AHeya sweetie
Your run where you head was hurting sounds normal, your hubby is right, it stops as soon as you stop thinking about it. When i went on my killer run with my brother he told me that our brain will come up with all sorts of things to try and stop us from running. Like, my ankle hurts, i have a pain in my chest, this hurts, that hurts and with my run with him, OMG i'm gonna be sick. He said that it was my brain trying anything to get me to stop and i hate to admit it but he is right. When i am out running i have little pains here and there but as soon as i stop thinking abut them they go!!!
I know your running is hard but you will reach the stage when you 'just run' and your mind can think about other things other than your body screaming at you, it will take time and alot of effort but you will get there. I love the 'head space' i go to when i am out on a long run on my own, it is just the best therapy

Oh, and the blood red colour, tell me about it!! That means you worked hard

I am exactly the same when i really push myself. It's a good thing
oooh 45 mins of zumba

That is an awesome workout. I did it once and it was totally crazy, great fun but crazy. Well done you

Well done you on counting again. I really think i am going to have to do it forever so i don't slip. Can you imagine how awesome it will feel to be counting when we are at maintenance.....that will be like 2000. We wont know what to do with all those calories (well, i think i will but you know what i mean

)
I loved reading that post where you were freaking out about running for 2 mins!!! I am going to have to go back and read when i started my running. I freaked at 2 mins too and now i have done a 1hr48min run!!!!! How freaky is that

You will get there my lovely
Stay strong with the pizza sweetie, you don't need it. I made spagetti meat balls for my men and i had 4 meat balls on dry roast peppers, onions, aubergine, tomatos and mushrooms they were just cooked with herbs, salt & pepper and garlic salt. I have never done that before and it was just sooooooo scrummy and the cals are really low. I would normally be totally jealous that they has spagetti but i so enjoyed my food that i didn't even notice what they were eating. Maybe try planning you meals more so you can have something really tasty rather than grabbing something last minute.
Stay strong my sweetie. I'm there tightly holding your hand
