Counting down to my first half! The excitement and anxiety is building! Have I trained enough? Am I really ready? I know I can run the distance, but can I handle the hills? You know the not knowing...I am struggling this week with not being able to train hard and it is making it really hard to keep my nutrition clean...
I am one of those people if I workout, I eat good, but if I am not working out I tend to eat not so good. Today I decided to have a diet coke...my weakness I am afraid! That diet coke led to cheeze its....hey better than chips and cookies...my other temptation today! I had chosen not to workout today because of allergies bothering me and some cramps in my legs...thought I would relax today and then run easy in the morning and light weights in the afternoon....still plan to do that tomorrow....
What I learned from today...stay a way from the diet coke! It is addictive and leads to more cravings than it is worth! I have had the occasional diet soda through this, but always away from home and as part of a meal, not as a snack sitting at home. I am not going to beat myself up about what has been, I will choose to start fresh in the morning and move forward.
I think for my sanity I need to figure out a way to allow for a regular treat in my eating plan so I don't feel so tempted on days like this when I have too much down time...maybe a special treat once a week...something to think about...
Anyway...not been a good day training wise or eating wise...was a day of resting, which I guess is good given my half is in four days...but tomorrow is a new day and I will be back on track across the board with my plan.
