After the 20-miler on Sunday, I ran 5 miles on Tuesday. My legs were REALLY sore Tuesday evening and I decided to delay the 8-miler until Thursday morning. My legs are still a little sore, but I will just have to run through it tomorrow. It's a mental thing now and I will not let my mind tell me that I need more rest. I have come to close to stop now.
I generally try to eat every 2-3 hours but today I let 5 hours pass between lunch and my afternoon meal. That was a big mistake. At 5 o'clock when I got home I made a great salad of organic mixed greens, mandarin oranges, red onions, baked chicken breast, toasted walnuts and lite raspberry/walnut dressing. It was a perfect meal. However I was so hungry that I then had some chips and guacamole (I did measure both). Then I had two Weight Watchers Almond bars. A couple hours later I ate some pistachios then some pita chips with American cheese food. YIKES! When I wait too long to eat, I sometimes lose my mind and start binging. I really have to try to avoid this in the future.
Sigh...it's a lifelong process, Folks.
I imagine it isn't easy! Don't beat yourself up or give up. You have detoured every now and then; but you still have determination and you're not eating bad foods. So forgive yourself and get back on course. I believe in you and Tyler does too! I'm sitting with him while Mommy is at Dr.s office. He's smiling so he's in agreement with me. Go Auntie, Go Auntie, Go!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO SWEET! I can hardly wait to see little Tyler. Thank you for your continued support, Ma. I love you!
