Determination

Yesterday was not a good day.  I didn't cheat and I did my workout, but I had a bad attitude about a lot of things.  I didn't want to eat healthy, I wanted to sleep in, and I didn't want to workout.  This is why people have such a hard time living a healthy lifestyle.  Not many people want to wake up at 5 am to go work out.  I for one would love to get that extra sleep in.  Most people would love to just eat whatever they want and not look at the calories.  I am not even talking about over eating, just being able to eat whatever you want for dinner.  I am an emotional eater, so it was a ruff day.

I know its good for me and will help me with the rest of my life... but I just wasn't feeling it yesterday.  I am trying to have a better attitude today and the determination to stay positive. 

I started week 6 today and was able to complete it.  I felt the hills a little more today.  I have one more day of interval running and I almost wonder if they are harder for me to do now.  It felt like I was stopping right when I was getting into the flow of my run and then walking.  Then restarting again was a lot harder and I had to refocus on the run.  I think that is a good sign.

I have the same problem with stopping and starting. It's waaaaay easier to just keep going than to stop and start again.
Hope today goes better.

If you stop, I will punch you.
