Went for a "short stroll" along Summit and Grand Aves in St. Paul last night to grab some ice cream. It turned into 7.5 miles round trip, when the gf got the distance from her phone after the fact. It's a good way to kill two hours. And, hey - ice cream!

This is hard to say, but it's necessary. In terms of racing, I will take next year off completely. Between Chronic fatigue syndrome, anemia, and sciatica, I need to let my body fully recover.
Instead, I have yoga and Pilates for fitness. And I will work on my memoir of struggling with obesity and anorexia.

Before I approach a starting line again:
1. Get on first shift or find a 9-5 type job. It's hard to run on 4 hours of sleep.
2. No ultras for awhile. Or, if I do, make those the ONLY race I do that year.
3. Pick a distance and specialize in it.
But for now, I need to regain strength, stop using coffee as a crutch...

Long time no post in here. The update.
I am down 14lbs since July. When I noticed the number, I yelled out "HOLY ****"! First thing the nurse asks: "Good or Bad?" I said good, because if it was bad, I would have yelled a different swear word and punch the wall. It helps working the second job. Not in the sense that I am constantly busy. It is more of the sense that I have to walk a ways just to get to the main building and more to the location that I am working.
The meds that I am on are food blockers and I have noticed that my food intake has gone down significantly. Same goes with beer consumption. After 3 Miller Lites, I feel really full. The 4th Miller Lite makes it feel like when you are at a Chinese buffet and you get the ice cream to put you over the edge of fullness.

How are you feeling?

I've cut my coffee down to 4 cups a day. Still a lot, but better than the 9 cups I was drinking.
The sciatica feels better. Down to about a 5.5 out of 10.
I've accepted that running is simply not there right now. I need to solve the anemia and chronic fatigue syndrome first.
And I looked at myself shirtless the other day. There was some definition in my core.

Cleared to work out again, but only yoga and Pilates.
But in terms of racing, I probably won't approach a starting line again until January 2019. Sadness.

I have to admit that rest is actually good for me. You know, at this time last year, I was going from one race to the next, and not giving myself enough time to recover.
And there is something I will say to everyone who told me to slow down:

Since going to the doctor in early August (when the BP and other numbers were actually in decent shape), I've completely fallen off the wagon in all three phases: diet/exercise/rest. Having a busy next two weeks at the office isn't going to help matters much, either.

I have learned that I do not need to keep dragging my butt over 26.2 miles time and time again to get a great workout.
I would like to start running again by January 1, but only 2-3 miles at a time. Still no racing, though.
For right now, I am looking at a Fit Body Boot Camp near my apartment, or Chalene Johnson's Turbo Fire for more intensity.

I need a higher fiber diet. I know there's Kashi, Quest bars, and other ways I can cheat, but I want to do this right.
Small avocados, steel cut oats, brown rice, winter squash, legumes... what am I missing?

There are high fiber breads out there as well. I've got a loaf that gives me 6g of fiber per slice.
And to answer your earlier question, I haven't done a **** thing. I've got some work to do.

Yep, I also blew it all to hell this month. Too much travel.

I'm holding on. I've been shopping smarter and doing my hour long workout first thing, which helps.
Re: Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2017: Relentless Forward Progress
So the thing that finally spurred me to switch up my workouts was yoga yesterday. 40 effing minutes doing progressive sun salutations. Every week. I really like yoga, but this instructor is... bleh. I tried barre (I know, super trendy) and decided it was not my thing. I tried to get a trainer, and the first one could only meet on the day I COULDN'T meet (which I put in my email, so... why'd she call?), and said she'd hook me up with someone else... and I never heard back. I think my limited schedule is going to make it hard to get a trainer. Adding body pump (Fridays aren't crowded, which is complaint #1 for me), and core/arms strength classes, switching my spin day, and sticking with ringside. and hockey, of course. I will miss yoga, but will try to add it in when I can... none of the class times work out. I know I won't do it at home. Potentially substituting swim for spin at a future date. I've had my current schedule for well over a year, so I'm excited to switch it up.
