I've been traveling and enjoying my holiday time with family & friends. I have not had the chance to write updates in regards to working out. I think when I get back on schedule I'll no longer do my 30 mile per week runs. I'm losing too much weight. We will see, I'll modify it later.
There are many ways to encourage yourself to keep pushing along with your exercise routine, mine has been photos. I guess it's the incentive that only a camera or a mirror can capture. I don't really do that cheat day, I view them as teases. Instead I just have a constant diet --- with minimal restrictions. I love food. I eat well and grill or bake most of my meals. This week will make exactly 114 miles ran since I started in November-- where is my Apple Juice to celebrate?
I feel that keeping a journal is really motivating me! I mean if I leave a week without updates it's like ooo noo, I've failed my potential readers. I think it is funny actually. I remember telling a friend I must run my 6 miles--- I can't lie to my journal, Divatude.
I'll be practicing the same technique as I embark on my journey to clearer skin. I'll try to photograph comparison shots and my problem areas as well.
The third week was indeed the toughest week for me when it came to running. It was Thanksgiving-- enough said. I ran about 2/5 days that week of my scheduled runs. It has been getting colder but I've been relentless and unyielding. I am determined to not give up! I am entering WEEK 4 , YAY. It has been great. I have ran 102 miles thus far, if you include today ! It's been a long journey and my body has been "through" it all.
My knee is sort of still tender :-/
I discuss some advice on my youtube channel, ebokosia.
