What is everyone else looking forward to this weekend? It doesn't have to be healthy share it all ....
This weekend I was looking forward to racing a 10k which I did this morning. We got into the race for $1 and I was going to skip it to recover from the marathon but I felt good enough to run it. I ended up with a new 10k PR shaving almost 2 minutes off last year's time. I also ran up an overpass and train bridge that I had to walk last year!!Happy Weekend

Did 17 laps in 11 minutes this morning.
I think the extra 500 or so daily calories will keep me from throwing in the towel completely and engaging in a cheeto and brownie free for all.
Don't know how I missed this super exciting news!!!! I am SOOOOOO EXCITED for you!!! Would you be be incorporating Tokyo Disneyland into your trip?!
My first class is Wednesday and I'm starting to panic about how little I know. I'm spending the weekend hitting the books! I think being the professor is making me study harder than I ever did as a student.
Unfortunately, I've also been stress eating (to go along with stress breaking out). I am logging everything but I've definitely blown through my calorie allotment yesterday and today. It isn't ideal but I think I'm going to shift MFP from loss to maintenance calories for next week. I have enough discipline to stick to that level but between the impending first class at the front of the room and the events happening in DC next Friday, I'm really a nervous wreck. I think I've burst into tears three times today. My meditation app is trying to keep me together but I'm working on being super gentle with myself for the next few days. Intellectually, I know that food isn't the answer but I'm not totally physically and mentally there yet. I think the extra 500 or so daily calories will keep me from throwing in the towel completely and engaging in a cheeto and brownie free for all.
Well I'm up another pound today but I'm ok with it because I did a little web reading on concussions and it's better to eat right now After resting yesterday (not working or working out anyway) my eye looks much better. Friday night I worked out pretty hard and while on the elliptical I moved my head around too much I think and was feeling kind of dizzy yesterday. I can really--rock out--on the elliptical. so maybe none of that for me the next week or so. Or be careful. Gonna take it easy again today--go peruse Goodwill for clothes for the concerts (Sunday the half off tags change) and we have tickets to see the new starwars finally. Went last night but it was just about sold out so we picked seats for tonight and bought tickets. I'm kind of excited--the theater has new reclining seats lol. Still ridiculously cold here but driving conditions are fine. So percentage wise I guess I'm up about 10 % lol.
Well my weekend is over people. Saturday we went to the movies to escape the heat so hot here right now and more heat coming in on Wednesday apparently - kids saw Middle School and Mum and I saw La La Land - gotta say don't know what all the fuss is about - the highlights for me was seeing the places we had been to in our trip like Warner Bros Backlot and Griffith Observatory.
Managed to run the Star Wars 10K yesterday with ease but got a bad case of food poisoning at around 2am so I didn't make it to the half marathon This has really caused me to feel down about myself and what I am trying to do through the next several months for goals. I recognize that my job is going to be more involved than I was originally told, so now I've gone from one extreme of "nothing to do" and now am "doing everything" at all hours!
I know I shouldn't beat myself up and count this up to a combination of bad food and stress, but it really didn't sit well with me that I wasn't able to do something. I am human after all and there will be things out of my control.
I'm going to try to check in more here - this last week was just tough to do so. I feel just so darn tired all the time because of the hours being worked. I hope it gets easier!
