Time off for good behaviour

I am taking a well deserved break from eating right and exercising! I'm still getting lots of exercise, just not at the gym, and I'm still eating ok, I'm just adding a little chocolate to the diet right now! I just figure that instead of worrying about if I am going to eat too much junk over the holidays, I will let myself off the hook and not worry about it. I can have whatever I want, which only lasts until I get a stomach ache! We made sugar cookies last night and I tried a few too many! I felt like crap all night and that's how I remind myself not to do that.

I figure that I am going to do what I want anyway, why worry my pretty little head about it!

I was running!!!

After a very long ordeal with my feet, I was able to run again, for the first time in months, last week! I have been going to Laser therapy for my left foot for a few weeks now and I cannot believe how much it has helped. I ran twice last week and I couldn't be happier about it. My foot still hurt a bit after the run, but it rebounded so quickly and I hardly feel any pain at all most mornings. I even had my slippers, that I fitted with my inserts, in the laundry so I had to go without them this morning. I got out of bed, didn't hobble to the bathroom, and walked around for an hour without the slippers. I am wearing them again now that they are clean, but only because I still think it's a good idea.

What I did notice last time I ran, was that my pants were falling down, quite a bit. So I went out and bought some new yoga pants, in a size large! LARGE! Not extra large! I was so pleased that I was running again and in large pants that didn't fall down. What a great week! I did feel a bit like Phoebe (from Friends) when I ran - just because I was so excited. I even had to stop myself from fist pumping at the end of my run. I should have taken it easy on myself, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was running!
