Grumpy

I'm having a grumpy day.

It happens, and usually I can do something to make it go away. Today it took a lot longer than usual. One big help was going for a run. The only good thing about running angry is that it improves my pace. I ran my second fastest pace in a long, long time today.

This whole week has been challenging. TKD switched back to Mondays, and my legs were super sore from running and hiking on Sunday. Class was tough, and things did not go overly well. I definitely know what I need to work on.

Tuesday morning was great. I expected to be sore, but I actually felt pretty good. I did a short run (2 miles) because I was short on time, but it was the fastest I've run in a long time. No earbuds seems to be the best way for me to train. Then evening came, and I started not feeling very well. I ended up being sick for two days.

Thursday I started to feel better as the day went on, so I did a short upper body workout. It wasn't much, but it took a lot out of me. Today I'm feeling better (except for the irritated/grumpy morning). I took the Moon Dog for a walk and went for a run. Tomorrow I am hoping to get in an early morning run before we go to a wedding. This weekend is packed, and I won't have a chance to run. I'm moving my long run to Monday.


I've also taken control of my diet. I've been feeling really sluggish and terrible lately, and I knew something needed to change. My friend asked me to do Wholefoods 30 with her, and I decided to give it a shot. It's been okay so far. It's fairly restricted, but I already see and feel a difference. I'm really interested to see what happens after 30 days.

The hardest part, surprisingly, has been not weighing myself every day. The idea is to weigh in at the beginning and the end, and I'm really trying to stick to it. I didn't realize how much of a habit weighing myself had become.

This weekend is going to be a challenge, and I am trying to prepare as best I can. We're going to a wedding and going camping. I know I can stick to it, but it will take some planning. I'll let you know how it goes...
