Another week and a fresh start

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. This last week was really hard for me. Not only was I away from home, but it seems all the "stuff" sort of piled up on me at once.

But this is a brand new week and I get a new start. I didn't XT yesterday, my niece turned 16 this weekend and she had her party yesterday. She is so much fun, most teenagers wouldn't want a party with family and friends. She wanted one with a space jump (inflatable jumping thingie)!!! It was so much fun to watch everyone, young and old, jumping in there.
I was good and ate moderately, but I twisted my ankle/leg walking to the car and today, my leg is sore. It feels more like soreness from exercise, nothing major.

I did, however, fixed my lunch for today since I ate out all of last week. The scale is showing a bigger number, which normally doesn't bother me. Except I feel sluggish and I know it's because of the choices I made last week. So I went to the grocery store and bought stuff that's good and healthy for this week.

Got a comment yesterday from a family member that put me on the defensive. I was asked how far I was running now. I said right now, we had just passed the 2.5 miles on the long distance runs. The response was "that's it? you still have 24 miles to go". I didn't let it get to me though, I am building endurance, not trying to kill myself. I just said I could tell the difference already, when I started 30 minutes walking was a struggle and now 2.5 miles is very doable.

I have so much work to do (why is it everything piles up when you are out of town) and just realized on April 2, I have to go to Cincinnati. I'm dreading it, I just got back into town!!!
