I'm Alive

I haven't logged in since April 5???  I didn't fall off the face of the earth if that is what you were worried about.  Actually, I am in a funk.  I have not weighed myself in over a week.  I was getting frustrated with not losing at least 1 pound a week... I know, there was that 6 or 7 pound loss but truthfully, I wanted more and it pissed me off.  I feel like I am sabotaging myself right now and I really need to stop it.

It finally happened, I admitted I have an injury.  My Achilles tendons are sore and my right hip hurts all the time when I move around.  It's like a pulled muscle that will not heal.  Very frustrating.  I am hoping this will heal with the three days of rest I have given it.  I am going to run tomorrow so cross my fingers it will be smooth.

I have been able to run with a 10:30 pace which is exciting too.  I really hope with the route being fairly flat, that I can keep that up for the race.  I signed up for the dam to dam which is 12 miles and at the beginning of June.  After that, I hope to do some 10K runs and then train again this summer for another 1/2 at the end of summer and sometime in the fall. 

All this and my nutrition needs to get back in check.  I am off balance with my diet and it's very frustrating for me.  I just want to get back on the wagon to choosing healthy foods so that I can reach my 150 goal.  I will get there, just wish it wasn't so hard.
