I did get up and ride the bike though! Made it 12.5 miles and about 56 minutes. Burned 250 calories this morning, right off the bat.
I think I'm going to participate in the color run at the end of March. It's a 5K run, though I would have to walk it. My joints are no where near up to running. My oldest daughter said she wants to do it and she'll even walk with me (she's a runner, so it will be agony for her to have to walk it ...) and keep me company! I think it will be fun. Though, now I have to figure out a way to incorporate walking into my exercise routine. Not sure how easy that is going to be...
Along those lines, here is my quote of the day:
"What the mind of a man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
- Napoleon Hill
Winston Churchill said, "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." But I think it should be "without loss of determination." There are times when failure dampens the enthusiasm, but if the determination is still there, that's what counts.
Reddit has a "couch to 5K" sub-reddit that I'm going to look into to try and get ready for this thing.
Meanwhile, I seem to be holding steady with my program. This weekend wasn't as bad as I expected. I did manage to eat smaller portions, so I'm proud of myself for that. It wasn't like I felt deprived since I allowed myself some. Friday night was pretty much a loss, though. Can't do much about alcohol and mexican food. We'll just chalk that one up to "good times" and move on. I'll have to analyze date night a little differently next time.
So, a fresh week is here. It's a bad week work-wise. Lots of things to do this week. Plus we have Valentine's Day to deal with - schools, etc. This weekend coming up is a 4 day weekend for the kids (not for Hubby and I, however).
Just got to keep on keeping on. Day by day.
