Started my day off with a surprise run! I was planning on just going on a walk today but I got the itch a few minutes in. I may have forgotten my sports bra but I had plenty of fighting spirit.

I decide to try for 5 minute intervals but ended up able to go 20 minutes without stopping. I was shocked, but I think the mild morning temps made it possible. I also did zombie chases for the first time ever on Zombies, Run! and they completely kicked my ass. After the second sprint I started my walk home. I was so out of breath and had my hand on my heart and a dude driving by slowed down to ask if I needed an ambulance. Have you ever run so hard onlookers thought you were having a heart attack? Is there a gold medal for 'tried so hard it alarmed the public'? Can't tell if this is a hilarious anecdote or if it's a sign that I need more cardio or I will die?

Anyway I'm home now, a run in the bag, and with the help of my inhaler I'm in no immediate physical distress. Hope your workouts were slightly less concerning to passersby!

My scale is a little funny - it read 3 different weights ranging 3lbs so I took the heaviest of them. This makes me wonder a bit if my initial weight was right but I’ll keep taking the highest weight for consistency and work on finding a different surface that may be better? I tried different level surfaces and I’m wondering if it’s my scale itself, we’ll see next week if I need to think about the possibility of buying a new scale.

I also know that I made some significant changes in lifestyle and nutrition and I’m at the beginning of my journey, so the weight is going to level out soon and numbers aren’t going to be as a dramatic. I’m being very intentional with my mentality of “my why is more important than my weight.” My value is in the work I put in every day to show up whatever what I can and my perseverance, not in how that reflects on the scale. Today we’re celebrating!

Wow, how's that for an active day?

One of those occasional days where I go above and beyond, lol.

It wouldn't be a good idea to do this every day though, haha.
