I am keeping pretty well on track here. It's an adjustment. The temptation for sugar is great. When my days are long and hard as school the vending machine calls to me. Yesterday I decided to succumb. To my initial frustration and ultimate delight, the machine would not take my money- so instead I took the stairs. The craving quickly subsided and I could forget about it.
This is sort of how things have been going lately- getting pulled back from the brink. Close is close, as long as I don't trip over the line. Though all in all things are not bad. It helps that it's harvest time and the fruits and vegetables are looking so amazing. It's the dreary oatmeal winters that are hard.
This morning was 40 mins on the bike/trainer. I should really have gone for a run but I'm still afraid. I want to build up some more strength and cardio before I head out there. I miss it. My lab classes look over the WSide Hwy and the path that I love to run. It's a good daily reminder of where I want to go.
The scale was not so kind yesterday, but I've got my excuses. Salty meals, TOM etc. Whatever- my pants were a tad looser yesterday, so whatever. It feels good to be getting stronger, to be good to myself. I sometimes think of myself as an empty vessel and I've lifted the lid off my head. Into my body I am pouring all this goodness, including the education. Food for the body, mind and soul.
