I got very depressed last week and hardly went out at all. if it wasn't for the dogs and R i could have just sat an sulked all week and this week too probably. Since hurting my foot, i haven't run in about 2 maybe 3 months. Ive tried to ride, but haven't much felt like it for some reason and only managed a handful of half assed rides in all those weeks. I started swimming again, but for weeks it was all I could do to make myself go once a week. The last couple of weeks i bumped it up to two and sometimes three times and finally broke through that struggle I was having with finding any rhythm with my swim and have managed a few 400m continuous swims and increased my total swim up to 1600m. Still pretty poor from what I use to do. add to this that when I don't work out i still eat crap and eat tend to eat even more crap as comfort food.
So what has all this done? because R's parents were staying in our room I didn't have access to the scales and because Ive not being doing much I didn't want to weigh myself, so didn't even try. So the other day when i stepped on I wasnt that shocked when it read a whopping 76kg, the heaviest Ive ever been. I can feel the fat around my waste. I beat myself up by constantly grabbing it and then feeling terrible and then eating crap because oh well the damage is already done.
It's been a real struggle to pull myself up from this hole, but I did manage a run on Saturday. unfortunately my foot started hurting a bit from it, but its not enough that Im stopping running again. I swam on Saturday too and today Im going to run and swim again. A slow climb back out of the hole. Ive already dropped back to the mid 74's, but I have to remember that scale is really out of whack, but it's certainly never in my favor.
