Ending & Beginning

What a terrible past few days!  I've failed myself and am not happy about it!  I know it's hormonal but that's really not an excuse.  I haven't worked out since my walk last Thursday.  And in turn it's effected my eating.  I've been stressing about a lot of different things and instead of dealing with it in a productive way I turned to food.  Which in turn makes me feel worse.

It's been a "dark" few days.  Those with depression would understand.  It's frustrating when you have these feelings that you know are beyond your control and there's nothing you can do about it.  I want to "snap out of it" but I just can't!  I know it will eventually pass but that doesn't make it any less frustrating in the moment!

My cousin and I did go and get pedicures on Saturday.  It was my very first one!  My feet are so ticklish that I wasn't sure if I could handle it!  :)  It was fun and did seem to lift the clouds for a little while!

Today I'm feeling like it's finally lifting so that's good.  I'm actually starting to look forward to my walk tomorrow which is a feeling I'm very glad to be having!

Tomorrow will be the beginning of Week 4.  So here's to ending a bad stretch and a new beginning!  I have one more week until I leave for vacation.  Then when I come back I can finally start my "official" C25K training!  Very excited about that!

I was looking for a picture to represent a new beginning and this one just made me happy!  How am I going to color my world?  It can be dark and gray or it can be bursting with color.  The choice it mine!

I don't want to lose my momentum on vacation so I told my cousin that we ARE GOING TO BE ACTIVE!  We are not only going to find things to see, we are going to find things to DO!  She's been running every day and says she plans to keep doing it on vacation so we're on the same page ~ thank goodness!

Here's to not giving up.....

....because I'M WORTH IT!
