This is the time of year that I ALWAYS fall off the bandwagon. Life, in August, gets so hectic with preschool starting, back to school shopping at our store, new lines coming in, believe it or not holiday shopping is beginning - it is just a very busy, busy time. I will not and can not let myself crash NOW or anytime in the future. I totally owe it to myself to stick with healthy eating and exercising. The last three weeks have been the worst for me in terms of NOT being prepared with my food, not drinking enough water, not writing in my journal, not blogging enough, not eating my snacks - some days I don't eat enough to even lose weight and some days I eat more - I'm feeling very screwed up. So, I have to fight through this tough time - FOR ME!!! This past Saturday I ran 14 miles. Getting up to 12 miles was the easiest it's ever been, however, the last 2 miles were sooo hard. I walked more than ran. Tonight, since it rained this morning, and Thursday I will run 6.5 miles and this weekend I will do 15 miles. Of course, cross training on the opposite days and will do a "hard core" workout with Tonya. So, I will be leaving work soon, running and then grilling my meat and veggies for the week. It's all about being prepared. The biggest change for me is that I'm recognizing, on my own, that I was going in the wrong direction and I instantly put myself going back the right direction. It happens! We are all human and not perfect. We just have to remember when life gets hectic to still think of ourself - I'm a much better wife, mother and person because of it!
