I ran this morning. A new 4 mile loop around the neighborhood. At mile 3 I made a turn to come home and pulled (?) something in my back. Undescribable pain. I walked, and then jogged slow the rest of the way home. I am bummed because I really wanted to kick the last mile. I was warmed up and, let's face it - down hill makes you feel so FAST! Anyway, I tried to stretch, showered and took my best friend Aleve. Whatever I did I NEED it to go away. I MUST exercise with intent and vigor if I am to be successful at this challenge.
I have a busy week planned and hope to keep the stress (read- mad eating) to a minimum. I shopped yesterday and filled the fridge with fresh veggies. The freezer is stocked with frozen ww meals in a pinch. No Excuses! My goals for the week are:
- Exercise every day. Whenever I can fit it in. Bring the dog for a walk. Ride bikes with the girls, or put in a REAL gym experience. Doesn't matter what I do, I just need to move.
- Keep a food journal.
- Get some sleep. I know that I will feel better and I know that my night time food issues could be well managed if I went to bed to read, rather than sit and fall asleep in front of the TV.
Let's see where this takes me. I would like to leave October with one great week behind me!

Hang in there!! Learning to start over is a good thing, I have done it several time and each time I am getting better. It's all part of the process, I think.
Don't let the setbacks sabatoge your goal! Even walking is a good exercise if your back can take it.
Glad to see you're joining us. :)
