Reflection on Week 15 of 52

Weigh In: 208

Well, I maintained even though I got sick mid-stream this week and haven't worked out since Tuesday. Last Sunday was good, I got back into the gym having fun, doing three different exercises. Then Monday I went in and just did the eliptical, I was skipping the treadmill due to my knee. I upped my free weights to 8lbs and really felt it this time. Tuesday I did Kundalini yoga and had an awesome time. I felt stronger than the last time. Then Wednesday on the way to the gym I felt my breathing my shallow and I had been coughing all day. I wanted to go after work since Dan wasn't coming. We usually work out in the mornings, but when Dan doesn't go (he was sick) I go after work. I had been feeling kind of weird all day. I read my intuition and decided to turn right around and go home. I was right, Thursday I was feeling a little worse and then come Friday I was down for the count.

I was so soar due to Kundalini yoga, I couldn't tell if it was from the workout or the sickness. Ha! Don't want to go through that again. I do admit, I seriously miss working out. This sucks. I haven't been able to get a great workout in for about three weeks now. Sad to say too that it's coming down to canceling our gym membership. We have to cut it in order to save money and that makes me sad and scared. I'm scared I'll go back to my starting weight, I admit. However I beleive if I make a good plan and stick with it, that won't happen. I have to take advantage of the great outdoors since it's getting so nice out. I must be inventive. We'll be cancelling Monday, which will actually give us through the end of May since we had to pay the last month.

April and May will be transition months, working out in the gym and integrating new outdoor workouts. I hate to run outside, but my love of the runner's high will make me get outside and run anyway. I'll find a love of running in the outdoors, I know I will. It will take time. More to come on the transition later.
