This post is kind of all over the place. I apologize in advance.
Wow, I can't believe that January is already over. It went by so fast especially since I spent the first
10 days sick.
Today was pretty craptastic. I received some pretty bad news about a loved one. I'm just waiting for updates. Waiting sucks.
I really needed today's run even if it had to be on the treadmill. I needed to forget about all the bad news that was dumped on me. I am free when I run. My mind is clear. I knew I would feel better if I was able to run.
I also needed yoga. 60 minutes of stretching, breathing and focusing on me. Yoga is the perfect post-run exercise. Although, my body was tired I felt so relaxed during my practice.
Other than having to drop out of the Whole30, I have stuck to my goals. I feel like my running has improved greatly. I no longer have any pain so I am guessing that my stress fracture has fully healed!!
Healthy eating is going well. I still have good and bad days. It all depends on my stress level. Like today, I wanted comfort foods because it was such a rough day. I did indulge on a little bit of chocolate but other than that I made decent choices.
I am hoping that February is a great month. I am slowly reaching my Team in Training goal. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, you can click HERE
How are you doing so far? Still sticking to those goals & resolutions?
So far so good, but man oh man is the winter a world beater! I hate the darkness, the cold and the bi-polar weather. Once we get through February, it is all good!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your news! Praying for whatever it is! Good job in keeping up with all of your challenges and everything'
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to get bad news, sorry to hear about that.
ReplyDeleteJanuary was not at all what I expected. I was sick most of the month and not starting out Feb. too great either. Just trying to get better so I can back into the home gym which I am craving. Was going to try to do some light spinning today but I have been up since the wee hours coughing so not sure if that would be smart.
In the past I would tend to push it and just made things worse. Gotta keep my chin up. You too!
You've done great this past month! Eyes on the prize! :)
