After a busy day on Saturday, I decided to do my long run today instead. That was an interesting challenge, trying to squeeze in enough time to run 4 miles in the middle of an already extremely busy day. I was able to do it though, and I actually ran the entire 4 miles without stopping. It wasn't quite as easy as last Tuesday, but I certainly wasn't having any trouble with it at all. Its very strange to think that I can run 4 miles, when a year ago I could barely run at all. And if I think back even further, I can remember the days when I would reach the top of the stairs and be out of breath. WOW. Back then I had NO desire to endure pain, or even think about doing exercise. I'm glad I said goodbye to that lifestyle, and I do not plan on ever going back.
WEIGHT LOSS TIP: Don't deprive yourself of food over the holidays, just make sure you are eating small portions and make up the difference in exercise. I find that I am much happier if I let myself have a piece of cake, with the understanding that I will then go walk off the calories, or go to the gym. Exercising more during the holidays will make up for the extra calories, as long as you don't overdo it. =)
