Today I woke up with a migraine. Ugh… Not a good way to start off the day. The hubby took little William to school for me. Thanks babe.

I will be working out shortly  today. I realized that I am afraid. I know we all have something that detours us or something that makes us afraid when it comes to working out. You know that something that could derail you for a day or 2 or even weeks.

Mine is a combination of my Type 1 diabetes and working out. I am afraid of the pain that could be associated with working out hard. But also and more prominent  I am afraid of my blood sugars dropping during a workout. This has always been a concern in the back of my mind. So the question comes to bear….. Am I really afraid or is it an excuse? hmmmm I think actually it may be a little bit of both.

Day 2 of going to the gym in the new year.

It felt really good. Yesterday I got 4 miles in on the elliptical. Today I got 7.2 miles. Yep stepping it up a little already. I am soooo sore. My legs are feeling the burn. But that is ok. A little burn never killed anyone.

I always do a little weights. Today and yesterday I did about 15min of weights.

I am always amazed how good I feel when I am there and how good it really sets the tone and the day when that is the first thing I do.

Right now I am struggling with not having anyone to weight train with. I don’t mind doing cardio/running or elliptical on my own. But when it comes to training. It just seems like I would push myself more if I had someone there to work with and to encourage each other. Maybe one day!!

But I will push on. It will not bring me down or push me to stop.

That is it for today….. See you all tomorrow at the gym.
