Is the end nearing?

I have officially been out of training for 4 weeks today. I have lost a significant amount of muscle tone but have fortunately maintained the same weight. Ideally I would have dropped weight but for my lack of activity and significant spike in cheese and sugar consumption, I'm just happy it didn't go up. I go back to the Dr on Wednesday morning and am really hoping to get released to run. I want to do the marathon but more than anything I need focus in my life. If the Dr and physical therapist say the marathon is just not going to happen, then so be it. But I need some structure, a goal and an outlet. Ive been quite a mess the last 4 weeks. Eating poorly, sleeping little and not working out. But as much of a disaster as I know I am, I cant find it in me to behave any differently.

I am hoping this week goes differently. I had the best intentions of going sugar free beginning Saturday morning. I was off to a good start until at about 2 am the bar ran out of sugar free red bull and I decided to switch to leaded. Those things kill me. I could still feel my heart racing when I went to bed at 6:30. I slipped again Sunday by having a shaved ice desert at the Malaysian restaurant we tried and a coke when we ordered pizza. So I'm back on track today and its miserable! I have the worst headache and all I want is sugar! I guess come things will never change, I couldn't handle sugar when I was little and I still cant. Im about to leave work so the temptation has about passed but this headache isnt any better.

So I have thought about this for a while.  Do I actually write this post?  Do I put my dirty laundry out there for everyone? Or the handful that read my blog.  And if I do, what do I say? Do I slam those involved?  Do I take the high road?  When is a “good” time to put it out there?  A few days under my belt and there is probably no better time. So no secret, my ex-boyfriend was my coach.  That worked out mildly well while we were together but add a breakup and somehow it just doesn’t work out as smoothly.  Add a few of the worst things a person could do to another in there and disaster doesn’t even begin to describe.  But I have this eternal belief that I can make any situation work.  That I can fix things.  It’s what makes me good at my job.  I’m an eternal optimist. But it’s what causes me to not be so good at my personal life.  Even when things are clearly not good, I still think I can fix it and make it right...

Weekly eating

The struggle is real.  Between working and them finding time to eat some thing other than takeout pizza, do my physical therapy, spend time with the baby and the husband it is seriously hard to fit it all in. Oh and sleep.  The older I get, the more sleep becomes non negotiable. We are also trying to eat with McKenna so she sees us eat and follows suit. It also allows me to give her things off my plate, which she definitely is more interested by.  This has actually been a huge struggle as our window in the evening is so limited with her, I don't want to spend it cooking and not spending time with her.  So the goal is to keep our meals simple and do as much ahead of time as possible. The downside to this is the Husband and I usually spend time chatting and relaxing during our meals as it’s always been our alone time together. But sleep. So I came up with a plan for the week and cooked the majority of our food on Sunday.  I really only made salsa because my freez...

Defensive eating

I like to think I have complete control over what i eat, how much and when. It's my body, who else would have control? Over the last week, I have realized the level of influence the person you live with can affect it. I have lived for a while with someone who has no self control and thus sees a package of cookies on the counter and eats the entire thing or eats an entire 1 lbs bag of PB M&m's in one sitting. So instead of eating just one of my favorite cookie, I would eat 3 or 4. Yes I know cookies will not be gone forever but in that instant I become territorial and eat more than I normally would. It makes me wonder about the strange behaviors those in large families must have about food. Clearly our parents define a lot about the relationship we have with food but this realization brings to light a whole new level of influence on my eating. There has been a package of cookies on the counter that's been there since Monday and is still half full.
