Running Update

Yesterday was really hard for me. I got on the scale in the morning and had gained a pound over night. I was depressed. I had been loosing about a pound a day up to that point and it was most vexing. My new dietary restrictions (Allergies) have been really boosting my weight loss so this was shocking. All day I was thinking about my run and how, according to the plan I was only supposed to run 2 miles and I just new that it wasn't going to be enough. I kept telling Sam that I wanted to do something more but she kept telling me to stick with the plan. So I did. For some reason the run that night was tough. Even though it was only 2 miles it was hard for me to force my legs to move forward it felt like they were stone blocks. It took longer than normal for them to warm up even after stretching. Any way I made the run and finished in 26 minutes (Still a 13 min. mile) and felt good. I drank my water (55 ounces, I was thirsty) and watched some TV. I decided to jump on the scale to check my weight OH MY GOSH I gained 5 pounds!!! What!!!! I felt sick. I had to have read it wrong. Nope I really did gain 5 pounds. I wanted to cry. I took a shower and then sulked to bed. But as you probably have guessed it had to have been the 55 ounces of water because I woke up this morning and jumped on the scale ready to be depressed but nope it was down and I had lost the pound I gained yesterday even. :) What drama! Sheesh. Why do I do this to myself.
