Tuesday RUN 2 miles in about 21 mins with LA
COMMUTE in to work, home? ETA:
We got up early today to run before the Ruben call. I'm half thinking I could work with him to sort my shit out? I'll see. I don't know. Good run, CHILLY! LA tired and walked a few times.
Last night bought choc chips and PB for lunches and recipes, and no M at the house. Day 2. But overate, overdrank water, and ugh it hurt later.
Coach replied to my email and recommended a book, I haven't looked at it yet. He said we're all a work in progress, and I should focus on the gains and not the gaps. He also sent to the email group a Monday Motivation email that I need to get into my head, about the feeling of loss of control, edited down and specific to me:
Hey Tracy!
Feel Like You're Spiraling Out of Control?
You just feel like no matter what you do, you cannot stay on track.
You can’t do anything consistently and it feels like you have zero self-control.
You keep slipping back into old habits no matter how badly you want to change.
You made a commitment so you tell yourself, “Nope. Not going there."
But then you find yourself in the same old Moria again and again.
This is what feeling out of control can look and feel like.
This is not unusual, it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you, and it definitely doesn’t mean you’re a failure.
It just means you have some work to do to get your control back.
The truth is, you are always in control, it just FEELS like you’re not.
You slip back into old habits because they are comfortable and familiar and easy.
You veer off course because staying on course is uncomfortable and unfamiliar…at least for a while.
You’ve developed a lot of automatic behaviors over the years and changing them requires some work.
The important thing to remember is that it’s not really about being in control or not, it’s more about your willingness to embrace the discomfort of change.
It’s about recognizing when your brain is trying to keep you safe and comfortable, even if it’s to your detriment.
