I finally did a run this morning. It felt wonderful to be out again, and the run was great. It was short -- I didn't measure it, but I was able to run the entire distance at a pretty good clip, so I'm guessing it was about 2km. Steve picked me up and we went to the Y. I swam for half an hour, and it went well too! The time goes by quite quickly, and I tried some alternate-side breathing for the first time this year. Later this morning, I had my second Pilates class on the reformer... my legs were sure talking to me by the end of that!
It did me a lot of good to be so active today. I'm sure all my eating made up for it, but at least I really got a lot of physical activity in. I love the reformer! I wish I could go every day! I think I will sleep well tonight.
I have talked to a couple of people about my sleeping troubles, and I'm meeting next week with the person I buy my Shaklee iron from. She has a few ideas about what's going on, and my Pilates instructor is giving the whole scenario some thought as well. It is very helpful to be finally talking openly about my situation, and I feel like some solutions are around the corner.
Physically, I haven't really lost any weight, but I feel like I'm doing better. I've got a tan, I'm getting a haircut on Thursday and a pedicure next week while the kids are at camp. Still, I will admit that I'm surprised at how heavy I am when I look in the mirror. I feel like my old self inside a yucky body. That HAS to change.
Emotionally, I'm fine today. No negative comments about myself, no weepy times, no temper. Some poor eating choices, but you can't win them all.
Off to bed for a good long sleep, I hope!
