Today was my first run in over 80 days. I had forgotten how good it felt. I feel so free when I’m running. It’s my happy place. It was different waking up this morning not having a plan....(I can’t believe I just said that) I am not a planner, but for the past 80 days I was. And I actually enjoyed it. This morning though I realized just how much progress I made during that 80 days, and I’m not talking physically. To be honest, yesterday I pigged 🐷out... the old me would have totally beat myself over it today. I would have went through 90% of the day without food, while still continuing to exercise not because I love to exercise (which I do, obviously) but as a punishment. But today I woke up, a little tired, not feeling quite as good as I’d been due to the “amazing” tasting food I had yesterday....that I do not regret eating!!! I ate my pre-workout muffins, fueling my body, just as I have been doing for the past 80 days, and laced up my shoes because I wanted to go for a run. I Enjoyed each and every step. When I returned I ate my half of banana, and stretched. (Also something else I was terrible about, stretching) Yes, I think I’m heading in the right direction. I have learned that if you treat your body with love and take care of it, it can do amazing things!
