Oh Yeah, I Binged

So yesterday's purchase at the grocery store (the macaroni salad) was a big huge mistake.  Not only did I have a bowl of goodness at lunch, I had one later in the afternoon and then again at dinner.

I knew I couldn't pass the binge test.  Today is day 28 of my Lent Challenge (no binging).  I went 17 days without another binge.  I'm pretty disappointed in myself and my lack of self control.  But, on the flip side, I'm pretty happy it wasn't worse.  Usually, that container would have been gone, but I made it last.  And now that I've gotten the craving out of my system, I can move on.  LOL

I somehow hurt my back yesterday (it just happened to occur when I was folding laundry - so clearly laundry is a toxic chore) and I suffered all day and all night.  I didn't sleep well, so I went to the doctor this morning and she prescribed a pain killer and a muscle relaxer.  I've never had a lot of luck with muscle relaxers, but I'm seriously hoping it works this time.  I just can't handle this type of pain anymore.  Must be an age thing.  LOL
 

I guess this means I won't be running for a few days.  I'm worried this will set me back, just when I was getting good distance, but that's okay.  I just need to keep reminding myself that I have until July to get my distance and pace up to par and that if it takes awhile, it's okay.  :)  I'm far too hard on myself, especially because I compare myself to others and their accomplishments.

YOUR TURN: What's the worst kind of pain you've felt?  I've given birth three times and never got the epidural with any of them.  They tried with Brandon, but it didn't take effect.  It wasn't offered at the hospital when I had Kaiden and I was too far along for them to get it in the right spot when I had Ben.  They hit my nerve when they tried to administer it with Ben - that was a horrible feeling as well!
