Overdid It

I'm still feeling great about the 10K--all that training really paid off! However, I think I overdid the celebrating a little bit. I didn't monitor my eating AT ALL on Saturday (think french fries, chicken tenders, strawberry shortcake, movie popcorn--it was HEINOUS!). I halfheartedly tried to eat healthy on Sunday, but I overdid it on wine with the fiance (we had SO much fun together--I don't regret it!). 

I haven't weighed myself since the morning of the 10K--I'm afraid I did serious damage! It doesn't help matters that I haven't uh... you know, gone to the bathroom in DAYS. I feel so bloated and full and gross. I took something very mild yesterday in hopes that it would move things along, but nothing yet. This must end.

I had my breast MRI today--won't get the results for a few days because they have a backlog waiting for the radiologist, but I'm sure everything's fine (this is just to establish a baseline for future MRIs). My doctor is sending me to talk to an oncologist to learn about the best options for prevention--prophylactic surgery, chemoprevention, experimental drugs... that sort of thing. The whole issue leaves me feeling anxious and frustrated and OLD. But at least I have options, right?

The fiance and I are going to look at two possible wedding venues after work today, so keep your fingers crossed!

Have a great day,
Jen

Scary

I'm sure this is all so scary for you.  (The breast MRI and the options.)  But you're right, you have options.  That's the way to look on the bright side.

As far as overdoing it, we all know it happens.  As much as you ran, you might not have done as bad as you think.  However, just get back as soon as possible.  I wouldn't even worry about it.  As you said, you had fun and don't regret it!

Wow!

Congrats on running that marathon - I was tired just reading about it!

Don't worry too much about the weekend.  I'm sure whatever damage you did will be undone by week's end.

Good luck booking your venue.  I'm sure it will be HUGE load off your mind!

hey!

i'm a firm believer that real damage cannot be done within just a few short days.  think of all the hard work you've done!  and jump right back on!
