Lets try expanding again, tumbler wasn't my jam so I am going to give Blogging a try. I will tell you know Punctuation is not my strong suit, I'll try but no promises. I love the chubby firefighter, it gives me an outlet to talk about the struggles that is changing your entire lifestyle. I love that I have people who are genuinely interested in listening to what I have to say.
Thoughts from a 24 hour fire shift.
I have a plan, a training schedule, a way things are supposed to go every week. When I start to veer things like to go super wrong. Wednesdays are long run days, it supposed to be the same every week. This week I have a virtual 10k to run. I decided to try to change that because its icy and I wanted to run outside with Dante. I had a plan all set, we would wait till Thursday and go to the park in Jackson. Of course the world decided to step in on that LOL. When we got there I quickly found out that there was more ice on the paths there then on the roads I normally run. Since I am not about breaking my knee, I figured that the treadmill was my best bet. I had to do it at work since I had my 24 hour fire shift for this week. So on to my Run, I was making great time 3.6 miles in with plenty of stamina, Cue the tones for a call. You can Imagine my frustration. I ended up finishing my run but deciding to run the virtual run next week. I even increased my miles for my half marathon training. let me tell you 7 miles on a treadmill is not a good time LOL. I woke up this morning sore to say the least, when I woke up a couple of guys from my department were at the station and wanted to work out. So even though I was tried I joined in, a little fire gear "crossfit type" work out, I went two rounds then ran a mile on the treadmill.
This is where my contemplation comes into play. Thomas and I were talking about a night at the start of my lifestyle change, one where I was at the station making excuses about how I couldn't walk on the treadmill because I forgot my shoes. Thomas told me to get off my butt and get out there, and I did and walked for an hour on the treadmill barefoot. Fast forward to today where even though I was sore I still got out there and did a hard workout and pushed myself. If I would have known at the start of this journey how much I would change I would not have believed it. I didn't just lose 90 lbs, my whole outlook has changed. I feel like a more complete person than I did then. Thank you to the people following my journey. I will try to keep this up as much as Facebook. If you have ideas of things I can do on here be sure to share.
