Could've Been Better
... but also could've been worse (my eating yesterday). I was just under 1000 calories for the day when I left work to go to my book club. Then I had Indian food. Lots of Indian food. And wine. Lots of wine. And it was my off day (no running). Oh well. The good thing is that I hadn't gained any weight this morning. Hadn't lost either, but I'll take what I can get.
I have Pilates at lunch today, so I'll get a good stretching/toning workout in. Tonight is my speed workout (usually about a 4-mile run), which is one of my favorites because I do it with a group. I'm going to do my best to focus on eating well today. JUST SAY NO (to the Kit Kat)! Why does it have so much power over me? Sigh...
This weekend should be a good exercise weekend. I'm doing my long run (8 miles) on Saturday and going on a long hike (probably also about 8 miles) on Sunday. This should give you an idea of just how much I eat--with all the running and Pilates and hiking, I still GAIN WEIGHT.
BUT I'm going to focus on the positives today. I'm healthy. I'm strong. My heart and lungs are in good shape. I have an amazing fiance (God, it feels weird to say that), wonderful friends, and a great family. Life is good!
It's almost Friday...
