A Better Day

Today is another day as they say. I'm feeling much less whiny than I was yesterday.

This may be in part because I did C25K Week 4 Day 1 yesterday. It was challenging, but completely doable, and I was able to chat a bit with a friend during one of the running segments. That makes me feel good.

It makes me feel like I can accomplish this 5K thing. If I keep on track, and barring any injuries, I should easily be able to run a local 5K that is scheduled for the end of October.

As far as the weight issue, I've looked back over my eating log. As I said I mostly stayed in my calorie limit. I didn't go over by so much (100 calories at most) that I should have lost so little. But I looked at the type of foods I ate - too many treats, breads, etc.

It has made me realize that for now, I HAVE to stay away from these things, not even in moderation right now. They will not help me succeed. So later today I will sit down and make a no-no list. I feel I can put it off until later, because I am feeling empowered and good today, and I know I will make the right choices until then.

It worries me feeling this way though, because I know while I feel good now, tomorrow may be miserable and may be one of those days where I screw everything up. I can't worry about that right now, right? One small step at a time.
