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!
