I just wanted to say that I finally hit my goal of running for 30 days (after many broken streaks) and I finally got to treat myself to the Garmin Forerunner 235 I have always dreamed of having! Now I’m even more excited to run and see my stats.
Furthermore, I have made a little routine of taking a relaxing bath every night before bed, after my run. I dump in a bunch of epsom salt to help relieve my muscles, put on some Louis Armstrong, and drink sparkling water out of a wine glass. It’s really nice. I used to be afraid of baths because it brought attention to the fatness of my body, but now that I am exercising and bathing every night — I feel like I have gotten over the fear of feeling my stomach rolls. I am content with the fact that I’m working on being healthier and baths are a great time to reconnect with my body and nurture it. So yay.
Finally, I have avoided the “restricting” mindset. Anytime I have made a “rule” that I can’t have something, all I want is that thing and I’m miserable wanting it but knowing my rule prohibits it. I have done that a lot with alcohol. Now, I never say never. I’m not drinking every night like I used to but if I want to have a beer at a brewery with friends, then I’ll have a beer. I’m not going to obsess over how many calories it has. I’m going to indulge and move on. I find that I want to drink much less often through this practice. If I restrict, I eventually lose control and binge for a long time.
Anyway, thanks for reading my ramble. I’m 10 pounds down and feeling pretty comfortable and happy so far in this journey through these adjustments.
