Boundries Broken

What a day! And I'm only a couple of hours into it!

This morning was weigh-in day for me. I got up did my "stuff" and stepped on the scale...Rats...I'm still obese. I tried to shrug it off, vowed to have a better week, put on my big girl panties and went out for my run.

Now, hills have been my nemesis on my runs but I'm running at least 3 miles when I go out. I've been eying a route that is almost all uphill on the last half and this morning I was just irritated enough to take it on. And take it on, I did! I felt strong, capable and let's face it...in the dark I couldn't really see the how steep the incline was. I nailed it...36 minutes! That's a 4 minute improvement!

Once I got back home and got ready to get in the shower I hopped back on the scale just for kicks and giggles...I looked...got off, hopped on again and screamed for my hubby. I was 3 pounds down...what the heck?

I happy danced in the shower, had visions of me in leotards in a cape standing at the top of the hill I just conquered just like a super hero. Okay, that was pretty silly but I did.

I am now officially overweight and there ain't a hill that I can't run up! WOOOWHOOOO!! (Here I come to save the day!!) :)
