I know I shouldn’t weigh myself everyday or be a slave to the scale, but I was happy to see a dip this morning from yesterday. It keeps me motivated. I’m totally fine with doing this my own way this go around and not falling into the “What’s the newest and most innovative diet out there??” I’m just trying to be clean, Gluten Free, and full. If I achieve those things, then I am golden. I went to bed early last night to evade the temptation of eating.
I got more sleep, and felt better this morning than I have in a while, and I didn’t eat needless food. I call this a win.
My run yesterday wasn’t very good. My hip started acting up again and it made me have to jump off a few times. I’ve decided to take today off and stretch/yoga and tomorrow I am resting completely with some stretching before bed. I have to walk across campus to class, so that will count as my workout. It’s about 3/4 of a mile one way, so it will at least get my legs loose.
I need to know when to rest, and even though it’s a massive worry, I think that after resting I will be good. I did this last week and it went fine. It was only when I over did it that I noticed the pain coming back. So for now, it’s extra protein, water, tylenol, and icey hot. Sorry for the menthol smell.
Fundraising
I’m at 61% ya’ll!!! In 7 DAYS! That is amazing. I am hoping to beat my goal of $1000.00 but I still need help. As a loyal reader, if you could find it in your heart and wallet to support me (even with $5.00) it would mean so much to me. I am in the process of coming up with a thank you gift for everyone that donates – SO DON’T MISS OUT!
Mental Stability
I’m getting there. I will get there. I looked at myself this morning and saw something I hadn’t seen in a while. I saw acceptance. Yes, I have cellulite. Unless I get Lipo from the guys on Nip/Tuck it will always be there in some form. Yes I have stretch marks. They will be battle wounds that I earned. I will look at them and remember how far I have come. I have clothes that don’t fit now, which means they will fit soon, and I will look great in them.
