First week of full-time work and the running schedule has really gone to boot. I admire anyone that works, has a family and tries to fit in exercise successfully. It's a compromise for sure as I am loving the job and the adult interaction but then I look out the window and see the beautiful sunshine and wish I was outside running. I had no other choice but to wake up at 6am and go to the gym this week which I managed once! Hope to do this every week. I was apprehensive about working out so early but I really enjoyed it and felt great for the whole day. My friend Jane joined me and held me accountable which was the only way because the days either side I managed to wake up in time but went back to bed because I had no friend to go with. Finally managed some speed work on the treadmill. Hmmm haven't been on a treadmill for years but I can see how handy they can come in for interval training.
Today I have a shorter run. Still lots of catch up to do and will be behind again. As for the diet, still no added sugar to any food in the last 4 weeks. I am loving it. Psychologically the thought of all this nutritious food I am eating is the biggest high. Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and I had given up bars of chocolate for Lent. I did dabble in 2 or 3 bars of unsweetened chocolate. Having this mini goal I had set helped me really cut down. Pleased with the outcome. Still no alcohol in 4 weeks and holding on to that one hopefully all the way to marathon day.
