Sorry about being MIA

Sorry I've been MIA for awhile... School has been crazy busy. I had two tests this week, plus there was a huge snow storm last weekend (Thurs-Monday) that kept me inside and stir crazy! and of course instead of being productive, I decided to give myself a break and relax... which actually just ended up being harder for me. I don't know how to relax. I usually keep going until I can't go anymore. I'm trying to learn to NOT do this anymore. But it's hard for "perfectionist me"

Anyway, moving onward....I exercised good this week! It goes as follows

Monday- 6 miles- ran 4-5 walked the other

Tuesday- Elliptical for 1:15, did weights

Wednesday- walked uphill for 5 miles. While studying my prescription cards. ga I hate those

Thursday-Elliptical for 1:15, more weights

Friday- ran 8.5 miles, also I was RAVENOUS yesterday. seriously, I had to try to not eat everything in sight!

So today, I'm giving myself the day off. Even though I weighed myself and I'm at 161. That's ok. I've been healthy. I've been eating well. I've been exercising lots. I'm fairly sure it's muscle weight in my legs. That tends to happen when it's 20+ miles in a week.

Also , I know that when I get stressed, my body produces more cortisol. Which makes me retain weight. And let me tell you, i have been stressed lately.

So here's my desicion for today. I'm a strong healthy girl. I'm not defined by the number on the scale. Gaining a pound or two does not make me less of a person. I will love me :)

well I'm off to get ready for work. I'm working 4-12 today. I loath that shift. oh well, gotta make the money!

Hope you all have a fab weekend!
