I honestly wish you guys could see the HUGE grin that is on my face right now. I finally got in touch with Eric. Yeah he has been busy. We had a great conversation. He had been thinking about me; (but not what I was hoping he was thinking about.) Hey, at least he was thinking about me period and it wasnt bad. This is going to work out; I just know it. All my ducks are in a row now. I cant wait to see him next month. I am soooo excited. I really hope he can make the time. I know he does want to do something when the time works out. I think he is starting to see that I have changed my insides. Now that all the crap is gone; my heart can grow even bigger. Kinda like the Grinch after he brought back Xmas.
So I went to the gym a little later than I had planned because I was yapping with Eric until 8. They had the finale of "Grey's Anatomy" on. I was psyched; even though I had downloaded it for free last night on ITunes. Then I noticed they also had on BL. It was REALLY hard not to watch. Luckily I was far enough away from the screen so I couldnt read the subtitles. I did a half hour on the Elliptical Stepper backwards and on level 10. Went 2.39 miles and burned 235 calories. Then I did an hour on the treadmill. I did some walking with incline and some sprints; but my last one is the one that I will remember...When I was still at the women's gym I had a running joke with the manager about how fast I could run. It was my goal to get to 8 mph. When I left that gym I could sprint at 7 mph. (Pretty creepy since I was still way heavy back then.) I recently began really working hard on my sprinting again. Tonight for some reason the number 8 popped into my head again. (When the voices in my head talk; I listen. They are the same ones that told me to walk 12 miles straight.) So I went for it. Then in my last sprint I decided to go for broke...I made
8.5 mph. I thought my legs were going to go out from under me in the last 15 seconds. It felt awesome though!!! I must have hit the speed down button too hard because all of a sudden the treadmill just reset. NOT COOL! I lost all my data before I could write it down. Before I did the 8.5 I was around 3 miles plus. Grrrrrrr.....Total workout time was 1 hour 34 mins, 667 calories burned, 45% fat burn. I am very happy with that.
Time to watch BL....Like I could sleep now!!!
I could gain 10 pounds tomorrow on my weigh in and I could care less. I had a dream and I exceeded it. You can exceed your wildest dreams if you just believe you can....Next goal...9 mph!
