My new training plan started out awesome and then on day three I couldn't even imagine working out. My throat was killing me and the congestion and general yuckiness had set in. That all happened on a Wednesday. On Saturday I attempted to spin for an hour and then run for 30 minutes. The spin started out badly but endorphins soon took over and the run was great. I paid the price on Sunday and I felt terrible. Basically it took me another full week to get back to normal and I am still dealing with some congestion and lack of endurance. It is always the unplanned stuff that derails our best efforts. Feeling yucky meant that food became a comfort. I ate too much.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reign in my eating. I am consistently eating way to too much and not picking fruits and veggies to fill me. I made the mistake of buying tequila and margarita mix. Apparently, margaritas are my new downfall. I can't change the past. I will just have to try to make better choices tomorrow.
I was so proud of myself for taking the focus off of training and onto eating healthier. I was doing great. Now, I seem to have fallen back to the trap of fueling my workouts and in turn overeating. Problem noted: time to move on.
Only two months until my San Diego trip. I am excited and not the least bit nervous at this point. Luckily, the sprint distance isn't an overwhelming challenge. We'll see how a feel about wading out into the ocean as the time approaches. For now I am focusing on the fun of traveling for a weekend and getting to see and participate in a bigger race.
This is a short post but I am hoping it will help me to focus. I need to remember food is for nutrition and adequate energy not to feed my boredom, or my training.
