so one of the big reasons people keep a running blog is so that they do in fact run. like you know, consistently.
consistent hasn't really been in my vocabulary because of my injury. and i'm using my injury as a scapegoat because i still could have been consistent about going to the gym to do something. instead i consistently did diddly and can feel the poundage adding up. more importantly, i can feel my inertia shifting over to the "eats crap, sits on ass and does no exercise" camp. which is a nice place to visit every once in awhile, but not a nice place to call home.
so since i got the ball rolling with a 5 mile run on saturday, i'm shifting my inertia closer to the "gets her ass running, no matter what it takes" camp. because that camp makes me feel better. and that camp fits into size 4 jeans.
my plan tonight is to do a nice easy workout on the elliptical so i don't go crazy on my newly healed parts. then get up the next morning and do an easy run. which i plan to be the first of a whole new slew of morning workouts. falling off the am workout wagon is easy. but getting back on? oof! oh so hard. but doing the pm workouts, even harder.
so as blogger as my witness, this chick is going to the gym tonight. i might even have the courage to get on the scale and check out the damage.

I assure you, MPA, that a step on that scale will have your arse back in the gym on a CONSISTENT basis. It's what did it for me. Not sure how old you are, but if you're over 30, those extra few pounds that can creep on when our workouts fall off due to injury or plain laziness become harder and harder to shed, so keep that in mind whenever the couch beckons. I think you'll be amazed at how quickly you get back into the groove.
We all get lazy/busy/drunk from time to time and need a fitness break. You'll return to it though -- you can't stay away.
