Ol'Faithful...

well, old faithful in the means that where I went to move my body was the place that I frequented daily for over a year after work to go hiking.

It is a shorter hike but definitely intense, especially getting back out on a daily basis again.

Since starting this a few days ago - making sure to get out every day, my poor legs are just trying to rebell a bit, not so bad that I will stop but they are a bit tired :) YAY!

I didn't take a pack yesterday because it was more about getting in and getting it done as quickly as possible, and to take the hardest route the park has to offer. And I did it. :)

I knew I would but I wanted to do it fast, so yes I ended up jogging about 1/3 to 1/2 of it. Okay, I cannot jog up hill so that is why only a portion of the trails were jogged. :) Plus my falling off the carb cart didn't help it. Energy wise it was great but tummy wise it SUCKED!

But I managed to push through it regardless of my tummy and the cooler air trying to suck my breathe from me.

So the last couple of days I am back on track with my foods, and of course now that I am moving every day again....I can feel a difference starting again...thank goodness!!!!

Now to keep focused, focused, focused on the goal...Mt Rainier and me. :)

Two mountains to conquer.

I have to say the psychological portion of this mountain conquering is the toughest. I find myself sabotaging myself in my head, even though I am forcing my body. I have to get the two together on a more consistent basis again.

How does one find this consistency of head and heart and drive? By, just doing it? The Fake It Till You Make It theory...maybe, for now that is where I am at I guess. :)

I'll make it...even if I am faking it at moments. ;)
