Even 2 weeks from my routined push-ups has it’s bad effect; 5k run at 30 even
OH JUST WANT TO SHARE - THAT’S MY MOM!! And my sis. She’s very sick but I don’t want to think about it. Cancer. She’s wheelchair bound…..ok, no more talk.
The last two weeks I’ve backed off my upper body work outs because my right shoulder was a bit bothersome. As I’m very much a worrywort I chose to let it rest. I’ve been back to full strength training but not all my push-ups. My baby, those regular push-ups are so important to me. Even with the little time off I can tell I lost some muscle mass. I want to rebuild back up but not rushing the process.
Thursday I got in 250 regular push-ups - not my best and on the low end but got them in nonetheless. Then I did an hour of pure weights. To finish off my evening I did a 5K at 30 minutes even. Not my best time but hey, it’s done.
Blaithin, I won’t promise I can get up for an outside Friday but I will goal it. :) BTW, the new New Balance shoes are perfect! They doing their job.
I DO have my two classes Kickboxing and HIP HOP! HIP HOP Take II!
Foodwise, I need to take night time eating in control again. I just don’t know when I will ever win that battle. That is my last and final obstacle to conquer yet I seem to have issues overall.
I know a lot of people wonder if the food addiction issue ever goes away with or without weightloss. I find for me, almost 5 years in, I still have food addiction problems. The difference is I’m always fighting. Never stop the fight. One day soon I will win. ![]()

As long as you never give up you’ll never lose!
Keep up the good work!
Your mom is beautiful and so is your sister
and so, by the way, are you! - I know for a fact that a lot of people on this site are pleased when they see a new blog from you!
Late night eating gets me too - It’s usually when I’m tired and not focussed on my goals - i would get an early night and then it’s easier to say no to couch munchies

What a beautiful picture. You are all lovely ladies
i’ve been addicted to food since I was 9. I dont think the mental aspect of it ever goes away. It’s always part of us. What changes and develops is how we learn to deal with it. I’m still learning.
Love the picture of your beautiful family!
BTW gorgeous pic of you, your sister (who does look like you in that picture!) and your Mom. I hope your Mom is at least comfortable. i know how tough it can be, being a daughter and having to be supportive though this… especially when you’re not always on the best of terms with your Mom.. I know how that feels girlie.
Hang in there. You are all beautiful women and strong too. Thank you for sharing!
Love the picture. At least you can do push up’s I have been trying to do them for a while now and can’t seem to find the proper form/position. Keep up the good work. SO sorry to head about your mom being sick.

u will regain the muscle in no time!
I’ve come to realize that the food addiction will always be there like a demon in the closet that comes out every now and then. It’s saddens me to think I’ll struggle with that for the rest of my life, but that can be my smallest struggle cause we can fight it!
I love that picture of you ladies. There’s something about it when you look in your moms eyes you see this woman who is strong and has soul and I just don’t know its a great picture.
That’s such a beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing it. I agree, the fight goes on, but I like to think we get better equipped to handle it as we go.
i love the picture!!! and night time eating awful but we will win the battle!!
:)
Beautiful family.
You all are SO beautiful!!!! Seriously.
I guess we got to keep trying and never give up.
Hope your mom is comfortable
I know, the food addiction is bad. I really hope one day I can deal with it normally. I think I will always be addicted to food.
Three beautiful women!! Praying for you and your mom. I had a flare up of my food addiction last nite, and it was bad. But we can be thankful we have more good days than bad
