First 5K 8/2013

Monday, December 8, 2014

And here I am December 8 2014.
Still running but not on a food plan.

Back up, Novembers 10K run did not happen.. OH I was ready, I had my miles in and I paid to go.
My support, my team , didn't go. My husband was not available to fill in for my team, so I didn't go.
I just couldn't face doing my first 10K alone.. driving in alone, running alone , finishing alone and driving home alone. maybe after I get one under my belt but not my first one.,

So where am I now , what am I doing to support success.
Well yesterday we did the Ugly Sweater fun 5K. I walked most with a friend and jogged here and there. Our running training has been on hold with a really bad cold snap in November. It has us dedicated outside runners scrambling for cheap gym memberships to get us through the winter.
I don't want a repeat of last year , where I gave up all together because of ice covered roads.

Food, well now, there is the rub.. what am I going to do about that.. OH you say just eat less.. yea wish that had occurred to me.. Really I could teach Weight Watchers, and i truly know what to eat , when to eat and how to eat.. why is it the one area that is so difficult to control ?

I think of food as an addiction. And I have had mine. Smokes, gave them up cold turkey. See the difference is this .  I never ever have to smoke again.. but I have to eat. So every single day of my life i have to fight the dysfunctional eating habits that I have developed over the last 55 yrs.  Every meal , every day.. And that is why I think getting control of eating is the hard addiction to MANAGE. Because you just can't quit cold turkey now can you.. that is a whole nother issue.
