A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

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!
