new idea of running. My first attempt scared me a little so I slowed back down to a walk but then I tried it again at a slower pace and I was fine. It's going to take some work to make them strong again. They still feel a little wobbly at times.

My husband and I are going to go to the gym tonight together if we both get out of work around the same time. I'm looking forward to that! By July I would like to be ready to do a spin class which is another fun thing we could do together. By then it will be too hot to be outside for exercise!

The weekend will be pretty low key and I'm planning on staying in control of my eating and getting plenty of exercise. I've dipped into some extra points already this week and I'm going to have to be careful. It's really too bad it's supposed to be cloudy again! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!
