Totally Not Feeling it This Week

This week I fully admit to being a SLUG. I ran/walked a pathetic 3.2 miles, listening to a less than interesting podcast. Luckily I made it to spin 2x and will hopefully swim tomorrow. I have to map out at least 28 miles on the bike for Saturday and DO IT.

Eating has not been great either. I must be stressed (and I do have reason), but I need to handle it better than I am. I CAN NOT EAT every time life happens. There has got to be a better way. Nothing I ate was BAD, but it was the amounts that kill me... 1.5 packets of oatmeal, with banana and milk, 1/4 cup light sour cream with a bag of snap peas, 2 pieces of colby cheese, 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups black bean chilli, 2 fiber one bars, LaughingCow ice cream sandwich, 1/2 Kashi Bar, 1 container Rice pudding, 1 cup pasta with 2 tbsp fresh pesto. WOW. I had to write it and see it and know why I felt so FAT yesterday, and this morning. I need to reel this in NOW. I saw 179 last week. I don't see how I could step on the scale and see anything but a gain this week.

POSITIVE is what I will spin. I need to put this little set back behind me. Learn to recognize the pattern while I am in it and think about how to deal with life a little bit better. YOGA - deep breathing, going for a walk, --- all better responses to crazy family issues!

As for the Tri this Sunday. I did not sign up for it. I am kind of avoiding the issue and looking for an excuse to NOT do it. The extra pressure is NOT good, but I know the practice of being in a race before I do the Olympic Tri next month would be a plus.... I have 1 day left to decide.
