I Need to Get a Grip

Good Grip!

I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed this week due to the insane amount of things I'm trying to do, and last night, it all came crashing down.  I felt like I was very close to a mental breakdown but with a little help from Dennis, I think I'm ok.  

1. I'm nervous for Sunday.  Not because of the Superbowl, but because of my race.  I am very excited/proud to say that I followed the 7 week training program 95% (I swapped out a few days to adjust to my social life) which is a huge accomplishment in itself.  

2. Because of the addition of running to my Crossfitting my hunger has been on full drive.  I feel as if I could eat all day and still want more.  The problem?  Eating the right things.  My diet is a huge challenge for me.  I have all the tools to do it right, its just committing.  I have a bad feeling that as my miles per week increase, my hunger will do the same.  I need to spend more time thinking of things I can easily snack on or prepare and store that are within my restrictions.  And of course somehow forget how delicious pizza is. 

3.  Hard to believe, but I have a life outside of my fitness world.  I have bills, pets, a job, a husband, friends, and its often VERY hard to balance all of that.  So when anything out of the ordinary happens with those normal life things, it's very hard to maintain a strick and sucessful fitness lifef.  I said it was hard, but not impossible. 

So in conclusion, after my mini meltdown, I feel a little better.  I know its ok to feel overwhelemed, as long as you take the time to sort out all that is going on and move forward.  I feel better about things already.  I have lots of tools to help me stay organized, on track, and motivated.  All I have to do really is embrace them and know that my hard work will pay off.
