What a Week

This has been an absolutely crazy. 
It started on Monday night when I broke my arm. A nice fifteen pound dumbbell fell onto my arm. It wasn't my smartest moment.  It's just a hairline fracture, so it should heal quickly. But the pain meds have left me in a groggy mess. I'm feeling better today, so I can stop taking them.  I'm a day behind on my mileage goals for this week, so I will have to make that up in the next few days if I am able. Getting into that sports bra one armed is.... Interesting. 

In other news, I asked my husband to hide our scale. 
Let me get this out there. I have an eating disorder. This disorder is made worse by the obsessing I do over the scale. Somedays I weigh myself 20-30 times. And I am so much more than a scale. 
Instead of focusing on that number, I plan to keep on working towards my running goals, eating within my calorie range, and adding more lifting to my regime. 
I have faith that those things will only add to my health. 
It's time for me to heal. 
I will weigh in once a month, then have the scale taken away again. I will be focusing on how I feel and how my clothes feel on me. 
Wish me luck.
