Delayed again but made up for it the next day.

Week 4. Day 1.  I gotta tell you that I've been pretty intimidated and a l'il scared to start week 4.  I still remember the first week and how hard it was to run 1.5 min let alone five whole minutes at a time.  I've been letting outside things also intimidate me.  I had read a bunch of posts of how hard week 4 is, and how many give up at this time.  I was letting all this psych me out.    I also was running behind.  Due to real life obligations such as work, family, etc. I had intended to start week 4 on Sunday.  I was running late due to my skipped Friday workout.  Sunday..I ended week 3, Tuesday was my scheduled day to start week 4.  Surprise, I had to work late!  Seriously, I think something was stalling me and maybe that something was Me. 

Who knows but the point is I made it today.  I made it and it wasn't that bad!  I slowed my pace on the five minute runs but still kept the incline.  I made it through without major side stitches and without being crazy out of breath.  I was extremely proud of myself!  I can't wait to do it again!

Tomorrow I have my Pilates Reformer class.  I wonder what is going to hurt most then.  After my arm pain last week, I think I'm going to boost my protein intake tomorrow. 

Speaking of which, I'm gonna go plan my meals for tomorrow.  Let's see how I weigh in this week.  Each week I've been playing with my food intake on the weekend and to see what works best.  Last week I knew it would be a light (weight loss) week due to my splurges from Sat-Mon.  All I lost was .5lb (better than nothing).  I hope to do better this week as I carefully monitored my splurges.

Wish me luck!
