This week is half over now but goals are a long run, at least one run outside, a speedwork session, 1 bike, 1 swim. Flying back to Oklahoma tomorrow. Main goal this week = no food issues.
ran long (11 mi), didn't run outside, did some tempo miles, BIKED ONCE!!! swam once. I think I was ok food-wise from Tuesday on. The struggle right now is scared of gaining weight, so I get confused about whether or not it is "okay" to eat a bedtime snack that I'm only half hungry for but want to eat. I believe I have determined that NOT eating said snack for several nights in a row ultimately results in my binge eating crap a few days later, and hence bedtime snacks should be eaten so as to avoid binge eating (which makes me feel terrible mentally and physically). In other words, I have almost convinced my brain that I am unlikely to gain weight from bedtime snacks and the small risk I WOULD is preferable to the misery of binge eating and subsequent self-dislike days later. The reality is my weight is pretty stable so THE SNACKS SEEM OKAY, BRAIN.
anyway, I swam 1125 yds, biked 9.4 miles, and ran 7x (one just a km because it was all I had time for) for 50.72 miles.
goals this week - finish conference submission (due Monday), no food issues (see above), swim 5x, bike 2x, day off from running.
