Its friday...thank goodness! And I'm a couple days from weighing in and for the first time, I am excited about doing it. I have been eating pretty well. This week, I have cut out the endless snacking. Which has worked wonders for the scale, but I can also tell in my runs how much more energy I have. Usually the snacks I ate didnt consist of any nutritional value and were laden with sugar...because I love sugar and carbs! But I have been having three healthy meals a day. Which works better then having 5 meals for me due to my horrible snacking habits. Breakfast, lunch and dinner thats all I need. And found out this week, I'm not really hungry during the times I used to snack...which confirms that I need to remain aware of my emotional eating habits.
Next week, I get to work on my carb and sugar intake. Although, I'm not snacking right now, I do love ending my dinner with desert everyday. And I'm still a sucker for bread. I would ultimately love to switch from regular bread to Eziekel bread and lower my carb intake completely. I would also like to chose one sweet thing a week (kinda like a weekend treat or something). I'm proud of myself this week because instead of knocking down a pint of ice cream or a huge rice crispy bar made for two or three, I decided to purchase the mini one serving size ice cream. They are pricey, but the good news is its one serving and tastes delicious and then I move on with my day. Yesterday I had a 1/2 of rice crispy bar and usually it would be a large one (big enough for two people). So it feels good that I'm making changes...the turtle wins the race...and keeps the weight off!!
As far as running, it as been nice. Yesterday was a little difficult because I was tired from school the night before, but felt good when I finished. This Saturday I do my long run and downloaded some cool new tunes to get me through it. Sunday, I get to start weights. I'm a little anxious about this...I think I already mentioned I hate weights! I would rather walk barefoot on hot coals. But realize its needed...
But other than this, things are progressing for the better and I'm liking the pace of things...
