So...I ran this morning. It felt wonderful. I used to run on a regular basis before working 40+ hours a week in retail, before becoming a mom, before moving across country. I have had a fare share of weight gain which is my own fault but it sucks. Seriously. How did I become this lazy?! Anyhow, I digress.
Dear husband and I just purchased an extremely popular workout craze a few weeks ago. I find it boring but beneficial. (Maybe it's because I try to do the dvd at night and my brain is already shutting down from the daily activities.) I enjoy running. ENJOY. I would rather be out running, and I'm not even that great at it right now. My stamina stinks, but the other day while I was out I finally burst through that difficult phase of running where you're thinking 'I can't possibly go any further' but I did it. And, it felt great.
However, today deflated my bubble. I had to visit the local urgent care again for the same back pain I have been having for a few months now. Apparently I have gained 5lbs?!! What? Before you comment, I know you are probably saying, 'it's only 5lbs.' Yes. It is only 5lbs, but the point of the shock is seriously?! Shouldn't it be a loss?
I began to think about what I have been eating over the past couple of weeks. I have tried to weed out the Mt. Dew. Thankfully, I think I am past that one. I did have a few sodas mostly in the past few days. It's like dropping a cigarrett for a cigar. It's still bad for you. So, I'm back on the wagon! No MORE SODA!
Do you struggle with your diet?
