Today's Workout

Treadmill: 2.25 miles, 330 calories, 30 minutes

So yeah... it's been awhile. 

I decided to take a break from my workouts for a little bit because I was afraid it was having some adverse affects on my 'plumbing', for lack of a better word...anyways.

Also I got mad because after all that hard work I was doing... I hadn't lost even an ounce. Nope. In fact, I gained weight. Now don't give me that nonsense about gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat because I don't care...it was disheartening to see that number go up after all the sweat and tears I shed on that stupid treadmill.

I just made a spreadsheet and added it up like the ocd freak that I am...

65 days.
51.32 miles.
1,131 minutes.
13,173 calories.

I should have seriously lost SOMETHING.

Besides my mind.

Soooo I threw a 5 year old fit and said WHATEVER and decided I'd cut back because it obviously wasn't working for me anyways.

Well, cutting back turned into cutting it out completely....Ooops.

I went to the doctor last week and I was right, she told me that a) I need to get back into the habit of exercising regularly but b) I need to cut back because the excessive exercise was probably (one of the things) messing with my system. When I told her I was doing an hour, hour and a half or sometimes even more than that, she looked at me open-mouthed and said I probably shouldn't be doing that much right now. Which kind of doesn't make sense to me, but yet it kind of does. 

But now I am back at it! Just scaled back a bit. I did 30 minutes tonight and seriously felt like it was just a warm up, so that isn't gonna work for me ;) But I will at least limit myself to no more than an hour, for now anyways. 

Kind of sucks when you are trying to get healthy...but your own health is what is holding you back.  Ya know? Stupid catch 22.
