Dripping Sweat….Finally

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

I have finally worked my way up to some heart racing, out of breath, dripping sweat workouts.  I love it…and really missed it.  I have been gradually (really gradually) increasing my workout intensity overthe past five months with the help of my p.t.  I am now back to running, cycling, wake boarding, horseback riding, etc.  I still have a long way to go but I just love feeling exhausted after a good run or cycling class.  My back has been feeling great through all of this.  It isn’t totally healed and never will be but the pain is pretty mild and doesn’t linger for days. 

The downside to working out harder is a huge increase in my appetite!  Figures.  I am back up about three pounds and can’t seem to stop eating.  I am thinking about joining WW again just to loose these last lingering pounds.  Pathetic huh? 

Slow and steady right? 

How slow can you go…

That’s apparently my motto with weight loss. At my WW meeting this week, I received another gold star finally! 15 pounds lost, baby. I really needed that. We’re headed to the beach this weekend, so I’m going to have to be careful about not going completely off the wagon. However, I do plan on fully enjoying a nice, moderate breakfast at Pig-n-Pancake! yummmm….. My next goal: lose 5 pounds in August. love you sistahs!
