o.k., o.k.


well, the weeklong party is now over. i'm for REAL now. i have eaten, and eaten, not exercised, done everything i wanted to this week and now the real training begins.

a long time ago, i decided that i never in my life needed to weigh myself. that is not for me anymore. there was a time and place where it was a prison for me, a daily ritual that "made" my day good or bad. after working through what i needed to with that, i'm happy to say that i haven't stepped on a scale in years. if i'm in a docs office and need to, i tell them that i don't need to hear the numbers, unless it has something to do with my health. it's very freeing. our bodies really do tell us what we need to know. i was in a really bad place with relationships, chaos, confusion, and my body reacted to that by storing every single piece of fat and calories it could because it was in a fight or flight mode constantly. i didn't change a whole lot after that, just got out of the things that were binding me and voila....

i actually wouldn't feel so bad about this past week if i were living "normal" life right now. but the fact that a skating marathon is coming up at the end of March and then the running one comes in May...well, we'll just say "wow, what a week, what GREAT clean food, and let's move on!"
