Today was my Friday. I had one last class, the Religious and the Secular in modern political thought, that basically focuses on how we have become a secular society and the minimizing role of religion in our world today. Seems super interesting and its a very very small class which is nice. That was from 12-1 but we got out early, and I wondered home listening to my ipod. Somewhere between class and here I got super motivated and wanted to work out. However, I do not want to pay 50-75 pounds for a gym membership at our rec center here. Solution: go for a run in the rain, something I used to love to do. I bought some underarmor the other day so i was all prepared and set out on my run.
Now I definitely did not realize just how long it has been since I have done ANY physical activity. Not only have i been feeling like a fatty but my lungs were very unhappy. I dont smoke, obviously, but I was wheezing like I did. I barely made it out of the student living before I had to walk to breath, sharp pain in my lungs and chest. ouch. so unpleasant. However, instead of deter me this made me realize how lazy I have been and to keep going. I took some random roads, ended up lost a couple times and was unsure if I would make it back again for a while but ended up finding a park, seeing a parallel busy street with lots of shops on it and coming out right at the entrance to Elms (where I live). Got home, was still feeling motivated so I continued my workout doing 50 of all my ab workouts-im going to kill tomorrow. Again, big awakening to how fat and lazy I am. Cool down stretch was painful to, first time my splits have been that tight since...ummm i dont know when. Pathetic. Finished workout, made a healthy sandwich with apples on the side and now am still wheezing and coughing because my lungs cant seem to recuperate. (stupid doctors say i dont have asthma every time i ask but i still think their wrong) Hopefully that gets better by tomorrow because I am determined to continue this routine and get back to where I was during the summer when Jamuna had me eating like a rabbit.
Im proud of you! Stay motivated and keep pushing yourself. If you keep doing it, I will too. But hey, don't eat like a rabbit. Veggies aren't all their cracked up to be. Protein is most important (p.s. soy and other substitutes aren't an actual substitute for the feeling a big, juicy steak gives you).
