Starting over again.

I am starting over again. I have been running but after my trip I haven't been so motivated. I had a friend who wanted to go with me but she is still at a snails pace and I need to be running so that I can train for this half marathon in September. I am really lacking motivation though. I don't really want to run the race and I don't really have anyone with whom to train so I am suffering. I need to lose weight but I am gaining and I don't know if it is bloating or actual weight gain. it sucks either way but a little less if it is water weight. I have been researching quick, fad diets just to get me down quickly and then I would change things up to maintain properly but I just can't bring myself to do them. Common sense wins out. There really is no reason to waste my time doing something temporary. I think it would do more harm than good and overall I am pretty healthy and I don't want to screw that up. So, I did a HIIT run today. It wasn't very long or far and in the end it ended up not being very fast either but it got done. After that, I came home and watered my plants then went to my neighbor's house and lifted weights. My wrists are not liking me and frankly neither are my knees but once again, it got done. Now my friend wants me to do a kickboxing class with her tonight and I am considering it but I've already showered for the day. There's my excuse. I am tired and oddly enough, not hungry. I have been trying to drink a lot of water today because I have been getting headaches and feeling lightheaded. So on to hydrate. Hopefully it will cut down on how much I eat. I know I eat when I am thirsty and I even think that when I am looking for something to eat but I eat anyway. I need to get out of that habit now! I started something today and we'll see how it goes. I am trying out IF. I am going to do a cycle of 18/6 so we'll see what difference that makes. I also need to watch my calorie consumption because I have a tendency to over eat when I feel deprived. So here's hoping that all will work out.
