Really not expecting good news on the scale tomorrow.

Went running this evening. Almost skipped it, but I'd already missed twice this week. That's the worst I've done since I began this journey. It was a hard run. One of the most difficult since I started. From the first step I was heavy, slow, clumsy. Likely had something to do with having had little sleep the past two nights, combined with poor diet choices this week, two missed runs... that and I ran a longer route than I've done in a while to make up for the crappy eating (4+ miles). It was hot. It never cooled down. Even the breeze was warm. The pavement radiated heat. I took three walk breaks from corner to corner. I just didn't have it in me to keep going. Ugh. I've got to catch the fire again. Is this really all I have?

I am sooooo tired. Having trouble waking up this morning. Completely slept through the kids getting ready for school.

breakfast:
honey bunches of oats

Went camping with the family. Missed my run. Ate horribly.

The baby foiled my plans for a run this morning, and Stuart making pancakes foiled my plans for a good breakfast. Lets see what I can do with the rest of the day. I'm having a hard time staying on track. The fire is dwindling. I need something to get it going again. Which is weird because I'm still incredibly fat!

Did alright eating. Ran 3+ miles this evening. I'd like to improve my speed and increase my duration. How to do that???

Ran 3.2 miles this morning. Walked another .4. Ate well in the morning, crappy the rest of the day; cheeseburger, cookie, pizza, rootbeer, carrots-- wait! Carrots are good! Try to do better tomorrow. I think my stomach is growing hourly.

Weigh-in #17

I've slacked off on posting. Partly because I'm bored of posting everything I eat, and partly because I'm trying to spend less time on the computer. If I get on for one little thing, I end up staying on forever.

So...weigh-in today. Lost 1 lb. It's a pound in the right direction. I really can't complain. My eating has gotten a bit indulgent, and my workouts have been shorter. I'm going to have to increase my distance to get a long enough workout it. I'm running 3-3.5 miles in around 35 minutes.

Important to note: I ran my first 5k race this past Saturday! I've made a big step to my original fitness goal. My time was 33:35 minutes, and I wasn't last! I wrote about it more in my regular blog.

So... I need to set some more goals to get me back on track. I'm still working, but I'm loosing the fire. Which is sad. Even though I look better, I still don't look good. Still fat. I missed my run this morning, didn't eat well, and my husband still isn't home, so I may not be running this evening either (It's after 10p. I've been holding out for an outdoor run). The weight going to come off slower and slower at this rate.

I'm so tired! I went to bed a little later than I'd hoped, but I slept in until 8:30. That should be enough sleep, but I'm exhausted.

breakfast:
cheerios w/honey
1% milk
banana

snack:
6 almonds

lunch:
six crackers with cheese and turkey

snack:
frosted mini wheats
1% milk

dinner:
meatloaf
carrots
potatoes
(I caved and had seconds!)

later:
3 bites of Chloe's Oreo shake

I didn't get on the treadmill until 10 pm again this evening. I tried one of the 30 minute programs the treadmill has. That 30 minutes included the warm-up and cool down. It had inclines, and speed changes. It was shorter than normal, only took me 2 miles, and burned only 300 calories, but it sure made the time on the treadmill pass a lot quicker. I'll have to play with the programs some more when I'm stuck indoors. However, I need to be outside as much as I can be. School starts next week. The nice days are numbered. The problem with running at night is that I'm mentally alert afterwards. I end up staying up late and being tired the next day. Not a good cycle to be on.
