Tapering! Yay! Hahaha...I'm so lazy. I love tapering. I'm paranoid that I'm going to lose muscle and put on fat in the 2 days I have off though.
And I'm giving myself some time off after the race just to give myself a break between the 10K and the training for the 10 miler.
I really just want to lose this weight already. I wish I had a chef or something that would make every meal for me. Also I wish I didn't have a job so I could work out all day.
But then I wouldn't have any money. Hmm...
My weight has been creeping downward over the last month. Slowly enough that my day to day weigh ins (even week to week) don't really seem that dramatic or noteworthy.
However in the last day or so I've just felt a little bit smaller. My trouble spots don't seem as troublesome anymore. And went I went clothes shopping the other day, the size 10 skirt I picked up was just a smidge too big! (The other one fit perfectly, but still--at least one one was too big. :) )
And then I went to pull on a pair of old jeans yesterday and they were a little loose!
Again, nothing crazy or dramatic, but it's progress nonetheless.
Today I'm lifting weights, tomorrow I've got a run, and Wed I have cross training. And then rest Thursday and Friday, and my 10K on Saturday! I'm really worried about the 10K. I had a 5.5 mile run this Sunday and it was not pretty. It was a little hot out and I added in some hills and stepped up my pace so that was good. But I had to walk about a mile of it and that wasn't good.
I have a feeling the 10K is not going to be fantastic.
Oh well, as they say:
