The imagination exercises a powerful influence over every act of sense, thought, reason,-- over every idea.
Today is my rest day and I am always thankful for rest days. I had a great 4 of July weekend. Tony, my trainer told me that I could have a cheat day and I was so excited but I was having a difficult time trying to figure out what to eat. There wasn't anything I really craved and I finally decided on cheesecake. It was weird, I was disappointed after eating it. I had this apple struedel cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory and it was so sweet. I think I should have just have had a slice of plain NY style cheesecake. I almost did not want to have a cheat day because I took progress pics and and I was happy with my progress (that doesn't happen too often), so I didn't want to ruin my progress, but I figured that 1 slice of cheesecake isn't going to mess me up!
Training:
On Friday I went to the track to run sprints and up the bleachers. The sprints were really tough but I gave it my all, and imagined that I was running for the gold in the Olympics. That stuff really helps me through my workouts. Yesterday, I did intervals on the bike and I imagined that I was riding on the Tour de France. What can I say, I have a pretty good imagination! Running sprints makes me so sore, my calves and quads in particular. I don't like running long distance but I'll do the sprints anyday.
