Beating Back the Beast - Three weeks, two days.

It has been one week and one day since I last ate chocolate. I have been trialling different fruits in an attempt to give myself the energy I need to train. Some days are just harder than others. I have to admit the Beast has a way of playing with my ability to think and function at times at anywhere near my normal level. Nothing more awkward when I am trying to have a conversation with someone and my line of thought is whipped away because something else has caught my eye.

Talking to parents today who had brought their wee girl to class for the first time and watching the Sampei's take class. Constantly distracted by things happening in class. After my busy week last week the Beast is biting back. Loss of concentration and that connective tissue is nagging again. Days like this my commitment to this cause falters a little. I am still on track but combine lack of concentration with pain and you have a great recipe for shutdown. Thank goodness for class and the responsibility to fulfill commitments.

I also almost caved in and had chocolate. That fix to get me through the classes. But the thought of having gone through this week for nothing kept me on track. I could not face having to go through this last week all over again.

I have no appetite for food tonight so I think it will just be a couple of paleo sausages for me tonight. Not a balanced meal but I have no energy left to make a salad or to cook.

Tomorrow..... I hear you Scarlett...Tomorrow!
