Clearly i need to re-work my reactions to things. I ran The Other Half, and then ran only a few times in the 6 weeks following, and continued to gain weight. I've been eating lazily (read: out, instead of cooking at home or eating simply/whole foods) and basically feeding my misery. The residual hacking cough isn't helping matters. I'm reading a book (Ultra Mindset) that is talking about positive psychology: "Seventy-five percent of job successes are predicted by yourb optimism levels, your social support, and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of a threat." What I'm taking away from that quote is that I need to put the brakes on the downward spiral, by seeing the way I feel as a challenge - to overcome/reverse that feeling. Game on. I'm signing up for a January half marathon on Friday.
