What am I doing?

Lets review:
Running is going well, work is very busy but I'm learning stuff, diet was going fab yet since last week and the mega stress I just can't control my eating. I'm just eating without thought even when I know I am full I eat. Now I feel fat, full, frumpy and a tad sick. Why am I doing this? There is no reason! Last week I at least had a reason - I was stressed beyond belief (not that that is an excuse) yet this week is calmer (still busy though) and I am eating, I'm even buying food to eat whilst saying to myself ... WHY???
grrrrr

I am so relieved to know that someone else does do that too - it is really weird isn't it - you can stand outside yourself and watch yourself doing this stupid stuff.

I think I am better when I make a really conscious effort to keep well hydrated. I don't knOW whether it makes me feel full, or makes my brain work better or what. But definitely when I am sitting at my desk and drinking plenty I don't get the munchies. When I am in meetings and don't drink as much I come out and 'need' carbs and choc.

a cross post there AH - so maybe there is something in this water stuff!

Will have to be more methodical about it. I had not spotted a pattern til I started to reply to pix.

I put it down the time of year. Its dark and depressing outside, there is normally a lot of free food on the go as people bring in cakes and sweets. And of course the stress levels are reaching their annual peak.

As Aim High and Beanz have both said drink water, the thirst and hunger feelings are easily confused.

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...

Back Fecked

Today has been an exciting one! Wake up and take 20mins to get to the bathroom which is en suite! By this time I am in tears with a cold sweat and feeling nausious. Gnome had to help make breakfast and I had a yoghurt as that involved no bending down for cereal or bowl! Walked Gnome to school - normally 15mins today over 20mins; it's half a mile. Took me 20mins to walk home alone after. Called Drs. Appointment 1 with Dr about back @10:40. I have inflammed back muscles, a large packet of high strength prescription on anti-inflamatories and advice to go back if no better by Tuesday/Wednesday. Oh and that I can self certify sickness for 7 days "work will be very uncomfortable if you work at a PC all day" Yep this is true 5mins here is enough! Appointment 2 @11:25 (I didn't bother leaving!) for nose zapping. Back too sore to notice if nose hurt but now the anesthetic has worn of it hurts!! So I'm feeling just FAB today! Running - err me finks not!
