this up. because I need to work out more. 5 months ago

why you’re not supposed to cook barefoot: a week and a half ago, I dropped a Pyrex bowl lid onto the first joint of my big toe.

the lid didn’t break, and neither did the toe, but my foot was deeply and badly bruised.

I took a whole week off my brand-new (as in one session!) workout routine, but when I put my sneakers on Tuesday, just walking to the car hurt.

a fit young friend is coming into town Monday, so I’ve asked her to come do a workout with me. she’s thrilled to help.

I’m going to continue to rest my foot until then. 10 months ago

I’m writing this from the treadmill. 10 months ago

So… I’ve been consistently working out for 6 weeks now. At a minimum I do 3 times a week. I’ve lost 10 lbs, can keep going for 45 minutes straight, and feel f-ing fantastic!

The best part is that I have an old note on a whiteboard from when I started with the time, distance, and calories burned. I remember writing it and feeling all proud of myself, but now on average, I’ve tripled those numbers.

Yeay me!! 2 years ago
