day 1 and day 2 of the restart

Sunday, June 24, 2012

Yesterday, I popped in day 1 of Supreme 90...beginning again.

I did it, had a much easier time than my first attempt ever..thats for sure! I bought 8 lbs weights and honestly, I know ill be needing 10 lbs! Not necessarily with chest and back (that was today) but I think once I get to arms!

My eating was awful. I was upset, and the emotional eating was in full force. I'm lonely, and I dont know how to make friends. I always struggle with this, and yesterday it got to me big time, so i tried to supress that feeling by eating it away. But as we all know, eating doesnt suppress that lonely sad feeling. You end up just feeling worse.

Today was day 2. Now, I'm not EXCITED to exercise yet, not by any means. But I know what I need to do, and I know that eventually that excited, happy, peppy exercise girl will come out. SOMEDAY. At least thats the hope. Today was ultimate ball. Again, easier time. I can now do all the moves INCLUDING PIKES!!!! The skiers im still having trouble with, but nothing like before lol.

My eating so far today is completely on track. I made a smoothie for breakfast (protein powder, water, berries, a banana and greek yogurt) and lunch I went to Daphnes (SO YUM) and had a grilled chicken pita. I'm about to have a snack (im thinking string cheese and a EAS shake).

I also need to start running again. I know thats another reason I dont feel like "myself". I want to do the Long Beach Full Marathon with MASRITE, but its the first weekend in october and i dont know if now I wont have enough time? Any thoughts? its 15 weeks away. Maybe we should aim for November? I know that once I start running again, it will really help. I just need to get motivated to get up early on the weekends and hit the road. I've done it many times, and I always feel happier when I'm in training. Gives me purpose, and allows me to eat more!!!!

    Hey,

I am sorry you are struggling. I have an awful time making quality friendships-- I can talk to people, that I might have similar interests... but at some point I freeze up and find it impossible to say the next logical thing... which is for most people a derivative of,

"Hey, you wanna hang out this weekend... get a cup of coffee... get some lunch"

You are not alone.

I am trying to make, making quality friendships higher on my priority list. It is really hard if you are inept (like me)... not calling you inept :), calling myself.

One thing that I have found that helps is www.meetup.com.

It's a free site. You can join in on groups of people doing stuff... you, meet up, to do something. I try to do something from there at least once a month. I haven't made any good friends from there, but it is a start.

I hope this helps! Just remember, many people are in the same boat as you-- there is something about being in the 26-35 age range and not having the stuff that society says you are supposed to have (boyfriend, husband, kids, etc.) that really displaces you...

Anyway, best wishes. Try meetup! I have July 4th plans because of meetup, seriously.

    I'm no good at making friends either, that is why my cousin Julia is my only real friend. I don't know why because I'm a very warm outgoing person but I have a very hard time trusting people and am afraid to invest anything in a relationship because I usually end up hurt. Also, my relationship with my husband is so great that I find I don't really need friends. I think lightningrunner is right, involve yourself in something new and friends will likely come along!
Great job getting back to S90 and you have the right attitude! It may not be what you WANT to do at first but knowing you need to do it will keep you going and soon it WILL be what you want to do!
I know nothing about running except that I don't want to do it but there are so many awesome runners here on SP that can advise you, especially lightningrunner!

    Way to get back on the horse :) Glad you're feeling better!

I second your thoughts on training- having something to work towards definitely gives you a sense of purpose. I've never run a full marathon... but in my mind.. October seems a little close (but only you know the limitations on your body.) Good Luck :)

    You can do anything you put your mind too - announce your attention to the world - put your plan and goals in writing.

Wish I could tell you how to make friends - go to a Book Club, join a running club or team - meet new people.

    I'm so not ready to run the first week of October either. I haven't ran in who knows how long. We need to reassess!! I, too, miss running, but so scared to start again due to the side thing. Doctor believes it's a pulled easy. Told me to take it easy. Ha!!
