This week turned me a bit upside down. We hiked and hiked, so running was traded in while in the woods. I got home and found every muscle in my butt and legs sore and tight, good feeling but tough to get going again. I di sneak in a few bike rides, a few long runs that felt like lead foot the entire time and I even threw in a bit of muscle training. Chad says that I am obsessed "a bit". He says that I need to be able to eat what I want and then NOT feel guilty and double up workouts to compensate. Chad will also never be a woman that has to worry about what she eats or face the scale. Chad's heart is in the right place but man, you just don't get it. I do agree on some level that perhaps my body and poundage occupy too much of my mind. Here's the thing, excercise makes me happy, being thinner than I was makes me happy and if that means that I need to keep it right up there in my mind everyday so I don't slip and lose the momentum I have or put back on the weight I've lost, then so be it. The battle for me is ridding myself of the guilt that comes with a piece of dessert or an extra glass of wine. I do work very hard and I should be able to enjoy those treats, shouldn't I? Woman's guilt, it creeps into every good place somehow.
