The Divorce Diet.

They should bottle this stuff up.

I have lost so much weight, and probably way more than I need...But my energy is depleted and i'm exhausted! I can not wait until my kids are back to school next week so I can focus on myself as far as nutrition and hydration. (Im not totally selfish, I just need to take care of myself so I can take care of my children)


Last nights group run was tough for me, about 5.5 miles, not a difficult distance or route but I was so tired. The weather was 106 degrees but the sun has started to go down earlier so we didn't hit any of it, completely shaded! Dumped water all over myself, and I was suddenly recharged. None the less I finished, not my best, but not my worst run. I finished, with a smile as always.

Running, makes me happy. Unless the group is chatting it up, my mind is free and clear of everything.
I just run. It's probably the best thing I could have possibly started doing for myself, which I have failed to do really anything for myself for the last 6 years of marriage.

I let being a mom and wife define me. I AM STILL ME.
It has taken me a very long time to realize who I am, and what I want and deserve.
I am still learning who "me" is..
Its my time to make myself happy, because I am all I have in the end....

Luckily things aren't ugly between the soon to be ex and I. He is supportive of my running, which I NEED to get me through life right now.
