Sweat is Fat Crying

I TORE IT UP in the gym tonight. I thought I was going to drop. I spent a long time on the treadmill doing intervals of walking fast and running, and then I rode the bike for 3 miles, at a much more rapid pace than any fat girl should. Then I created my own personal challenge.

I hopped back on the treadmill, and then I did 1 minute at 0% incline, only at 2 mph. I stayed at 2 mph the whole time. Then at the one minute mark, I went up to 1% incline. I increased the incline 1% every minute. I got all the way up to 15% and back down to 13% before I realized my heart was beating funny, and my face was REALLY red. I started dropping it a few % every 30 seconds or so to slow down slowly. Instead of going all the way back down, and taking 30 minutes, I only did 20 minutes, but I think I did pretty good. I climbed 260 vertical feet. I was WASTED when I was done.

This is the end result. I am EXTREMELY proud of how today went, in regards to my diet and exercise. I am really planning on giving March my all. I really am more determined than ever to do this. I will be spending more time at the gym, because my husband, (oh ye of little faith) decided that I will not use the treadmill enough, and does not even want to get the low end cheap model now. He does not think I will keep at it.

Nothing motivates you more than trying to prove someone wrong.

After the gym I went to the store and loaded up on good, whole foods. The only thing I bought that was not "real" food, was bread, tortillas, and 2 bags of chips. One for the kids, and one bag of baked lays to go with the crock pot bbq beef I am making this weekend. I loaded up on fruits and veggies since I am juicing and making smoothies again for breakfast. I was also able to get a lot of shrimp on the cheap because it is lent. I love this time of year.
