Day 134- Not much to report, been home for a full week and lost 1 lb. Really not much going on this week. I will be out for a few nights this coming week, so I should see some results from that. My running is coming along, I am doing 5k every other day on the treadmill, I am not running the entire time yet, but I am getting there. Kind of a little fearful of when I can run the whole thing because than I have to move it outside into the real world. I have been thinking of on my non-run days to get out and walk 5K just so I can start to get the feel for it. My legs have been sore lately but no major pain or injury. One thing I need to do a better job of is workout/weight training. I need to come up with a more structured plan and one that will work in a hotel when they don’t have a weight machine or weights. I have searched the net and looked through the men’s health plans, but they all seem to need some precise piece of equipment. The ones that don’t need it seem to be a little out of range at this time for my skills. I just got to keep getting better and stronger and good things will happen. I am not at a point where I would join a gym, but I do feel much more likely than I did 134 days ago. When I run now, I think back to just being able to walk on the treadmill and could barely run for a full minute. I use to get embarrassed in the hotels if someone came into the fitness center while I was on the treadmill because all I did was walk.
Funny how you can get sucked down when you constantly compare yourself to others. This has been a real problem of mine my whole life and something I need to work on. It is just not with my body, but everything. I have always felt there is someone better than me and I don’t belong. It started back in grade school with kids having nicer things than me and rubbing my face in it, or feeling like that was what they were doing. My family had a tight budget (one of the reasons I spent like crazy when I got my hands on credit!). I grew up in a family business and everyone thought we were rich! My parents probably brought home less than the average laborer of that time. We also did not live in the ‘cool’ neighborhood, so this excluded me from a whole group of friends. There is a lot more to this story, but not enough time today, this is a start. I will add that I did go away for high school to a boarding school with kids from all economic classes from all over the world and a lot of the social stigmas went away even with kids there that never had to work for a thing (No joke, one of the kids got picked up in a helicopter every weekend to fly back to the Hamptons). Major problem is it gets in the way of my work. I am a very confident person, but when I feel out classed I crumble sometimes. This is one of those things I hope to deal with in this journey.
