rollin'
well i'm so excited that i'm going to give the big news first.
i ran FIVE MILES on the treadmill at the gym. yup. 5 whole miles. to some of you that is probably not so big of a deal, but i haven't run that far in, oh, years, so i'm pretty psyched. you might even say that i am stoked.
so. how about that.
anyway.
today is october 3.
weight is goal + 18
still moving in the right direction!
what i ate:
breakfast: go lean crunch with skim milk (245), coffee with skim & splenda (30)
lunch: palak paneer (240), spinach & tomato salad (60), cherry zero coke (0)
snack: nectarine (60)
other snack: apple (60) and string cheese (70)
dinner: a luna bar (180)
so, not quite enough calories today. but i didn't get home until after 8, and at that point i didn't really feel like eating a whole lot. yes, it is me that just said that. i just said the words, i didn't really feel like eating a whole lot. which is quite possibly the first time i have EVER said those words.
one thing that boggles my mind. is when people get a cookie or a brownie or something, and only eat part of it. they throw the other part away!! or give it to someone else!! i ask myself, how can they do this? how can they have deliciousness right there in front of them and not be compelled to finish it? why do i not have this ability? should we get into the psychology of this all? i think not. i think maybe i just need to convince myself that this particular cookie (hypothetical cookie, of course) is not the last cookie i will ever see. therefore, if i don't finish it, i am not wasting the LAST COOKIE EVER and i am not a bad person.
at target tonight i bought a new package of string cheese. new brand. usually i buy kraft 2% but they didn't have it, so i bought the cheese head kind. or something like that. i'm skeptical. i'll keep you posted.
the other thing i bought was two new boxes of crystal light single serve drink mix packets. in two new flavors. cherry pomegranate (how delicious is that?) and wild strawberry. make that, wild strawberry with caffeine. which should be an adventure.
the other other thing i bought was a new case of cherry zero coke. i know some of you out there are newly and vehemently anti-soda, but me, i dig that stuff.
i also bought gum. a lot of gum. like, creepy-girl-who-lives-in-her-parents'-basement a lot. but hey, it kills the cravings.
cheers!
