A lot of personal stuff going on right now. I've been feeling kind of overwhelmed and negative about it. Let's be honest; starting Friday night, I ate like shit all weekend. And then today, the truth was apparent, and I had gained 2 pounds! I'm not shocked and I was expecting it. I am disappointed in myself that I always deal with shit like that, but it's done, and the only thing I can do now, is stop eating crap, and work out really hard this week.
I'm dying to get back into running, but my Achilles just has this tweak in it when I run. I never thought I would be sick of something, but I am sick of the stair master machine. It's okay to walk at an incline, but I struggle with the feeling of not being challenged enough. My calves are getting tired of this, and my legs long to run fast. I actually had some speed under my belt. I really want to run a 5k April 2nd. But if this tweak doesn't go away, I won't be able to.
I've been working on homework all night, and it's very late, and I need to go.
Success: More dedicated to getting back on track now that I've stumbled.
Setback: Finishing off the girl scout cookies tonight. But on the bright side, they are all gone, so I can't make that mistake again.
Courtney don't be too hard on yourself. Girl Scout cookies come only once a year - at least in my neck of the woods. Its not like you binge every weekend. Also let your body heal - don't rush it. I applaud your enthusiasm but you also need to take care of your body.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, I have the same love/hate relationship with food. Whenever I'm sad or anxious, I always turn to food for comfort.
ReplyDeleteHowever, each day is a new day and everyone falls off the bandwagon, just get back up, dust yourself off and start all over again.
I had been pigging out all week, so I went and loaded up on the yo plait light yogurts, red velvet cake and white chocolate strawberry, cause I felt bad about pigging out and thought this might help.
Also, I'm with Sharon, you should let your Achilles heal. They'll be other marathons. Just rest and I'm sure you'll be back up and hard running again, in no time! If you don't, you won't :)
Good luck!
