Yesterday I went on a disasterous run - no fuel and no water = bad run!
So this morning I made sure to take care of both of those and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I had a 1/4th of an Arnold Sandwich Thin with a teaspoon of PB and a little bit of jelly and had a small glass of water and set out to do 3 miles. I can't even believe how good I felt for the majority of the run. I took a different route starting with a gradual hill and then flatness where as my other run had a lot of hills at first and I was worn out quickly then struggled the rest of the run.
I didn't make my best avg pace but it was second best by 2 seconds!! This really set the tone for the rest of my morning and felt so good!
Just got a new book.....
I am not far at all in it but one thing the author did mention is 'are you willing to change something, not everything' and this spoke to me because I always feel like I am changing EVERYTHING and sacrificing so much just to eat better. One of the biggest things for me - the bingeing - if I could not do that it would be half the battle!
My goal is to in the next few days brainstorm about things that I can change. They gave an example of:
No fast food - get a kids meal
So instead of being really strict and saying NO fast food you can have a kids meal which would be less calories and fat.
I like that way of thinking. I need to make changes and this seems do-able for me.
