Things in my life have not been great lately...but thankfully, I haven't let that affect my decisions when it comes to diet and exercise. And while there is always that temptation to just veg out on junk food and skip working out when I'm stressed or upset, I've just kept sight of the fact that it won't make things any better, and it will actually just make me feel worse in the long run.
The weekend felt long, at least in terms of working out. I felt like I had a really long break. So that was nice. But it kind of made it harder to get back to running today. Not so much because I didn't want to go (after the day I had at work, I was ready to run out some frustration), but more because my legs felt a little stiff and not prepared for the run. I was going to run 4 miles today, but ended up only running 3 because my legs were feeling pretty rough. They are also still pretty sore from Saturday, so I figured it was ok to do 3 today and 4 tomorrow. Hopefully they'll feel better then.
Diet has continued to be good. Made a delicious dinner tonight of over easy eggs, sliced tomato, and baked parsnip (which takes on a potato-like texture when it's baked long enough). Totally hit the spot!
I already feel like I look a lot better than I did a week or two ago. And someone asked me today if I've lost weight. Score! :) I'm weighing myself on Wednesday, which will be one week since I got really on track. I'm pretty excited because I do feel like I'm already seeing progress. But we'll see!
Till next time!
