Dana's Third Post

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 – Friday, March 5, 2010
So these last two weeks, I have felt like a slacker. My back is still hurting and preventing me from doing a lot. Then I got a really bad head cold while I was traveling for work. So I have tried my best to get a workout in when I can but I have been really tired and not feeling well. I know Dre would really disapprove but I feel like I really need to get myself back to being healthy. My breathing has been really labored.

Today was my first day back full force. I went running (and walking) and did some weights. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. My back is feeling better but my breathing is still labored. I haven’t fully recovered from the head cold so it’s making it a little hard but I pushed through.

I went for a long high-powered walk today. After yesterday my head cold almost got worse. So I couldn’t run.

Day off – I’m glad too. It’s hard to get back into working out when you’ve taking a few days off.

Kickboxing was hell. I knew I was going to have to do it at some point. But it was so embarrassing because I could hardly keep up with everyone else. I know that’s not the point but it still sucks. I was completely winded. I felt like my heart was going to bust out of my chest. I would be lying if I didn’t say I felt like giving up but I forced myself to push through.

First day back with Dre in a few weeks. I’m excited to see the girls but not looking forward to what I’m about to go through. It was as bad as I thought. All that cardio is killing me. I still have residual breathing complications from my head cold and on top of that I suffer from asthma anyway. Right now the cardio is definitely harder than the weights. But that’s how I’m going to lose these pounds.

I don’t know any other way to say this other than “I really hate this right now.” I’m not where I want to be. I know I could be doing so much better but I’m tired, I hurt, and it isn’t fun. Needless to say I don’t want to go to boxing. I’m really contemplating not going. But I’m just not going to go back home and go straight to the gym. I hope I make it through.

Nothing to say…

Let’s see how kettlebells goes today. Since I hurt my back, I’m a little scared to do them again. They really aggravated my back the last time. I will probably not do the swings or just use smaller weight for them. I’m glad I did it. My back didn’t hurt to bad at least I wasn’t in any pain. I went down to 10lbs for the swings.

I’m not as sore as I have been in the last few days. I think my body is starting to catch up to my mind. I’m finally not dreading working out so much.
