Food. Bad Food
Food. Food. Food. Thats about all thats going on in my head right now. My sister ran the half marathon last year and she was telling me how her appetite went crazy as she got into longer runs and that she GAINED 8 pounds while everyone else was dropping rediculous weight from training. So here I am eatting everything in sight. Tomorrows weigh in cant be anything but bad. Yesterday I had done ok. Normal breakfast, ok lunch, went for a 5 mile run, good dinner, 2 chocolate chip cookies for a treat but I didnt over do it and have 5 like I sometimes do. The neighbors called and I went over to swim for a bit. Then I came home to unwind and watch a little tv before bed. A great day right? Wrong! That is when I decided to put an entire pizza in the oven (a big one) and eat half of it. So not just a healthy snack to make up for any additional needs my body may have with all this running but an entire second dinner. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Why am I doing this? I have worked so hard to get to where I am. I need to get a grip because Im already starting to pack the lbs back on.
Today is a day of rest exercisewise. I'll be going to a Tastefully Simple party, which is tons of food, however the stuff that they usually bring to sample are not the items that I love the most, except the beer bread. So I shouldnt do too bad. I'll have to purchase wisely though so I dont have all kinds of wonderful treats around the house that'll Ill just eat myself.
Focus, Julie! This isnt supposed to be easy. I have to be willing to do the hard work. That means not eatting all the junk food just because it sounds good! There, I said it. Maybe now I'll do it
