Eh, at least I tracked

Today was better than yesterday.  I resisted snacking on cheese and that's a plus.  I also went on my run this morning and did 2.75 miles.  It was such a relaxing run.  I really enjoyed it and I'm grateful that running almost three miles feels good and light.  What a blessing.

Pushing through


Hey guys.  I haven’t written in awhile and it’s because I’ve been off and doing a little bit of hiding.  The last couple of weeks have been really challenging for me because there have been a lot going on and I’m just a little tired.  Also, there is a bit of a health scare in my family and when that happens, I get paralyzed until I know everything is fine.  So I’m going to blog so I don’t eat my face off with Nutella.  I need to push through with my goals.  It’s hard for me to take care of myself when I get anxious about the future.  I’m really leaning on my faith right now and trusting that God is taking care of everything.  

On a positive note, I reached 8 miles on Sunday even though I sulked for about two hours before I left for my run.  A friend of mine, who is training for the NYC marathon, called me that morning to check on me and my training.  It was so much God driven because she and I hardly talk on the phone and she said I was on her mind.  God really shows up for even the smallest things.  So I went on the run and it was hard.  My feet started to hurt and the last mile my legs felt really heavy.  I think it’s also because my eating has been crappy.  

Today is usually my first run of the week but since I ran 13 miles over the weekend I felt like I needed a couple of days off.  Tomorrow I will go on a run and I will track what I eat.  I will also blog so I can focus on my journey and not obsess about things that are beyond my control.  

No food diary today because I didn’t track and I ate so much that I have food amnesia.
