finishing the week strong

i almost didnt go to the gym today i am so tired, but i settled for 30 minutes and pushed hard. although i think i might have over trained a bit this week because my achilles hurts. i did 30 minutes on the treadmill. i was trying to run hard and fast...as much as i could. my motivation was to convince myself i was strong, but mostly i was just mad at my bank teller crush because he didnt talk to me today. ugg!! prove him how strong i am.

today's success: staying awake, not falling asleep, and going strong 5 days this week.
today's setbacks: ate 2 bags of chips (individual sizes) but now that it is almost time to turn in, i feel a little bad about it. pain in my achilles. i hope it is not lingering bc i have been through that before and it took me weeks to work through it.

  1. I absolutely love how your blog posts are so genuine and real. You seem like a very great person with motivation and struggles just like we all do. I feel like sometimes some people try to broadcast themselves as "everything is perfect" when it comes to online profiling. It makes your blog more easily connected to. I love that you are a runner, which is something that I do not claim but wish I could. Maybe one day I can get my lazy butt in the gym! I am impressed by your layout and appeal of your blog very straight and to the point. Keep up the good work!

  2. I just decided that when I started my blog I wanted to be honest and truthful. It's easy to lie to myself about how eating a bag of chips wasn't that bad, but really, I shouldn't be eating that! I don't really have anyone in my life to keep me accountable, so this is me keeping myself accountable.

    Your body is built to run and built to move. If you want it, and strive for it, you can be a runner. I believe that. I didn't want to run in front of people who would see me jiggling and gasping for breath. Now, when I see people running at the gym, I see someone that I have respect for because they are working hard. They are just starting their journey, or they are seasoned runners who I see running an 8 minute mile, and I envy them.

    I'm definetly far from perfect, although I am very hard on myself and strive to be so.

    Thank you for your input always!
