You Can't Streak In The Cold

Well, you can, but I can't imagine THAT being comfortable!

I have had a pretty good week this week.  Eating has been decent, and I have (as of today) ran two days in a row.  OUTSIDE! 

I went to our local Target and purchased one pair of winter warming pants, one winter warming shirt, one winter pull over jacket, one pair of gloves, and one ear covering head band!

After running two days outside, I want MORE!  I need more outfits so I don't have to wash them everyday!  It is unbelieveable how much easier it is to run in this colder weather!  I never have to catch my breath.  I just breathe.  I can't even explain it.  When it is hot out I struggle to breathe!  It's like my lungs can't even expand enough to get that hot muggy air into my body.  This cold weather does WONDERS!

Other than the snotsicles dripping from my nose by the end I feel amazing!  I have to say that I am VERY sore and uncomfortable tonight!  I have to get better with my stretching before and after running.  I just am usually in such a hurry to get out and go and get back home I forget.  I know....how do I forget right!?  Who knows, but I do.

I think for once my life is really coming together!  I am enjoying my running.  I am losing weight (which i lost the pound I gained AS WELL as one additional pound)  YAY!, I am getting into my beauty routine more, and trying to enjoy this new body of mine!

Slowly but surely the transformation progresses!!  Thanks for reading!

Yes. I said it. I hate the HEAT!

 

                      Does anyone else feel like ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   THAT??

I HATE hot weather!  I also hate snow, but I will save that one for the first official Northeast Ohio snow storm of the winter season.

I enjoy sitting in the shade....having the pool boy fan me while I sip my fruity frozen drink.  BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!  Yeah like THAT would be happening.  I have to say though as I am losing weight the heat doesn't affect me as much.  I seem to tolerate it a little better as time goes on.  Last night I was actually cold!

I guess I don't know where this post is headed and I apologize with my poor authoring skills :)  This is my first time really putting myself out there and writing.

I hate running in the hot sun and feeling like my skin is frying off my body.  Although once I was good at remembering sunscreen it didn't seem as bad.  I really shouldn't complain.  I am actually starting to get nervous with the winter months approaching.  Many things are running through my mind.

1) Should i join a gym

Follow-up to #1) is there a gym that i can go monthly instead of a yearly contract

2) should i get a treadmill

follow-up to #2) is there a reliable amazing fold up treadmill? (we don't have the space for a standard one)

3) OMG I'M GOING TO GET FAT AGAIN!!!

#3, mind you, is my biggest fear.  Putting on my hibernation weight then needing to start back at square one and just being disappointed in myself.

My plan?  I know you're asking if I even have a point to this babbling.  I do, so hang in there with me.  My plan is to already KNOW I will keep the weight off, and that when the time comes I will have a plan.  My Mom always says I need to live in the moment and stop planning my life.  I do, it is just hard!

I guess I need to research running in the cold weather.  What do I wear?  Do I wear my same shoes or are there special running snow boots I don't know about.

Any advice out there?  Anything you'd recommend?  I do hope someone is reading this and that we can all help each other.  I also hope maybe there is someone that wonders "What's next" and maybe I can inspire them.  Either way, I will be hitting my 4 month anniversary to the start of my healthy new life and I will have a thorough evaluation on my life as well as the numbers.  That always keeps ya motivated right!?

Thanks for stopping by!  Tell your friends and don't forget to follow me if you have a blogger account!!  I am also on Google+!
