So, I've had a rough run of it for the past couple of months, but I am starting to get back on track now. I went to the gym again tonight to run for a couple of miles. This felt really nice, and I experienced no ankle pain again. I actually did 7.0, 3.0 mph intervals for about 25 minutes. It was difficult but bearable. I want to do this once a week for a couple weeks before upping the speed any more.
I've kinda been having thoughts lately about what I'm eating in relation to the amount of exercise I'm doing. It sucks to think that I'm not getting anywhere because of my food choices. Today I watched it a lot more, and I felt better. I might have even consumed less calories than I used.
One thing that's been killing me is the late night eating. I need to get to bed earlier, because I get hungry again if I stay up too late. I know...I know...this is a neverending struggle for me. I'm so tired all the time, but I can't seem to make myself go to bed at an early hour. I think it's because of all the kids. Everyone's in bed, and this is my "me" time.
Sooo...that being said...I'm going to bed now.

You are so singing my song. I am always complaining about being tired but I cannot make myself go to bed earlier either. I feel like I don't have a day or any "me" time if I go to bed before 10pm. 10pm usually turns into 11 while watching tv in bed. Then the alarm goes off at 4:45 mon - thurs. Luckily I don't have the urge to late night eat, not usually anyway. Glad things are looking up for you and that you are feeling motivated. Great things can happen when your in that state of mind.
I totally understand what you are saying. Being in college, it seems as though everything fun starts to happen after 10pm, so it's hard for me to get to bed at a good time. I consider midnight a good time. I too have trouble with late night eating, one way I have had success with it is after I eat dinner, I just start drinking a lot of water. This has an added benefit for me, it enables me to get up earlier too because I have to go to the bathroom, so even if I do end up staying up late, I usually won't sleep the day away. But yeah, I probably drink 1-2 liters of water after dinner, it helps with being hungry for me at least.
Working out and not eating with the same amount of effort.
Sounds like we have a common enemy. Drink more water - and then drink even more. I'm noticing that it's been helping me quite a bit.
Eating at night is rough. That's been my downfall the last couple months, as I've only lost nine pounds since Christmas. I don't know what the solution is either, other than willpower.
