4/2/10 - friday
I have really fallen off the "log what I eat" wagon. I have been horrible about using LoseIt and basically haven't cared much what I ate. Oh well. Some times it happens. I know I have to (want to?) get back on track. It's good for me. I am quickly approaching the end of my 20s. And it's only going to get harder from here on out. So Back I go. Less snacks! I love snacks. And snacking. And always having something to munch on when I need it (want it?). But that is not helping me maintain a weight for very long.
I went running last weekend around the neighborhood and needless to say, it kicked my ass. I can run on treadmills and around the track at the gym. But put me outside and I turn into a hopeless mess. I think I expected to do better after doing so well on the track. I am sure part of it is that when I am at the gym, I run with Chuck. I ran by myself and I think it's harder alone. Having someone there is a good motivator. (And a good insurance policy if you collapse into a pile of mush!)
I am hoping I can do this more often. I might get up tomorrow morning (weather permitting) and give it another go and see if I do better/worse/about the same. I'll only get better at it if I go more often. I should really go in the mornings before work. I leave late enough where I could make it work. Plus, runners always have cute, toned little bodies. I need a little more toning and a little less flopping. That would be nice! :)
Today I brought a lunch. Which is a good thing considering I ate out for lunch twice this week. I brought some leftover pasta we made the other day, some frozen corn, carrots, 3 cuties oranges and pickles. I'm not that concerned about the number of calories I have today. I just want to eat smaller amounts and more fruits and veggies.
I've also had a hard time enjoying water recently. I have gone back to drinking Crystal Light because at least I am drinking liquid. But I really need to get back on track with my water intake as well.
