Picking myself up and truckin' back along

So everyone has bad days. Correct? Then why do I feel so guilty when I do? I beat myself up so much after making choices I know that are not the best. Today I didn't feel doing my workout as my legs were VERY tight, I did not sleep properly and I was just miss cranky pants! So after making a video for the main channel, watching all the vlogs and drinking coffee, I decided to tidy a bit. I picked up a bag of some cheesies C left on the couch and brought them to the kitchen. I was thinking how in my hand, at that very moment, could be the reason I have a bad day. Why is it, that for me, ONE little choice like this could change my day around?

So instead of doing the right thing and doing what I usually would do (throw it out or put it in the cupboard), I ate what was left (which was probably like a handful). This led me to "not give a poop" and eat what ever I wanted. This led to cookies, chips, sushi, smoothie, and eventually candy. I felt SO sick. I was paying for it.

I went home to pick up my work clothing for tomorrow and my name tag and went off to the bus stop. While on my final bus to C's, I received a text from C himself telling me he was going for a run and that he would leave the door open for me. This little text gave me a spark somewhere in the pit of my overly stuffed tummy. I had another craving. Craving for the sun and the road (how cheesy of me). I burst through C's door and stripped out of my jeans into my tights and strapped on my two watches (yep two because they have different functions) and my heart rate chest strap. Then I hit the pavement.

I felt like vomiting every 3 steps. I am pretty sure I gagged at least 4 times. I am trying to get to know C's new neighbourhood and this was a good day to venture. I needed to change my day around and it was BEAUTIFUL out. I felt like I was running pretty slow, but then I realized I ran 5.13 km in 27:17. That is a 5:19 per km. That is a HECK of a lot faster then I thought I was heading, and that is with a few walk breaks shuffled in there!

I am so happy to say that I was able to pick myself up, dust myself off and forget everything I ate today. Tomorrow I start back at it. Though we have days like this, we must be able to pick ourselves up and keep on truckin.
