Ugh.

I've been really slacking on my workouts lately.  I mean REALLY slacking.  I was inspired to go for a walk last night and my slacking was evident. 
 
It was pretty warm out, but there was a nice breeze blowing.  I didn't go the hilly route, I stuck to the flat areas.  I had a bottle of water with me.  Just reading that back to myself it sounds like I should have had a lovely walk.  Well, I didn't, It was HARD.  I was outside for 27 minutes and from about minute 10 on it was a struggle.  I don't even know how to describe it, other than I felt like my feet weighed 100 pounds each and I had a 200 pound backpack on.  I was struggling along and the only thought in my head was "OMG, I can feel my obesity" 
 
I've always felt a little superior to other fat people because I'm able to be physically active and I didn't have the aches and pains and other problems that fat people have. 
 
I guess the honeymoon is over.

you must keep it up! It gets easier, as you know. Don't forget the pepper spray.

Niki you must train with barbaric intensity. You have done it before. I still have a picture of you from the "throb" days. You came a long way from there. Just do it.
