This morning was refreshing. I woke up feeling happy, hungry, and excited to start running again. Usually I don't eat breakfast, its a bad habit of mine that I'm working on correcting, but this morning I was awoken by my stomach growling and two stiff calves. I have to watch random quick leg pulling while I'm in bed, especially since I've started running, because I've become prone to calf cramps. So with the combined noise of my stomach and the tight uncomfortable warnings from my calves I ventured downstairs for some grub. I wanted a big cup of orange juice (orange juice is my weakness, I drink it by the gallons) but instead I decided on some cereal, a fruit cup, and a bottle of water. I think I need more potassium to help with the calf cramps and eyebrow twitching that I've been getting so hopefully this fruit cup has some potassium.

Yesterday I was willing to give up the C25K; today after reading on of my favorite blogs (fat man running-whose authors sadly stopped posting), and after going on the cool running's beginners forum I am excited to continue tomorrow. Which reminds me, I have no muscle pain from yesterday. I get stiffness when I walk up the stairs but there's absolutely no muscle pain! So I'm going to enjoy my breakfast now and continue to imagine myself running in a cute pink and gray outfit on vacation this summer!

-----------------------------------

I had a pretty uneventful day...except the TWO pounds I lost this week!!! Last weekend I restarted the C25K at week 5 because I was 116.8 pounds, today, exactly 6 days later, I am 114.4 pounds and off course I have set a new running record with how long I can run! So it's been an awesome week. When I did the C25K before I never passed week 4 and I didn't loose any weight and I was dieting then, so I didn't expect to loose any now with all the water I had been drinking I was afraid I'd gain water weight! So you can imagine my surprise when I didn't diet, just drank more water and ran and I've lost 2 pounds. I am very excited! This is the perfect inspiration to continue with the program; I'm not hugely religious but maybe this is God's way of telling me to keep up the good work.
