Back On Track.. Let's Hope!

Day 252: Run 78

It's been 8 weeks since I posted. I'm sorry. I kinda went insane with trying to finish my last quarter of coursework before student teaching.
Not only did I lose control of my eating, but I lost control of my running too. I seriously lost it. After homework was done, it was the decision between 3 hours of sleep and running or 4 hours of sleep and not running. I took the extra hour of sleep.

I have a firm understanding of what it means to be my own worst enemy. I fight myself everyday and then I go to bed beat up and wore out, but I'm getting better. I know I have a ton of cheerleaders out there, but it's hard trying to be my own cheerleader. In reality when it comes to weight loss, you can thank people who have motivated you, but you are the only one there at 5:30 in the morning making the decision.

OK enough serious talk.. let's move on.

Alright well I'm still fighting the plateau and my recent eating habits did not help. I gained weight and lost my 30lb mark, but I'm almost back to.

I started student teaching this past Tuesday and thought I was going to be able to go running after school everyday... WRONG. I came home and made dinner. 23 kindergartners are unbelievably exhausting.

I also started a multi-vitamin. Never tried one before so I am hoping to see results but I have heard that the results are usually unnoticeable which is sad.
Any thoughts on multi-vitamins?
  • Motivation:  Get back on track!

  • Listening to:  Volbeat, Shinedown, Red Hot Chili Peppers 

  • Thankful for: The beautiful weather!

Today's run was tough. Not only have I not ran for 3 weeks but I also have a productive cough going on right now. My first mile was fairly fast, I thought for sure it was going to be slow (10:58). The other two were normal (about 12:30).
