Today no exercise

I'm a bit disappointed.
When I went to the park there was only a couple of men
running and one had a face which I did not like.
I ran one mile, then I realized that since it was raining I was alone
in the park with that man, because the other one had gone,
so I went to the car and drove home.
Now I still feel I did the right thing, (running people usually have
very peaceful faces) but I'm disappointed for not doing my exercise.

You did the right thing. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation it's
best to leave. He was probably perfectly safe but it's better to be safe
than sorry.

Maybe you can find something to do indoors today.

I knew I had to go.
I was really surprised, because that man seemed simply out of place.
Usually I can only see mothers with kids, old people walking, or
people running in the park.

From Krista's site, maybe.:-)
The fact is that I like to spend calories (I stll have so many stored)
and weight lifting does not spend calories.

I'll agree w/ Beverly - you did the right thing. Better safe then
sorry, they always say. No need to take chances with your life.

I feel angry with that man because he did not let me exercise :-)

How about channel surfing to find an exercise program and doing
something indoors. ?

I'll get something from Krista's site.

But it will build muscles which burn more calories in the long run......get
those weights out !!

Give yourself a break. You did a mile (it counts as exercise). You stopped
your workout because something wasn't right, not because you hit the ice
cream parlor instead. You did the right thing.

Yesterday, I took my dog for a 1 mile walk. That was the sum total of my
exercise for the entire day. I didn't have the energy to do anything but
sleep. It's 10:45 AM and I'm still trying to shake the cobwebs and get
going to the gym :P I'm not thrilled with myself but I'm not going to beat
myself up over it since I probably have good reasons for being this tired
and I know I'll get past it.

Weight lifting does spend calories. Its just not calculated the same
as cardio.

Ya know - during a good weight workout I will get my heart rate up.
You have to take a break between sets to rest and recover.

Its not an aerobic (cardio) workout, its an anabolic workout. And in
the long run it will do so much more for your weight loss efforts than
just cardio will do.

I've even broken out into a serious sweat during some sets.

What annoys me, is that on Sunday there will be a major family
celebration (we are celebrating the birth of a nephew).
I wanted to be in a very good shape.
Of course I am still in a better shape than 3 months ago, but I wanted
other people to notice.

If it's been 3 months, they'll notice

Reality Check....
Cutting a run short 4 days before a family event is NOT going to make
a noticable enough difference to any family members.

If your husband can notice the difference and he sees you every day,
then believe me - your family will notice!


I may be a total bitch but at least I don't hit people. g

Estella, your family will be glad to see you safe rather than weighing an
ounce less if you'd been able to exercise as much as you'd wanted to. If
that man was out to hurt someone, you'd have been a good target. You were
smart to leave. I always make sure my DH knows that I'm out walking at the
park and I carry my cell phone with me too. Of course, it always seems that
there's a off-duty cop jogging the track too when I'm there.
