Today

Nov 05, 2013

I am not sure I am in much better shape than I was in my last desperate post of "Yesterday"

 I am still binging on snack sized chocolates to the point of sugar crashes. Yet I eat more.  I weighed in at 180 today - a gain of around 8lbs.  I had a great 5k on 11/2 at the Pumpkin Run, but was still only my 3rd fastest time and my "arch rival" beat me by TWENTY seconds. Grrrr. 

Half marathon in less than 2 weeks and I have had one long run since August.  The rowing machine is working my cardio, but I need to get my feet pounding some. I think I am going to go to the gym and do the rower on my own or run tomorrow. I train on Thursday but there is no class I want to go to , so maybe I will do some treadmill or rower work then as well.  Friday I will go to Spinnerval, Saturday I have a 5k and then hopefully will get a run in at some point.  I have to do better, workout more, like I used to do.

On another workout note... saw the ortho doc today and I have to have an MRI with contrast on my shoulder to check for "weight lifter's shoulder".  Hmmm   :/

I have done better about vitamins, but I still suck at getting my water in.  If I would hydrate enough I probably do a better job of resisting eating garbage.  I need a reset.

Trying to get my spiritual life back on track as well, and involve God in the maintenance process.  I know the decisions and actions still belong to me and are my responsible / consequences, but I sure would like to have faith to know He is helping and encouraging.   We'll see.

Ugh.    I wish I knew how to just start over.
