Set Backs

When I started loosing weight I was not sure where it was going to take me or if I would stick with it so I did not tell any of my friends or my husband. If I didn't stick with it I didn't want to seem like a failure. Well, people noticed I was loosing weight and after a few months I figured there is a pretty good shot I would stick to it. To make a long story short, a couple of my friends have started trying to loose weight too so they ask for my advice or ask what I do in certain situations.


On the other hand, I have a friend who has always been oober work out girl. Just an FYI - I didn't know that she worked out that much before I started my process and she was asking me about it. We registered for 2 5k races this weekend together and I have been looking forward to it for a couple of weeks. So, last night we met at a local park to run together for the first time. I have been sick for the past couple of days, but not fall out sick. I am congested a bit and I have that feeling that there is something in my throat. We get out there and the weather is beautiful The track circles a gorgeous lake and the wind was blowing. Pretty much everything was perfect. So, we start running. Almost immediately, my throat closes up and my chest tightens! I feel like I did when I smoked! It was awful. I felt horrible. I went around the track once and then sat down for a minute and hocked up my lungs. Then, I set out again and I caught up with my friend, but I could not run for very long at a time.

I hope to God that last night was just because I have not been feeling well. I felt so inferior. I felt like all my hard work didn't mean anything.

We rescheduled to try it again on Thursday. I hope it goes better! We have these races this weekend and I hope they are a total waste because I am sick.

Wish Me Luck!
