Yesterday = fiasco
Let’s just say Jack in the Box, Taco Bell and Doritos all made an appearance. And I felt it BIG TIME. I was uncomfortable and had a hard time sleeping last night. My stomach felt distended and I just felt bloated. Even my hand feel fat. I didn’t even weigh in this morning. I’m probably retaining the equivalent of the Great Salt Lake. It’s actually painful. My skin feels stretched tight.
And it hurt my run this morning. OUCH. It was 2.5 miles this morning and I had to walk for about a block half way through just to get myself back together enough to finish. My time sucked ass. It was my worst yet. But I did it anyway. I didn’t roll over and go back to sleep this morning, cause I know that would have been the end of my marathon dreams. I can’t give in this early. So I got up and ran. Because that’s what someone seriously training for a marathon does. And that person = me!
Next time I’m tempted to eat crap, I’ll remember trying to run the next day and how much HARDER it was. It might not work every time, but I’ll know what I’m getting myself into.
Today I’m back ON.
Ran 2.5 miles
Upon waking: protein bar
Breakfast: protein shake
Lunch: planned grilled chicken super awesome salad (already to go in the fridge upstairs)
Snack: string cheese (I’m outta protein bars here at work, damn it!)
Dinner: TBD

Isn’t it weird how we can tell such a difference when we eat junk now? I kinda’ like it though because next time it might deter me from eating it!
Good for you for getting back in gear today!
Greatings, Thank you! I would now go on this blog every day!
Hey, Mom! Sounds like you’re getting ready to roll. I can’t tell you how much I envy your dedication and committment. Me? I’m sitting here eating a fried pork chop, broccoli and new potatoes. I haven’t been much for staying on track lately.
I’m so glad the youngun doesn’t have swine flu. It must have scared you to death. Although, as you say, any flu is scary stuff.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support lately. I know I’ve been wrapped up in my own problems and haven’t been a very good blog buddy recently and I can’t tell you how much it means to me. Especially since you have experience with someone with bi-polar disorder. You, more than anyone, can understand what it’s like to have people think you’re “victimizing” some poor, blameless individual. You, also, can understand how DIL can appear to be something she’s not. Don’t get me wrong. I do feel pity for her but I can’t let that affect the well being of my family.
I still have concerns, however, about her symptoms. If she truly is bi-polar, I don’t understand how she can control her behavior so well when it’s to her benefit to do so. This is something DS’s attorney is checking out. How she could suddenly be “cured”. He’s going to follow up with the doctor who supposedly told her he didn’t need to see her anymore and she didn’t need to take meds anymore.
