There is this training that Track Shack (a local shoe store) does to help beginners learn to run properly. Its $75 for 10 weeks and by the end you should be able to run a 5k. I've been going back and forth about it and finally I decided yesterday that I will not be doing the paid training program. I'ma train my damn self. We have too much information that is available to us for free, that paying someone to teach me how to run 2 days a week sounds a little ridiculous. Plus I already purchased a book for $15 called The Non-Runner's Marathon Guide for Women. If that doesn't school me then I'm a lost cause.
So what will be my motivation to train and get healthy...I'm going to register for a 5K. I figure if I just do it, then that'll give me some accountability. It's a good goal to have I believe. I should probably focus on eating better first, but I'm taking it one goal at a time. :-)

Being Sick
Nothing can throw a monkey wrench into your healthy eating habits more than being sick. Especially when said sickness is a stomach virus and the doctor recommends the BRAT diet which is pretty much nothing but sugar and carbs. If you're not familiar with the BRAT diet it consists of Bananas, Rice (white), Applesauce, and Toast (white bread). Pretty much every vegetable and most dairy products are out of the question because they can exacerbate the bathroom issues that come along with a stomach virus.
But there is also a possibility I'm using this as an excuse to not follow the food plan I have. I'm sure I can start implementing my healthy food options back into my diet, but being sick means I can eat Mickey D's right? Cause I'm sick and too weak to make anything. It's so much easier to go through a drive thru. When you're sick, it's so much easier to forgive bad eating behaviors. As long as you are consuming food and not starving yourself. I've convinced myself of this, and it's not a good thing.
That's been my last week. I'm determined to get back on track this week and stop with the bullshit. Being sick made me take a food inventory. I think I was so obsessed with eating whatever I wanted because I was on this strict food plan, and then I still got a fucking stomach virus. So if eating healthy can make me sick...you get the picture. Anywho, I'm not going to use being sick as a crutch anymore. I'm better than that.
That's all... :-)
