Week 3 Day 2 and 3

Wow, I just realized I have not written in awhile! Its probably a good thing, because I did a lot of eating and not a lot of running due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I ran early Thursday morning, but really struggled again. I'm not really sure why, though I had not eaten before running, so it might have had something to do with it. Still, I made it through that day.

Saturday and Sunday were complete disasters. Saturday was extremely windy and I was still recovering from staying up all night Thursday into Friday. I decided to run on Sunday, which wasn't a problem, except I ate pizza and THEN tried to run. It did not work, because as soon as I started running my stomach started feeling queezy. I made it only about a mile and a half before I just had to stop. So - the moral of the story is - DO NOT EAT PIZZA AND THEN TRY TO RUN. I don't know what it was about that food, but it definately did not agree with my exercise plans!

I am back on track now and am planning on redoing last week this week. This means I will do my 30 minute runs on Tuesday and Thursday, and a 5 mile run on either Saturday or Sunday. This week I will also be doing Zumba today and Wednesday, since I have a couple classes to make up. Thats just as well because I'm sure I gained at least a couple pounds over the holiday!

WEIGHT LOSS TIP: Don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon - what's important is that you get back on the wagon and start again. As you can see just from today's post, I fall off the wagon occasionally - but what makes all the difference for me is being able to start over again and get back to healthy eating and exercising.
