Here we are, halfway through the week and still going strong. I’ve noticed I may go about a day without posting and then feel the need to jump back on before my decisions start to go awry. Yesterday was a good day. Currently I’m interning at my alma mater and helping with Orientations for incoming freshmen so the days are packed full and tend to be busier than when the orientations aren’t going on. This helps me not sit at think about how hungry I am or when my next meal/snack is. I catch myself doing this a lot when I have idle time just because I love the taste of food and am TRULY addicted. I am definitely one of those boredom eaters.
As for my workouts, I haven’t been going as hard as I was the past week because I could feel myself getting burnt out. Typically, I would do my insanity and then go to the gym and run another 45+ minutes. This was on top of me riding my bike everywhere, walking the dogs, going to play tennis, etc. I was constantly moving and never really “relaxing.” I was beginning to obsess which is unhealthy for me. If I got to the point where I obsessed too much I would fall into a downward spiral and beat myself up too much. So I took a break from the running. I would do my insanity each day along with our dog walking and other activities. Yesterday I was actually craving going on a run which before was not the case. Before, it felt more like a meeting I had to attend even if I was dirt tired. Since I had this craving, I figured why not indulge? So, I went to the gym and ran. Even though it wasn’t my usual long run, I ran a good fast paced 2 miles and then decided to bike. It felt nice to not be upset with myself if I pooped out on those last 15 minutes. I ran faster for a shorter period of time and felt just as good afterwards than any other run.
I also found out that whole foods has an app yesterday and downloaded that to see what it is all about. Although there aren’t any within a hour drive from us I still was excited and hope to find some of the ingredients to make the recipes at our local grocery stores. If not I’ll have to make a stop next time I’m at home!
I’m feeling good and we’re halfway through the week. I am hoping the good vibes continue on and that everyone else has a good Wednesday!!
