Coming back after a looooooong hiatus.....totally embarassed

[Adrianne]

So...yeah..... I started out here in december and I was sooo pumped up to get going! Well...I started, I did it for a while and then I just kinda....didn't anymore. I have no idea what happened but I just stopped working as hard as I wanted to. And it just kept going. And going. Aaaand going. And now, when I'm finally back and on track I manage to get a small tear in my hamstring so I can't work out for a week or two or until how long it takes for it to heal properly.

 

I'm som embarassed that I let it go this far! I'm soooo ashamed that I didn't start again earlier and that I let it slide this long. I will never get to where I want to be if I don't do anything about it, or most importantly if I don't do anything differently then I used to do - eat cake and just sit on the couch.

 

And I'm so frustrated! The sun is shining here in Sweden, FINALLY, and I can't be outside running and playing with the other children! (Joking, I'm 30 so there will be no playing with random kids....that would be totally wierd... But I do hope you get the idea of it.) So now I'm wondering if anyone got any tips on what to do and focus on during this time that I heal. I was just about to start preparing for a 5 km race wiht my dad at the end of august and I still want to do that. I was so happy that I finished the 5 km run in may under 50 min (for me that is huge!) and my goal for the race in august is under 45 min.

 

So yeah...alot of ranting but I still hope you have something to share with me since I'm going bonkers over here not being able to work out (read: running and crossfit) for a while.

 

Thank you!

Did someone say Crossfit???

 

Don't feel bad about falling down, especially since you're back on your feet again now. It can happen to anyone and it seems to happen a lot more during the Christmas holidays for some reason.

 

What would you like to focus on? Nutrition? Training? Some life goal?

Haha yeees, I said crossfit! I love it! Even if I'm a steaming heap of lard at the moment I still love it! It makes me feel strong and that feeling alone is worth so darn much to me.

 

You are totally right. Falling down is a part of life, it is if you get up or not that defines you. Or so I have at least heard.

 

At the moment I am focusing on nutrition. Since I can't move around as I would like to I have to put 100% focus on that. At the moment that means I am focusing on getting over my sugaraddiction and just eating healthier. No crazy paleo-diet and such at the moment. I need to get my body and my head on the same track before I start doing things like that. I have however done a little pilates at home as of late and some push-ups and such. Things that don't really affect my hamstring. It feels good.
