I agree, it is much more inspiring to read about what you’ve DONE than what you PLAN to do. Then I can incorporate what YOU’VE done into what I plan to do!

And I second what Lauren said about noticing all your small accomplishments, and that 3.5 miles is GREAT!!

Lately, I’ve been trying to run again after an injury and illness of a couple of months, and it’s so incredibly difficult to get going…

I know what you mean. My blog is 99% about what I did because while goal-entries are fun and get you motivated they are not nearly as “meaty” and inspiring to yourself or others as posts about achievements. Just make sure you are noticing EVERY small achievement so that you can blog constantly about them, they will lift your spirits.

3.5 miles no matter how slow is a great achievement.

i LOVE food! but i try to have special meals, that i either make for me and my honey or go out to a restaurant and eat with a friend or two, only on some days. then on the other days, or the other meals for the days i’m having special meals, i just eat things that i know i like, are relatively good for me, and will satisfy me. so, for example, if i’m going out to dinner with a girlfriend or cooking something special in the evening, i’ll eat a bowl of cereal after my morning run, and have a salad for lunch. then the dinner is extra special because i’m hungry and have been thinking about it all day! if there’s nothing special going on for a few days, well maybe two max, i only eat boring and healthy foods during that time, but it means IT”S TIME TO COOK!!

i lost almost 50 pounds several years ago, and kept them off, by completely eliminating fake sugar, and eating an apple every day.

You did really well for having to take so much time off for your injured foot! Good for you!

I ran the same half this year that I did last year (the Kenosha Half on May 1) and I was 20 mins slower this year… and also heaviers. Something I need to work on.

I am running Chicago as well

Wow I don’t have any good advice for you because I’m obsessed with my food as well. To a point where I can never really tell when I’m hungry for real or not and I’m so paranoid about it I sometimes don’t eat BECAUSE I feel like I’m just tricking myself into feeling hungry. It’s weird….

stupid food.

I guess it depends on how you think of food. I think about it a lot, but I love food. I think I am an addict, but I have learned to accept the fact that I love food and that’s okay.

It’s just how I handle it that really matters.

I was the opposite on NS – I just set out the food meals for the next day the night before and just added in my extras the next day. I didn’t have to think too much about it, and that was what was so great for me. I found it harder to transition off, because then I had to really think about what I was eating and how to make the meals balanced.
