I bent forward and kept my legs straight. The burn that came from stretching made me let out a big puff of air. I had just finished 2 miles in 26 minutes. I kept the stretch going for 60 seconds. I then slowly rose up exhaling. I felt so relieved so free. I love the feeling that I am taken over with when I am running. I urge to shortness of breath, I need the burning sensation in my lungs like a smoker needs the drag off of their cigarette. I am running junkie. Throughout my entire pregnancy I couldn't’t run. I needed it so badly, without the exercise I became a witch. The hormones didn’t help the cause but the lack of running really put a strain on me emotionally as well as physically.
I am three months postpartum and 32 pounds lighter, I could not be more pleased, as I am sure my boyfriend is as well because he doesn’t have to fear the loss of life every time I decide to sit on his lap anymore! (When I was pregnant I would attempt this as well as trying to preserve the romance in our relationship. But who in the world would take a pregnant lady tease dance seriously!)
But that was then and this is now. 32 pounds lighter the dance is a lot more appealing. I have been swamped at work this week. But I have kept from cheating; Although Sushi on my cheat days has become a routine. Mmmm sushi is the best food in the world! I should have been born Asian and not Mexican.
I have 30 pounds to lose and 9 weeks until my 5k race, and it’s all on schedule so far! Hope you all have an awesome weekend and remember determination and a big imagination will take you far.
