Body: 1 Mind: 0

I love how I think I'm smarter than my body. In my head, I say "oh I'll be fine." At first, I always am. Then after a few minutes, body says "hey...I'm in charge here."

This week has been awesome on the exercise front.
   Monday, I walked/ran/wii fit.
   Tuesday, I walked/ran.
   Wednesday, I walked/ran/zumba'ed.
   Thursday, I walked/swam.
   Today, I walked/ran and still have an afternoon adventure to go!

I was tired Monday. I was a little tired Tuesday. Wednesday, I was so pumped I couldn't imagine being tired. After swimming, I was more cold than anything but I didn't feel tired until 9pm. I'm tired right now at 6:17am on Friday.

The difference between my last morning walk and today's morning walk was simple....I didn't physically prepare myself. After swimming last night, I had at least 600 that I needed to eat but I didn't feel like eating. I also didn't rehydrate my body. I thought "I'll walk and weigh in tomorrow and then drink some water."

What a fool I am sometimes. About 3 minutes into the walk, I started to do my normal 1/4 mile jog. I couldn't seem to get focused. I made it the 1/4 mile but barely. When I started walking down the hill, I thought it would be easier to just roll down it. I wanted to double over to breathe. I approached the other 1/4 mile area I normally jog and almost couldn't even start. I had to stop jogging when I thought I was about to get dizzy. I didn't think I would make it back to the house. I thought I was going to have to go wake up a neighbor to call SkinnyHusband.

I did made it back safely and slowly somehow and I did go and weigh in but now I don't think it was worth it. In fact, I know it wasn't.

We all do stupid things sometimes...I'm incredibly smart especially with nutrition. I know how the body works. I know how important water and calories are when you're trying to get healthy. But I was willing to look beyond what I needed to do and do what I wanted to do.

I've learned my lesson though! This weekend, I want to make sure I'm well hydrated and nourished I am for the next workout. I don't want to do this thing the wrong way.

Have a healthy and nutritious Friday!
