Frustration

I just hit a super low point today.  I know that I need to not let this get to me, and keep moving, but I am just so burned out.  I was having a hard time trying to bounce back from being sick a few weeks ago, and then I came to the realization that I'm not going to be able to do the half marathon this year.  My knee, my knee - I cannot go more than 2ish miles before getting a stabbing pain.  I was so mad the other day that I just kept running on it even faster, and then nearly tripped.  Erg!  Every since then, it's been hard to get any motivation to do anything, and I have gained 5 pounds back in two weeks, even though I was really watching my diet, and still exercised three days last week.  This week...I barely did a 30 minute workout on Tuesday....what's the point?  Sometimes I think I am simply destined to be a fatty - patty, so why should I even fight it.

Now that being said - it's time to stop whining, and get back to work.  2 steps forward, and 1 step back.  Part of the problem is that the kids at school have been really out of control lately.  This has been wearing me out like you wouldn't believe, and I just don't want to do anything.  My last teaching day is the 23, so I'm excited to have more time that I can dedicate to reaching my weight loss goals.  And since I will not be able to do the half, this is a great time to get in the pool, and on the bike to get ready for my tri.

As for the running, I'm sure this is just one of those minor setbacks.  It just came at a crappy time this year.  Must be positive, must stay focused, must be dedicated!
Ready, and GO!
