Even though I have nothing much planned for the day, I'm in a good mood because I made a discovery. My jog/walk this morning was MUCH improved. The only thing that's different is that I've eaten a lot over the past couple of days for the holidays. I had anorexia when I was younger and still have body dysmorphic disorder, which causes me to really limit my food intake so as not to gain weight. Maybe I just wasn't fueling up enough to perform.

Since I'm not working right now (and not quite yet volunteering), I really need something to make me feel like I'm accomplishing something. I really feel good about my exercise this morning. I bet if I at least eat more of a full meal the day before jogging, I will improve faster. I'm going to buy some t.v. dinners today (I only cook a "good" meal once a week) and see if eating more the day before exercising will help.
