i really cannot believe the 5k is in 3 days!!! not happy that its going to be cold, i really hate running in the cold. you freeze, then you sweat. not pretty. not to mention the lungs start burning about half a mile in. yep, reallllly looking foward to this goal. the next time i set a goal for running, (if i do) it will be in the spring. not completely sure i will last the whole 3+ miles without walking. do i sound a little pessimistic? i am letting all my old doubts creep in.
ok, regroup! i can do this, i have been doing stuff i never thought i would do!!!!!!!!!! who ever would of thought a year ago, that i would even be entering a 5k run? surely not i!!!!!!!!!!! i certainly never thought i would be teaching classes at the Y!!!!!!!! so think positive, and happy thoughts!!!

plateau
i think i have finally hit one. the dreaded plateau! i have been sitting at the same weight for about a month now, wait, correction, i have been gaining and losing the same 3 lbs. i just cant get any lower. i need to make some changes. i need to run more. i feel like i am losing momentum, and motivation. the turkey run is two weeks from today, and i dont feel like i am anywhere near where i need to be. in all of this, i dont like the uncertainty of possibly not making my goal. even if i stopped losing weight, i'd still feel good about what i have done so far, but i am not done!!! i still have 40 more to go. i just need to buckle down, and go, go, go!!!!!
i have also found out that i can eat way more than i wanted to. it scares me. all this hard work, and all the changes i have made, i am not going to go back to the old me. i have been making an effort to get more protein in, and more vegetables. its still hard to make that choice between chips or veggies. (i am choosing the veggies, in case anyone is wondering) but i cant lie, i do have a few chips, but i overload on the veggies. and i am sure that the hard choice between chocolate and...anything, chocolate will probably always win. its just me, and i dont think that will ever change.
