Starting Over, Again...

So, last week didn't go so well. I exercised three of six days. That's better than before, but my eating remained atrocious. The last two weeks have set me back two months in my weight loss and exercise goals. I've gained a bunch, and I don't feel good. I don't look good. Bleh. That darn food! Especially the sugar. All I can think about some times is cookies. All I want to eat is cookies. Mmmmmm... cookies. Will I ever kick it? The cookie habit. I have to run for 30 minutes to burn off one cookie. You'd think that'd be deterrent enough. Running on the treadmill is not my favorite, but it's cold, dark, and icy, not to mention the wind is incredibly fierce! Since running a 5k isn't as exciting or as motivating as it once was, I'm aiming for a 10k now. I've looked over several plans and organized one that I think I can do. It's not final. I borrowed the original plan from running-dot-about-dot-com . I just adjusted the days so I would have Sunday off. I plan to do strength training on the rest days. I may stretch this out into a 10 or 12 week plan. We'll see how it goes. I'm off my game, so it may take a week before I get into it. Especially since I have a lovely cut on my foot that could be problematic. I don't have a specific race in mind either, but I'm looking them up. Hopefully I'll be able to afford to enter one as they get closer. It's easier to exercise when I have a fitness goal and not just a weight loss goal. I can't believe how far I've set myself back in that area! or how quickly it happened! As far as weight loss goes, I hope to clear this set of 10's by Valentine's Day. Now if only I can keep all this at the forefront of my mind while I'm tired and craving things throughout the day.
