I don’t wanna…
Let me just say, in the past 7 days:
- I did not work out once
- I ate desserts every evening
- I had pizza, ice cream, burgers, fast food all week long
- I drank soda every day
- gained 2 pounds
I had a terrible week. I had grand plans on starting my new healthier lifestyle this week. But out of sheer frustration, I did everything I knew not to do. Keep in mind – I don’t normally do numbers 2-4 so I really was on a binge! And I knew exactly where this was going to lead, but I didn’t care, I did it anyway! So there! Now reality has set in again. My achy joints letting me know that they need some attention, my wedding bands getting a little tight, my jello jiggler tummy is now hanging over my belt, my face is breaking out and insomnia kicked back in.
Was it worth it? I needed to get it out of my system – like a rebellious teenager. I know what is best for me but still holding a little bit of resentment toward the fact that I shouldn’t have to be so strict with myself, if I don’t want to!
But with that said, I did do my Saturday run. But since I was staying at a hotel, instead of running an outdoor loop in an unfamiliar location, I ran on the treadmill. I decided to slow my time down and just see how long I could run. I ran 5 mph (12 minute miles), so a slower run than I have been doing. I was just hoping for 3 miles considering what havoc I did to my body this week.
I surprised myself. I ran 4 miles pretty easily. My knees starting aching pretty badly at about the 3.5 mile mark but I pushed them to 4. But overall I felt great with this run.
Let’s see if I can regain my composure this week and get back on the wagon! Wish me luck!
I do the same thing right before I start a “program”. I’m in that stage right now, as a matter of fact! It’s like I try to make my body completely sick of all the junk, so it’s easier to stay away from it.
I want a treadmill! I think it would do wonders for my procrastination- as in: stop it!
I forgot to say “GOOD LUCK!”
I think you’ll do just fine though
