W1D3 & W2D1

So, I finished week 1 strong!  YAY!  It felt good to be back out there running, or wogging, as a friend once put it.  And moved straight on to week 2.  I didn't take a rest day between my wog on Sunday and my wog on Monday.  Big mistake... not sure if I was just tired, so my form was off, or my allergies were kicked up, or what.  But Monday hurt.  So I took Tuesday off.  I also haven't run yet today, and it is Wednesday.  YIKES!  I am going to either hit the treadmill (dreadmill) once the kiddos are asleep, or try to go on my lunch break.  Not sure.

But I do enjoy being outside.  The weather has turned here, for the moment.  And it is cooler in the mornings, which is SUPER nice.

Anyway, on to my trek towards good health.  I am trying this 3-day jump start diet and it is not easy.  It's not easy, because I have very little self control.  We have chocolate, and cookies and all sorts of good bad-for-me foods in the house.  It is taking everything I have to not rip into those.  But day one down... day 2 has been started... and only today and tomorrow left.  Then back to lean meats, lots of fruits and veggies, and attempting to become a clean eater. 

Also in the process, I have decided that I need to go back onto the Bios Life Slim.  I was using it and saw great results when I was using it.  But then I got pregnant, and never discussed it with my OB/GYN.  She was already worried that I had an eating disorder, because around December or so, I lost 5 lbs in one month.  I wasn't trying and trust me when I say, I wasn't eating the way I should have been.  McDonald's 2 times a week, and a full meal, breakfast at Starbucks, with caffeine-free or decaf drinks... you name it, it went into my mouth!  But back to the eating disorder thing... No, I didn't have one, never have and never will.  I've watched too many people too close to me struggle with one.  Plus, it takes too much effort.  I like to eat too much, and hate to throw up.  So there you have it in a nutshell.

Seriously, eating disorders are not to be taken lightly.  I have watched my cousin, my sister and my sister's best friend, who is like my sister, all struggle with them.  All three of them were either anorexic, bulimic or both.  Yup, both.  And it was tough to watch them.  I think my sister did finally get help, but I know that my sister's best friend never did.  My cousin was in and out of centers for hers.  But I haven't seen her in many years.  (It's a long complicated family drama, not meant for the internet.)

Anyway, I will post my results on my trek to not only running this 5K, but towards good health and beyond.  So stick with me!
