Well I haven't been to the gym since last week. Thursday and Friday morning my whole body hurt so I took some time off. Saturday I went for a run with two ladies I've never run with before - they pushed me hard and I ran the entire time without a walk break. We did two trail sections too, and I'm pretty sure the jarring of the double jogger when we hit those bumps is what's causing my forearm/wrist pain these past two days. It seems like the past 4-5 days my entire body has just been revolting against me and so sore. I wasn't this sore when doing the beachbody 90 day programs, so I don't know what's going on...then I looked at my mileage for the past few weeks. Last week I clocked in at 19.2 miles!! When I was doing the Get to the Shore challenge I was averaging 8 miles/week. I more then doubled my mileage in one week - no wonder my body hurts!! The whole point of going to the gym was to run without the jogger - not run at the gym and then walk/run in the evenings with the jogger. No wonder my body hurts!!!
I plan on going to the gym tomorrow. I need to keep reminding myself that Chris will be home soon and that running on the treadmill without the jogger will keep my body fit and from breaking. No need to do multiple workouts in one day.
My birthday was yesterday!! And I have not been very good the past 3 days with food. I started off with no birthday plans and then ended up with almost 4 days worth of fun things! It was a great weekend. I over-indulged a few times, but nothing real crazy. I still tracked every day but yesterday (I just never got around to it). I told myself that just because it's my birthday it's no reason to go crazy and that I was going to log what I ate. I really wasn't terrible except for one meal on Saturday night - we went to Red Robin and my meal was as many calories as I'm allowed in a day! Sunday was weird because my Sister and I were traveling and I just wasn't prepared - made a lot of poor choices. I did good yesterday except I ordered chinese for dinner and Barb took me to Rita's for a treat. It's back on track today!
I would REALLY like to make my goal for October to not eat out once. Knowing me this is going to be pretty impossible. Chris is **fingers crossed** coming home in early November so I'd like to not eat out until he comes home. I'm going to try it in baby steps. My first mini-goal - to go all week without ordering out. Saturday I'm going to the Apple Harvest Festival. I want to make it the 4 days, and then on Saturday I want to be good...make right choices. It'll have to be one day, one week, one weekend at a time.
