I want to write about my race. But my legs feel like they’ve been beaten up and I just feel like lying down the whole day. My brain’s not cooperating and I don’t think I’ll be able to write about my experience as well as I want to.
So allow me to ramble for a bit in an attempt to clear my thoughts and slow down the erratic activity in my head.
Right now, I just feel like taking a break. I took a day off so I can sleep in, rest and get away from the noisy North Pole which is what our office has been like lately.
I tried doing yoga thinking it would help relax me or make me feel better but I backed off because my knees were begging me not to.
The kids and I had a little bedroom picnic awhile ago eating chips and choco biscuits. I know I resolved to eat healthier and I’m still trying. Sometimes there’s this voice telling me, it’s okay you can run and burn all that off anyway. But it’s like taking two steps forward and one step back.
If I could, I want to run everyday so I can speed up my weight loss and my running time too. But as it turns out, my knees can only take so much running in a week.
I’ve stopped measuring myself in the meantime because I might get frustrated when the number doesn’t budge. I’m guessing you can lose a lot of water weight in the first few runs and then just a few centimeters here and there after that. Not too good for someone who wants to see fast results (who doesnt’t?)
That’s the main difference between taking shortcuts and doing the real thing. One of the side effects of diet pills, for example, is you lose the weight fast which gives you instant gratification. But once you stop taking it, you gain back the weight fast too.
When you work out, you lose weight slowly but (I assume) surely. So far, I’ve kept off the inches I’ve lost the past week. I just need to be more patient as I work my way to my goal size.
At least I can tell myself that I’m making progress with one of my life goals for this year. As for the others, well, I have a little over six months to make them happen.
Two more weeks to go and we’ve finally finished half of the year. Really makes me think if I’m going at the right pace. But I’ll ponder on that another day.
