Couch potato to 5K

Thanks Kirsty. Today has been a better day but there is too much crappy food in my house at the moment and I'm slipping back into my evening eating habits. Why is it that the bad stuff slips down more easily than the protein!

 

[kurstywursty]

Welcome to my world lol xx

When I have a bad food day my priority is to avoid damaging my band so I tend to graze :-(

But the bad stuff is Defo easier to graze on

Who wants to graze on tomato and cucumber lol xxx

 

[purplepippa9]

Oh Kirsty! Why do we do it to ourselves? I thought I'd addressed a lot of the emotional eating but I think it runs so deeply that it's very hard to change.

 

[kurstywursty]

Pippa. I think I have accepted I will always have to fight my compulsive eating. I just need to get smarter with some strategies ;-(

But hey it is a bit easier with my band. But just such a shock to realise the battle will be ongoing. I had honestly thought this surgery would sort me out lol xxx

Can't believe I managed to do week 8 day 1 yesterday 28min straight run, very proud of myself

 

[purplepippa9]

Well done mrs! I'm about to attempt 20 minutes. Maybe tomorrow!

 

[kurstywursty]

Go girls. I'm still in the contemplation stage lol. I just can't get past week one day one.

I'm seriously considering whether this running lark is for me lol ;-)

Well done you super runners xxxx

 

[purplepippa9]
