What sabotages me? That one is easy. Food and negative self talk.
There was a lot of talk this week among my fellow SkirtChaser's about the power of self talk - negative or positive. Personally I fall into the negative group, and way too often. Its something I try and work really hard at with my parenting and not subjecting T and E to any negative talk and put downs, yet I do it to myself all. the. time!
Being mindful of the effects helps. Training my brain that I am worth it, that I deserve to be healthy, that I can accomplish goals, that I am a runner is hard work. I'm trying! I pushed myself on my 2 mile run this morning and was proud of how puny the hill seemed. It felt good and I dwelt on that feeling for the rest of the run. Next week I might even try a hill repeat!!
Yay! So glad you're back. I'll be following your progress and cheering you on, that's for sure. Love you heaps.
