Do you ever have one of those days that you suprize yourself and could walk/jog/run forever? You just keep going and feel better and better....

Well, today was not one of those days for me:ohwell: . LOL... It's ok though, I am still pround of myself, I pushed thru being tried, out of breath, and did what I could. I'd walk a bit, then jog until I couldn't anymore. I'd push myself to run to the next corner or tree or whatever. It sucked, but I did it and I am glad I did.

I know we shouldn't reward ourselves with food, but I'll tell you tonight while I am drinking a light beer, I am going to enjoy it that much more because I really earned it today!:drinker:

    I believe that if we stay within our calorie limits its nice to have something special or even "wicked" now and again. I had a 400 chili dog at dairy queen one saturday and it was a little bit of heaven!!

    Congrats for keeping up your jogging and going the distance!!
    :drinker: here's to you! :happy:

    I had a day like that once, I think it was sometime in June 1994. :cry:

    I don't think it would hurt to have a beer, but I think you should change your mind set from saying "I earned it today" because you did work and push yourself so hard you should reward yourself with a non-food item, then you can disassossiate food with being rewarding all the time. Try I worked my butt off today so I earned myself a pedicure, manicure or massage. I know it's hard to change that mind set I mean I do it to myself with Dairy Queen or chocolate and I always reward my kids with food too and I think that's how it all starts...

    Have a great day and Bravo for working out!

    Only when I am at the beach walking along the shore hearing only the sounds of the waves. No sound of the hubby or the kids, not even the dogs. I could walk forever:bigsmile:

    Nope. Every step is difficult and painful. I did have one day a few weeks ago where it hurt a little less but today was especially hard.
