Tuesday, Nov 20 2007 - good run
View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day
Woo Hoo!! I ran two miles yesterday without stopping. I am so proud of that. And I didn't feel too bad. We are working our way up to a 5K!! I think I worked out some of that anger and that may have been one reason I was able to keep going! My friend and I talk (sometimes with difficulty) as we run and I was telling her all my marriage worries.
Thank you for all your comments and input. I think I am just going to get up early on the weekends to workout from now on.
Hubby and I did talk last night after I got home from my run. He told me some things he's been mad about and we discussed those issues and I brought up some of my concerns. But I don't feel like anything is really resolved. But I'm glad we had a chance to talk.
Food has been much better today and yesterday. But my family is coming here tomorrow and I'm ashamed to have them see how much weight I've gained. They know I've been struggling, but I'm still embarassed. I feel very bad about my body right now. But when I do, I am trying to tell myself that I'm taking care of me, I'm doing something about it and that's what's important. Focus on eating healthy and getting in that exercise since that is what I can control. Let go of the rest right now.

That's right. You know what is important. I hope you and your hubby can come to an understanding about things that you can both live with. That's tough. I understand.

:love: you. They may not even notice.

That's it ... RUN away that anger! Go for a run on Thanksgiving morning. Your family will be there, so you should be able to leave the boys for a while. Have a happy, happy turkey day.
:heart2: you much!!!

HOW much better do you feel taking your issues out in a run than in a bowl of something?
:love: Keep THAT feeling in mind - the success of the 2 miles - rather than dwelling on ridiculous shame that you should not feel. You ARE taking care of you now. Do what's in your control.
