Food today was not great. I ate too much, but stuck to the 2 meal plan. I did the above strength training workout which left my arms feeling shaky…a good sign that I have been slacking too much. The plan tomorrow is to leave work early and go run. Tomorrow is the only half way warm day…in the low 40’s…so I have to do it tomorrow or not get it in. The temperatures are gonna fall frigidly low after tomorrowwith snow coming, and you can’t run when it is icy. :(
I need to get more dedicated to my running. This sporadic, a couple times a week stuff is not cutting it. Especially since I want to compete and one day perhaps be competitive…meaning that I will be able to run 3 miles in about 20 mins. It will take me years to get there. I will never get there if I don’t get serious about it.
I also need to get serious about my diet. I wanna lose this weight. It is time to get serious about it. I really want to be thinner and healthier. Ican’t do that weighing in at over 208 pounds. Yuck! i hate the way i feel at this weight. I feel fat, and gross. It is amazing the difference that 7 pounds can make. At 201 I felt positively skinny. Now 8 pounds heavier I want to look at myself in the mirror and call myself names. “Fatty-fatty-goobalatty!” Not very positive…or helpful.
I know I deserve better. I know what I want so why can’t I stop myself from sticking crap in my mouth? I have to do better.

Don’t worry too much about wha happened. Just tell yourself you will do the right thing next time. Maybe you can imagine what your heroine would have done in a similar situation and do that.
Once you run/exercise for a few days at a stretch, you will feel much better.
My best thoughts are with you.
Lots of love,

It’s funny how just a few pound weight gain can cause us to totally beat ourselves up over it. I’ve experienced the same thing. But ultimately, 5 or so pounds isn’t THAT hard to lose- you’ve done it before, you can do it again.
