My whole self hurts

I swear I did not edit this pic and put one of those funky effects on it--it came straight out of the camera this way. I like it.

Today is a rainy gross day. A good day for me to feel like I have been hit by a truck--which I do, since I decided it was time that I become a runner. I started at 1 pm yesterday on my lunch hour--I followed the beginning runner instructions of running two minutes, walking three minutes and repeating for 30 minutes. I did it, but thought I was going to die.

I did it in the street by my house--and when people drove by, I was afraid that people were going to stop and see if I needed help. That is the kind of spectacle I made of myself. Even worse, I was not sure that I did not need help. More than once, I considered just rolling out in the ditch and waiting for it all to end.

Somehow I ended up at home. Still breathing. Today, I wish I was not. I hurt so bad. It started in my shoulders and back, but now it is in the outside of my thighs and my butt. I still did spinning class this morning though! Go me! As the day wore on, it got worse of course--but I had training with the Beast tonight. I think he gets off on these things. He knew I was hurting bad, but this might have been the hardest workout we have ever done--I did 200 pounds on the leg press, which I have not done before. And three sets of planks, which I hate hate hate, and he made me carry a pile of weights up and down the steps. That made me woozy.

But it was still a good day, as I lost another 1.6 pounds--down to a new low since the fat set in. I FEEL good, despite all the pain. And I still have not hit my calorie limit--which means I get to eat MORE yogurt! This will be yogurt four of the day, but I do not care.

Tomorrow means to be a crazy day--cross your fingers that I can do it all, and still get in the walk/jog/shuffle I am supposed to do.

This getting in shape crap is not all its cracked up to be. But I did try on new jeans that I got for Xmas that were not even buttonable at that time--and they might even be big now!
