I know so much of this *is* interconnected but I need to see it as two separate things. I always throw one away if I’ve not done well with the other.

E.g. if I’ve been off plan with food I’ll stop walking and running.

Or

If I’ve not been running or walking I’ll be more like ‘ah fuck it’ when it comes to snacks.

So I’m trying to see them as two things that I’m working on separately.

I’ve had about 3 days off plan over the past week but I’m still in my gear ready for a run before my date later. And I ran Friday as well.

I’m also considering taking my running gear on holiday as I’m away for 10 days and I don’t want to lose the tiny fitness level I have built thus far.

But I still find it hard because I feel that sense of ‘is it worth it?’ I’ve worked hard to not see the workout as a punishment for eating and I think that almost makes it harder ha.

Week 5, run 3.

I had to walk for 5 mins (warm up) then run for 20 mins. Say what?! 20 mins!!!!

I managed it. Only just but I did and I feel really happy about that.

I covered 2.7K in the 20 mins so that’s super slow! My average pace was 7’54”/KM over the 20 mins run and a 5 min warm up walk.

I only managed to get out today!!! 😁 I started my Zombie Run app (finished up just on Apple Watch as I wanted to listen to my own music and was tired and couldn’t work out how to stop the in game radio) and walked a lot but also jogged and ran a little too. I actually ran a fair amount and am proud I basically exercised (in various ways. Walking. Dancing. Jogging. Falling with style) a 5K. It’s the first step. And although I felt ready to die once I’d stopped I did it. #progress.

02.12.17 Did a run outside because it's incredibly warm. It's much harder to run outside then on a treadmill.
