So this week something changed. Well 2 things changed really...
1) I have a strong desire to run again (not just run, but train and race again)
2) I want to eat everything in sight
I discovered almost 2 years ago that I love to run. As a result, I ran and ran and ran. I trained for and ran 2 half marathons and began training for a full marathon.....all within a year. As is expected, I burned out and had to take a break. Not only did I hurt, but I was running so much that I just kinda got bored I guess.
I am happy to say that the spark is back. I miss running!! I dream about running. I need to run. Unfortunately, since it is so late in this pregnancy and I have not been running, I don't think it is a good idea to start now. I cannot wait to get back into it though as soon as he is born. I am craving the runner's high and the thrill of finishing a race. Chris' sisters are going to train for and run a half marathon in December and I have decided I will be joining them. I figure it will be a good way to lose any extra baby weight that will for sure start packing on due to the second change in my life this week....FOOD.
I want to eat anything and everything. It is the first time since I have been pregnant that I have felt this way and it is scaring me just a little. I guess it makes sense since he is supposedly starting to pack on the fat starting this week, but still! When I am not dreaming about running, I am dreaming about eating. Doesn't matter what it is, I will eat it. I am ALWAYS hungry and though I get full easily, I feel like I am chewing all day long. Though it may backfire on me, I have decided to give in. Obviously my body is telling me something and I will listen. I want to enjoy this time in my life when the thoughts of "being good" don't rule my life. I will worry about getting back in shape and losing the extra later. Probably by running!
Speaking of food, I am in need of something chocolate...mmmmm

i did a lot of walking, and i think that helped.
