Hi everyone!! I’m looking for some advice (and motivation) as I’m feeling pretty discouraged :( I started marathon training at 20 weeks, and here we are 10 weeks out and I’ve fallen off hard. I’ve only done a few 5ks here and there. I’ve been able to keep up with strength training but I hit a heavy wall in running.

I’m scared that I’ve fallen way off and I’d have to start my progress all over. I know I should be up to 16 miles this week but the most I’ve done so far is 13 miles!!

Any tips/advice for picking up where I left off?

looking for a date night restaurant tonight! it’s my fiancé and i’s weekend basically and it’s my turn to choose a spot. And I’m not sure which to choose to surprise them!

I’m debating even going sober after this terrible relapse. I went to Coachella a couple weeks ago and prior to, I was putting in a lot of work health wise bc I was worried of how my body would feel afterwards. I had a stressful situation while at Coachella, got extremely drunk, came home and got sick. I began with bigger/“comforting” meals (at the time). And spending time with loved ones that I missed over the week. Those meals just continued to get bigger and resulted in me bingeing. I would say it was a result of going super hard working out, to a super high feeling/20k+ steps a day, to feeling super weak and not even being able to move my body. I just continued to self sabotage and now i can’t stop. Every waking moment I feel like stuffing myself. It’s not even food noise at this point, I just can’t stop.

I went to the gym yesterday and tried to go back to my healthy meals that I was doing before but it felt like not enough and I felt super weak and got home and binged the most I did all week. I’ve been feeling so insecure and depressed and anxious about it all week and I don’t know what to do!! I’m spiraling bad
