Despite falling yesterday, I got back to it today. Best to just bite the bullet & not worry about things that may or may not happen in the future. discombobulated that pathway along the coast sounds like heaven to run on! I wish I had something like that here.
My program gave me an extra optimized run for today. The run had 5 min warmup & cooldown walks, 40 min run, 5 min walk, 10 min run. I was strong on the 40 min run and could have kept going, but after the 5 min walk I struggled with the last 10 min run. Still, I did make it. However, the program must have noted that I slowed down then so it gave me another optimized run before moving on to day 2 of the week. I'm still waiting for cooler weather. Running in nearly 80F degree temperatures with high humidity is really not the ideal running weather for me. I envy everyone with actual fall weather! The nice thing about this running is that I can eat whatever I want now and maintain my weight. I've lost 9 lb. total (my BMI is still in the healthy range, no worries there). I have actually been doing a good job of maintaining my weight these past 3, 4 weeks despite my ED thinking that would rather me lose weight. I definitely have to employ CBT thinking to get around the ED stuff. I don't want to give up walking & jogging because it helps my mood a lot and I love getting the runner's high. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

I've just been snacking today. I'm not in the mood for legit meals. Just stuff like rice cakes and apple sauce and a protein bar. Its probably med related. I did get a caramel oatmilk macchiato too.

I've had some freeze dried strawberries today. Not sure if it really counts as fruit but it says just strawberries or something on the bag. I've been in a cereal mood today. I've had some coffee too. I
I'm at 860 calories and 166 carbs. My protein sucks though. I have some triple zero Oikos yogurt. 2 of them would bring my protein way up. __________________ I'm Blue |

I had a good run today. The program gave me another additional optimized run today before moving on in the program. Today's run was nearly a repeat of yesterday's - warmup & cooldown walks, 40 min run, 3 min walk, 10 min run. Today's run was a lot easier than yesterday's. I finished the last 10 min segment without nearly as much effort as yesterday. So it was 50 min of running and a 60 min workout in totol, well a bit over 1 hr. as it took me another 10 min or so to walk back to the house. I have 1 or 2 more interval runs, and then the program shifts to a 50 min straight run and not too long after that to the 60 min. run. The program stops there, and I definitely won't have run 10K by then as I don't come close to finishing 5K in 30 min, but I'm not going to stress over the distance. After that, I think there may be a running fitness maintenace program offered that I may try and if not, I may just repeat some of the weeks on the program I'm currently using.
