True Confessions::Stressed Out

[ 13 ] 10/19/2010 |

It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means, right? TRUE CONFESSIONS! Don’t know what that is? Well, today’s the day when you step into the Sisterhood Confessional and tell us about all the stuff you need to get off your chest. Did you mess up this week? Did you fall off your plan? Or did you have a great week, and have some non-scale victories? We’ll keep all of your secrets, so there’s no need to worry.

Tell us all about it! Grab a badge, write up a post, and come back and leave you link!

Here are my confessions, the stressed out edition.

I’ve been stressed out for weeks. Up until this week, I’ve been able to maintain some self-control. Up until this week…..

This week, all hell broke loose.

I am stressed. I am tired. I am frustrated.

  1. I have not really run in 15 days. FIFTEEN DAYS (seems like it’s been so much longer)!
  2. I am supposed to run a 1/2 marathon in 26 days. TWENTY-SIX DAYS (holy shit)!
  3. The last long run I had was 7 miles (only 7!).
  4. I am freaking out (to put it mildly).
  5. I am eating more than I should (chicken fried steak, migas, bread, dessert, nachos, etc).
  6. I am exercising less than I should (which is basically NONE).
  7. I don’t know if I can do it (I’m serious about this).
  8. But I will do it. Somehow. I may walk 1/2 of it, but I will cross the finish line (at least that’s what I’m telling myself).
  9. Today, I have an appointment with a cardiologist and hopefully he’ll say I’m perfectly fine (I am perfectly fine….say it with me!).
  10. Tomorrow I will run, as far as I can, and I will get back to training (I can do it!).

The End (only it’s not the end, because I have so much catching up to do).

Stay tuned for our brand new featured this afternoon! We’re going to have a race reports link up every.single.Tuesday. That means if YOU had a race this past weekend, we want you to write all about it, and link up over here so we can all celebrate with you.

Also, we’re having a great Girlz N Gear giveaway RIGHT NOW! Check it out, m’kay?

    The very best of luck at the doctor today. You will do whatever he tells you to do though. Everything will be fine, but you have to do what is best for you! If you have to waalk the whole thing, then that is what you will do. Keep us posted please. You are on my mind all the time.

    You ARE fine. You will RUN your 1/2 (and if you end up walking like some of the best of us *uh, like ME* it will be just as awesome). You will FINISH your half. Now, step away from the nachos and no one gets hurts.
    MWAH! Good luck at the doctors and have a good run tomorrow.

    Your appointment will go GREAT today and you will cross the finish line with a huge-ass smile on your face next month. xoxo

    I know, I KNOW, how anxious and nervous and scared you are, not only about the half but also for your heart appointment. All will go well- you will take whatever news the docs give you and run with it. AND, you WILL complete that half, whether running, walking, crawling, OR me dragging your ass across that finish line. YOU WILL DO IT and WE WILL HAVE A KICK ASS TIME DOING IT. Promise.

    Love you, miss you.

    I think everyone is a bit stressed out! Hope things calm down for you! Remember that stress will get better if you eat well and exercise :) not doing that just causes more stress. I did a race last Saturday, first marathon! My race recap is at tntkathryn1.blogspot.com

    I know in my heart of hearts that if you cross the start line, you WILL cross the finish line. It may be walking, but you will do it, and that’s all that matters.

    You’re not a quitter. We all know that.
