Week 4 Results

Down 1.8lbs

It's not bad. I was down more, but there is nothing like a road trip to totally ruin your weight loss efforts. My little family decided to go on an extremely last minute road trip. Literately we decided to go and where gone in less then 3 hours. CRAZY! We never do stuff like that, but it was the fourth of July so we decided to give it a go. I'm a little bummed because I had the best week of my entire life eating and working out, and then went to on the road food and no working out for 4 days. I think I would have lost more if it weren't for that. But oh well. I did try to eat okay. I wasn't back to "old" Rachel but it also wasn't "new" Rachel. I've learned that marshmallows are NOT a "safe" food for me. I canNOT say no to a marshmallow! UGH! Especially on the fourth of July. Since we have gotten back I have had the WORSE munches! I'll get back on track. I understand that this is life. I'm changing my life style and holidays come up. Like I said, I didn't completely let my self go and I am proud of myself.

My heal still hurts. I really WANT to become a runner so I'm not going to give up. Last night I tried to jog a little and not only did my heal still hurt but my back and shoulders are out of whack due to VERY uncomfortable sleeping arrangements during our trip. I WANT to get to the point where running feels good. My question for the universe is... Can anyone become a "runner?" My definition of a runner is someone who can run with out feeling like they are gonna die after a few short minutes and then KILL the selves just to run for the amount of time or distance they set out to fun for AND a runner is someone who actually LIKES to run. I have NEVER gotten to that point in my life where I like working out and I'm curious if it is possible for anyone to become that type of person. Know what I mean. There is something that I LOVE to do and that is ZUMBA! It is SOOOO fun for me! I would do it everyday and  that makes getting a gym membership really tempting! It's such a great work out, it's SO FUN and the time goes by CRAZY fast! I love it! Maybe that is "my thing" where as running isn't. I could even see myself an instructor. I think that would be so extremely fun!
