We Have A Plan...

It’s been a few days.  There have been lots going on.  I’ve been tired and not feeling so great.  I know the heat is playing it to that as well as a few other things.  Whatever the factors are, I need to push through, get some good sleep, eat better and workout harder.

I received my running plan for the half marathon.  While Brent was reviewing it I could just feel my facial expression changing.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, it didn’t sound unreasonable, but all of a sudden the reality of having to do some serious training for this hit me like a ton of bricks.

Each week, for the next 20 weeks, I have to do 2 runs in addition to my regular workouts…sounds easy enough.  One of the runs for this week is a 5K.  How lucky am I that there just so happens to be one Thursday night and a few of my favorite ladies will be running it.  Needless to say I registered for that run this evening.  I’m not sure how I will do since it is at the end of the day and I will have already worked out.  But this will be more of a test of will for me…I will simply have to push myself through the fatigue and heat.  It should be lots of fun though…I’m looking forward to it J

I am beyond exhausted today; I cannot stop yawning.  I had my hair done and fell asleep at one point.  Brent asked how my eating has been and if I’ve been eating enough.  I’m pretty sure not eating enough is my problem right now.  I’m working on staying on track with eat fresh meats and veggies but I’m also watching my portion sizes.  We think I’m watching them too much. 

Here’s the big question of the day for myself “Why am I eating all I can when I am on these crazy binges to fuel my emotions, but when I’m aware of what I’m eating and planning, why am I not eating enough to fuel my body?

My eating went well today, I drank more water but fell shy of a gallon, and I struggled with my workout today.  Hopefully with eating better today and a good night’s sleep my workouts will be up to par tomorrow.  Today I started a food log to review with Brent. I need to be consistent with my eating, that is such a battle for me especially during a stressful time.
