Something Needs to Change

I have to start doing something different here.  I'm going to take a page from your notebook and not try to run distance every day.  I just feel worn out.  I only did 2 miles again today and it was ok but my legs just feel weak or something.  So I need to start some cross training and running hills one day a week or something like you do with Texas.  I'm also going to think about Snap Fitness a couple days a week to lift weights and do some different things.  At the moment, though, I have decided to rest tomorrow and Friday and then give the Gandy Dancer a try on Saturday just to get off the pavement and see how that goes.  Then Sunday we go to Brainerd for my race car drive on Monday and be home Tuesday so not sure what I'll do on Monday and Tuesday at the motel.  But I need to change patterns here so I keep interested and don't feel just worn out all the time.

That's a really good idea, to switch it up. I think that will help a lot.

I've also been doing some different food stuff and it's helping me a lot. I've been following the guidelines from that book Potatoes not Prozac and, I have to tell you, it's actually been life changing. I mean that. Energy, emotional health, my snacking is FINALLY under control. And that's been a lifetime struggle for me. I haven't 100% cut out sugar, but I'm not at it's mercy at night anymore. Also, I'm dreaming! First time in my life. I think it's because the food changes have increased my serotonin. When I started dreaming I looked it up and dreaming and serotonin are directly related! So that's been really fun.

I am not, however, losing any weight!

Well, I have potaotes! Bumper crop this year. And really good ones. Trouble is I want to load them up with butter and salt so not sure that would do me any good. I don't eat much sugar really. Use Splenda on anything that needs sweetening. Glad it's helping you!

I boil my potato in a lot of salt and eat it cold!
