6 days off running

[boxing4ever]

ok guys I havent ran since last Tuesday. problem is I used to be overweight since the age of 9 and now im finally back to a normal/good shape and I love it! But i feel very very guilty when i skip a roadwork run. I also feel terrible after having something im not suppose to have like bad food such as cake,junk food,a pop. I dont have bad food often maybee once a week ill have a Pepsi and a slice of cake or ever 2 weeks. When the weekdays are here though from Monday till the weekend I have a almost perfect diet. I run 3-4 times a week, whenever I skip a run I feel terrible and fat(yes i know its weird). But today I came home late and I usually run at night and my mom refused to let me leave and run, not to mention I havent ran in 6 days due to this now I cant run till tomorrow which counts as a full week. anyway I just feel guilty and pist off right now. Can anyone relate to this feeling? BTW I weigh 158 and im 5"7 1/2 tall.

Don't stress
I know how you feel.

I normally run every day, but I haven't run since last Wednesday.
I could feel a cold coming on and also had a couple of late nights last week and I had trouble getting up early. I am about to head off to the gym for a workout and some sparring so thats something. I am going to run tomorrow.

Don't feel to bad, it's good for your body to take a break now and then.

like DMC said its good to take a break now and then, you could knacker yourself if you try and stay in amazing shape all the time. I know what you mean though cos I don't train weekends and I always feel guilty by the time monday comes around, like I have to make up for it!

I dont see a problem with anything you do. Your body could use some time to relax from the constant pounding of running.

And its always good to throw in a cheat day every now and then, as long as you dont gourge yourself, and it doesnt look like you are.

Keep up the good work man.

I've been really working out a lot for the past three or four weeks. I was running and getting good workouts but I was taking one day off a week and it killed me. I would eat badly and everything. Use a motivation to stay in shape. I ran 3 miles yesterday and I'm going to lift today I'm doing situps and pushups every night. Just remember the feeling after a good workout is just as good or better than the feeling you get from eating junk food.

No problem boxing4ever.

I was a fat guy and I have lost allot of weight in the last 4 months, believe me a day now and then are not going to see you back being overweight again.
Just stick to what you have been doing and think of the slack days as a reward for the hard work you have put in.
Don't forget all the weight you had took years to build up, a couple of days isn't going to bring it back

Keep up the good work
