I’m not sure just when or why I lost my focus; I know that I did.
I strongly suspect that it was when I went head-over-heels during my cooldown after my last walk-to-run session, nearly three weeks ago. After that, I started using the resulting soreness and bruising as reasons to skip further workouts, citing a need to heal thoroughly before venturing out again. I managed to keep up on my pushups program for another week or so after that, but I let it fall by the wayside, too.
I’m doing my best not to come down on myself for this fall; however, I know that it’s only my fault, and I have a hard time NOT coming down on myself. I’ve always been a perfectionist, and have a lot of difficulty with letting the small stuff go by.
I also have a difficult time sharing my issues – I have definite problems with trust. I’m going to do my best to overcome this, and set myself a task to become more involved with the support communities that are available to me.
Now, I’m feeling pretty good physically, and my mental and emotional states are pretty good, too. I don’t have to worry about stumbling on a sidewalk for a bit, either – my DH bought me a shiny new treadmill, which I fully intend to break in tomorrow!
OK, I’m feeling better now, and ready to get started again… Off to sleep, for a good night’s rest!
