This morning I didn't get to go to water aerobics like I normally do. Connor had his 1-yr. doctor's appointment, so went there instead but I was determined to still get a strength training session in. It worked out perfectly because I waited for Connor to wake up, let him play in the playroom and I used my ball to do my workout in the playroom with him. The storm is moving in so I don't know if I am going to get a walk in before the rains come.
I have come to realize there is a lot I need to work on. I am just gliding my right now, but to really reach my goals, I need to get better at pushing myself and being diligent on "non-run" days to follow through with the plan I have set for myself. The other thing I am desperately working on is diet.
I have mentioned this time and time again in my blogging about my need to control and monitor caloric intake. I am in the process of researching dieting (even though I don't believe in the word) for runners. I have begun to read The Runner's Diet from Runner's World. I am finding it so interesting how delusional I have been about food. What I need and certainly DO NOT need as I run. Because I am organizational central and being organized through lists is how I function, tonight, I will be making lists of foods that I can eat as well as a strict menu for the next two weeks. I want to see if I can follow a regime for two weeks. I really need to change my overall eating habits anyway, this is a great springboard. Another one of my problems is being a bored eater and I need to have a little more self control and not shove something in my mouth because I have nothing better to do.
Like everything else, I am learning to never make tons of drastic changes but a few I can live with and start there.
