It's time to get back. Running was not possible due to the cold that I had but it really is time to get my ass in gear again. I had stayed steady at 164 pounds until late in the week when we decided to go on an overnight trip to the US for grocery shopping. I let all my cautions go out the window for two days and I did do some damage. Five pounds! How do you gain five pounds in two days?!? You do that by eating a lot of (bad) food! Day two (yesterday) was topped off by eating a lot more "bad" food at almost midnight so it probably wasn't a good idea to weigh myself this morning.
I will tell you this. . .eating that much "bad" food also leads to not feeling very well. It's not like I ever eat "clean" but most of the time I am aware of what I am eating and limit the "bad" stuff. I'm paying for my indiscretions with a headache and nausea.
I will return to running either this evening, or tomorrow, depending on how I feel. I will aim for 30 minutes because I don't want to be set back too far. If I don't feel well, I won't make 30, and I want to try my hardest to get there.
Running outside may soon be a possibility. The thought of it brings on anxiety though. I'm not sure why, other than a lot of things make me anxious. I guess because I have to figure out the best place to go and run. I'd like to run in the industrial area near my neighbourhood as there is not much traffic. There are no sidewalks though and it's quite deserted in the evenings so then I worry about safety. See, anxiety!
