I Wandered Off

Okay, so after working out with my Mom on Thursday my lower back was in pain, twisting and lifting wasn't going to happen and I allowed myself to rest until it didn't hurt an it ymore.  I should have gone for a walk or something but I didn't.  Tsk Tsk!  So back I went today with the HIIT 15/STretch 10 and a hour walk.  I did rather well with my walk! Further than I have gone so far!!  The weather was not comforting at all, it was raining diagonally and the wind was chilly but I kept going.  It reminded me of high school track.  However on really crappy days we would play ultimate frisbee.  That was so much fun! Back on track! I have a blister on my right heel and some chaffing on my inner left thigh.  It's quite uncomfortable as I have never chaffed before.  Now I feel bad for picking on someone when they were complaining about chaffing.  

It is weird being your own cheerleader though.  At a couple points in my walk I found myself giving myself a pep talk to walk faster and further.  Almost hit 3 1/2 miles today.  Very proud of myself.  Now I am hoping that my body will cooperate with me tomorrow so that I can go for another walk, and hopefully it will not be pouring outside either.  It was nice to come home to the kids sleeping and a hot shower!  I am pretty upset with myself for not working out the last four days, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep going.  Maybe I should set some more realistic goals for myself.  I just need to turn my walks into habit.  If I just do it everyday then I will see some results.  Afterall I have lost 5 pounds this week.  I want to weigh myself everyday but I don't want to get frustrated becuase I am not seeing any difference on the scale.
