I want a jelly donut. And mashed potatoes. Not together mind you... just in general. I also want my clothes to continue to fit better. I don't care so much about the number on the scale as how my clothes fit and how my body looks and feels. That darn jelly donut sure would taste delicious though... *sigh*
I haven't done so well with keeping up with my calories lately. Possibly another reason why the number on the scale hasn't changed... hum.. I did eat better today though. I didn't eat a single candy bar from the gift shop (yesterday I think I ate two... maybe three) nor did I eat a single thing out of the vending machine, or that came out of a drive thru window. I really could go for some chick fil-a chicken strips right now too... can you tell I'm a little bit hungry? I'm not really. Maybe a little. but not really. I don't know why I'm craving so many things and I'm not even all that hungry.
I did eat a breakfast burrito this morning (homemade) and a kiwi fruit, followed by a snack of cocoa roast almonds, a banana, a protein fruit smoothie, and the ravioli from a healthy choice dinner (sans sauce) for "lunch". Oh and a raisin bagel. Just the bagel, no delicious cream cheese. Roughly 1400 calories for the day. Not too shaby. Now if I can just keep myself from breaking from now until the time I get home and go to bed...
Tomorrow is another run day - I've been reading some other runners' blogs and I feel like a slacker only running every other day. I know that it's important not to push myself too hard to start out though. I know I need recovery time, and to prevent myself from burning out... but I still feel like a slacker. I have to keep reminding myself that I am seeing progress, even though it is slow, it's still a lot more than I've seen in the past oh.. four years or so. After my morning run tomorrow is Sunday lunch at my brother's, he's making lasagna - then it's back to work. I am pleased that so far I've been able to still squeeze in "runs" during my on weeks at work. I use quotation marks around the word runs because they are still more like jog/walk/granny shuffle, but the granny in me is showing a little less now.
All of a sudden I'm rather tired. The idea of going to the grocery store now is looking less and less apealing, especially since I now know it's been raining all night, and continues to do so. That jelly donut isn't looking as good as my bed now. Sadly I still have to stop and get drinks for the dearest and something for him to be able to cook for himself tomorrow night while I'm at work. When I say something for him to cook - that means in the microwave. Just so you know. I'm not as good as I once was - I used to get up and cook dinner at 11 a.m. and have it ready for him to eat before I left to go to work, and before he came home. Yeah not so much anymore. However, he now spends more time at home than I do. This is my justification.
Wee! Eight more minutes and I get to go home! Er.. to the grocery store then home! Then to bed! Screw you jelly donut!
....and the mashed potatoes you rode in on.
