New Issues Emerge

Today was a rest day, but I certainly spent a good portion of the day trying to figure out what I'm going to do about tomorrow. I heard on the radio this morning that tomorrow will be very rainy and windy, which interrupts my plans to run tomorrow. I have two options: I could go to the gym and run on the treamill, or I could hold off another day and try to run at some point on Sunday. Either option isn't all that great to me. It has shown me, however, the type of challenge I will probably see over and over. It's also probably the reason so many people start off with good intentions in exercising, but soon fall back to old ways. I remember when something would happen to my exercise schedule and my reaction would be "oh well, I guess I just won't exercise".
I have come far enough now to know that when I am faced with a challenge, I need to figure out a way to make my running happen, no matter what. It may be more inconvenient for me, but I know I need to keep to my training program or it won't work. Feel free to comment on the types of things you go through on your weight loss or training journey. I would love to hear what you struggle with and how you push through it.

WEIGHT LOSS TIP: Eat using a salad plate, rather than a dinner plate. I swear this one works. If I use a salad plate, I put less on my plate AND my plate looks more full. It's all a visual trick where you trick your mind into thinking you're eating more than you actually are.
