Getting Healthy

I know, I see people weighing like 95lbs and I just think... ! Then I realise that they're like 4'11" tall. My run was good, my hill climb (urgh) was slow but I made up for it with my sprint finish, beating the day before's time by thirty seconds! I'm not running tonight because my partner is going to the cinema, sigh. But I'm up for a rest day, I think I'll paint my nails instead tonight. I had lasagne! I looked at the portion on my plate and thought I'd never finish it... And then I did. I was stuffed.

Edit: I did do 30DS this morning though so it's only a rest from running really.

It's good to know I'm not alone, but I'm sorry you have to battle with your mind day in, day out like I do. I just ate a Daim bar and it's 10pm here (I see that most people are American), sigh. I'm angry but there's nothing I can do now. And that was the first real slip-up in two weeks (nearly) and slip-ups always have and always will happen so I don't mind. I'm coming off the meds for my mental health now so my mood's a bit slippery and I feel mega anxious which might be the cause of the constant desire to binge eat. The longer I leave it, though, the easier it becomes to not do it.
 
Eating a Daim bar once intwo weeks isn´t even a slip up, it´s just real life for real people. The problems start when that one bar ends up arriving in a dozen wrappers. You´re doing fine and can be proud of yourself!
 
Thanks for that:) I always think that 'clean eating' means clean eating 100% of the time. I wouldn't have minded if the Daim bar was eaten in the day, it was the 10pm part that upset me really. But yeah, it's done now. And I'm now 138lbs somehow. I feel different too, it's good motivation. I worked out before breakfast today which was so hard, don't think I'll be doing that again soon. Nearly passed out! But yeah, 138lbs!
 
Yup, two pounds. Don't know if that's a scale hiccough or what but I'll take it! Didn't run today but did walk for an hour, which isn't great but is better than nothing I suppose. Tomorrow I'm back on the running bandwagon though and it's my last day of 30DS level one. Go me! Struggled a bit today mood-wise, doctor reduced my meds which seems to have f*cked with me a bit but I'm coping which is the important thing. Also, 15 days and it's results day! So eager to know how I did. My university place depends on my results, so my fingers are very crossed, if fingers can be very crossed.
 
Fingers can be absolutely totally extremely crossed, good luck! Walking for an hour is fine, it doesn´t have to be high-intensity all the time (say I, who can´t do high-intensity right now and who´s pretty annoyed by that). Also: good scales don´t hiccup so I´m saying you did well and lost 2 pounds :)
 
Thanks! Two weeks today. Level two of 30DS starts tomorrow, yaaaaaay! So sick of level one lol. Ooooft, why can't you do high intensity? That must be annoying. Well this morning the scales said 140 again but that was after breakfast so I'm thinking they weren't hiccoughing, or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Go me. Feeling positive again today. :)
 
Skin trouble, as soon as I start sweating things get bad. But that´ll pass and then I´ll come chase the weight you´re trying to get away from ;)
 
Ah yeah, I remember seeing on your thread. Hope things pick up for you soon. :(

Urgh, just measured my waist and according to my tape measure it's gotten bigger which makes no sense seeing as the other day it said I'd lost an inch. Like, what?! All I can think is bloating? But I don't really get bloated. Ugh, quite angry about all this.

Must. Persevere.

It's late. Maybe I should stop letting my emotions get the better of me and sleep.
 
Waist is the one measurement that fluctuates quite bit depending on how much volume (not necessarily calories) you ate, how much salt, how much water you drank and - of course - how much gas is in there. Do you alway measure before breakfast? I´d suggest doing a few more measurements (thigh, chest) to get a more objective view. Don´t let it spoil your day!
 
I am taking other measurements as well, they seem to be changing very slowly but it's still something so I can't complain. Thanks for the waist info, it's reassuring. I think it's time to get stricter with my diet.
 
Back on the exercise bandwagon tonight after an hour-long panic attack on Sunday night and another more minor one last night.

Damn you anxiety.
 
Anxiety sucks, sorry to hear you´re having to deal with it. But good going with the exercise!
