It's been a difficult 3 months.
It's been an epic FAIL.
But it's over. I've recovered. I need to move on. And move on I shall.
The ankle, the knee and the back are all feeling better. Perhaps not 100% but definitely back on track. I started running again and training for my next half in Kauai, Hawaii!
I've slacked on the diet like a fat kid that loves cupcakes! I've gained weight. It's not pretty being in this body right now. It is especially difficult to run. I hate it. My pace time is crap. My breathing is crap. My knees are crap.
So I am refocusing on making myself better. My diet is never going to be perfect. I don't like fruits and veggies much. But I know what I need to do to lose the weight. I just have to focus and stop letting all the nagging thoughts in my head win. This week I am focusing on writing my food in my journal. Next week I'll worry about what food I am actually putting into my mouth.
I am back to tracking my steps, my workouts and being accountable. I am also making a re-acquaintance with my blog. When I physically and mentally checked out on my weight loss journey, I also checked out on my ability to care about myself. When you don't care you really shouldn't be trying to share with others. So I am happy to be back to sharing my successes and failures.
On the positive side, my training is going well. I ran my first 5.5 miles since March! It felt flipping fantastic! I was pumped at the end.
One day at a time. One step at a time.
Here is the menu for this week:
Sunday: Grilled Pork Chops
Monday: Tortilla Soup (crock)
