Another tired day. Not sure if it's Keto flu or what. I'm just physically exhausted. I did get up and go to the gym. No running today but a tabata work out. I walked for a few minutes to warm up and then got my timer out and a mat to work on. I looked in the big mirror and just saw fat. Seriously. It was a moment I won't forget. When I looked in the mirror I just saw fat. I didn't want to be in front of that mirror. I put everything away and walked the track a couple times. Then it hit me - That mirror wasn't going to win. I needed to go back and work. I got everything back out and went to work. I only did it 4 times and I focused on my upper body with some leg raises. When I was done, the person in the mirror wasn't the same person. I just saw me - It was all okay. So glad I did my tabata today.
Just a note - I've done something to my foot. It hurts on top. I'm guessing a stress fracture or the beginning of one. I'm icing it today an taking ibuprofen. I can't stop running at this point. I just started and I'm going to need all the time I can to be ready to run the half marathon in June.
I've noticed a few things. The awesome Nike jacket I got for Christmas was tight around the hips and I had to pull it to get it to zip. Not any more. It is loose when I zip it. My pants are also getting looser in the butt and waist. I'm not loosing as fast as I would like but things are happening.
Weight loss - I think I'm eating too many carbs. I know that almonds are killing me. I know that I will lose at a faster rate if I don't eat them. They are such an easy go to food -- that needs to be fixed and soon.
Well - Happy Friday! I'm icing my foot now and then it's off to the shower and house cleaning. Have a great Friday!
