Accountability thread - October 14th-20th

Hey turtle. I'm really sorry to hear about your dog's diagnosis :( Especially since you initially thought it was not a huge problem, getting this news must be extra challenging. I'm really not sure what to say to help comfort you and apologize. I hope that with the precautions your pup is able to live a little happier and without pain.

Interestingly, my sister's dog was just diagnosed with a degenerative disease as well. He's okay at the moment but is expected to begin losing muscle mass and coordination. 

For you and her, it is really sad and will be hard to observe. I'm sorry and sending you a hug.

Despite your news, I am glad to hear that you and your husband shared a run together. Sometimes it is our challenging moments that bring us closer together. It is nice that you were able to run off some stress together.

Sounds like your diet has been going well. I'm sure it is the last thing on your mind, which in some ways is probably refreshing, but sad that it comes to getting unfortunate news to cause that.

Hoping that your weekend is a little brighter <3 and thanks for always being supportive to me!

Thursday 10/17

Nothing major to report from yesterday. Still proud of my workouts and improving, little by little. My runs have gotten about a minute slower, largely due to the drastic temperature drop. I also changed the route. This doesn't really bother me much, but something to be mindful of.

School/Work went well. I didn't have to do any drafting in the evening so I had some "free-time" which I used to play some video games and read. 

I'm aiming to be more responsible for the rest of the month. Just "buckling" down and doing it, eating right, spending right, and being the person I know I can be. I just need to work through the challenging emotions and discomfort, accept that being bored and lonely is okay, and that I don't need to fill that time with food. It only leads to disappointment.

I write this here again just to remind myself every bit more.

Thanks everyone and hope you have a nice day/weekend. I'm probably going to take a break from here on the weekend but hope to catch up Monday. Just trying to focus a little on myself and goals, and hopefully get back on track.
