Me either I'd much rather not but they will not take no for an answer. They agreed to only 3 miles. It'll be my fastest time ever I bet

And thanks for the encouragement

Not feeling well today. Was nauseated all morning and was finally just able to eat.

Workout will not happen today. Will do a longer run tomorrow to make up for it.

EDIT: I have cleaned the leftover junk (aka Christmas goodies)out of my cabinets. It's in a trash bag in the shed No more B.S.

although you'll probably still have junk days, it might be a bit more discouraging if it's not right in the house. I find that if I have to go out in the cold to get it, I usually opt not to.

hope you get feeling better hun!

Thanks girl! Whatever it was seems to have passed! I think it was a blessing in disguise because I would have been running outside in 35 MPH winds..... My dog wont even go out to potty! lol

Hi NT! I normally do not keep that crap in the house but it was gifts from clients. It's now all gone..every last bit of crap in the trash.

Hiya Hammer!

Tell you the truth, I wouldn't even have a heartbeat in that weather!


Otherwise! I love your journal and I really am glad you're back!

Good Morning Hammer

Still feeling better I hope

Morning and happy Saturday I join you from NW Indiana...home of the freezing rain I REALLY wanted to run outside this weekend so fingers crossed for tomorrow. I've had a really bad week but I'm planning today for next week's meals. I've also decided to take no cheats for two weeks. That will jump start things again and clean out the crap from my system. It will also put me ready to start fresh with half marathon training.

More soon.....Abby is pacing so outside we go

01/18/04:

It's Sunday, the COLTS are going to kick some bootay edit: they bit it!!! and we are having some rough lake effect snow! I'm starting a detox of sorts this week..nothing outrageous but it will involve no cheat day for two weeks. My hope with that is that I will be content with one cheat meal a week after that. It will be on days with long runs (which start on Feb 07.) Stocked the kitchen and cleaned out any remaining processed crap that remained.

Meals:
#1: 4oz lean beef, 1/2c black beans, 1/2c diced tomatos, 2oz mozz cheese
#2: string cheese (1), 1oz almonds
#3: same as one but added 2 c greens
#4: 1c Carb Countdown milk, 1T PB


Meals are way off today....did eat until 1pm today so there will only be two or three today.

No workout today.

Okay..I tried the carb countdown milk. It reminds me of the powdered milk we drank as kids when we were out of "real" milk. Not bad and will work to satisfy milk cravings

More friggin snow! It's pretty but I do not like having to be out in it!!!

01/19/04:

Meals
#1: 2 eggs, 1/2c mushrooms, 1c skim milk
#2: 1oz almonds
#3: chx caesar salad, 1 breadstick
#4: SF fudgesicle
#5: 4oz lean beef, 1/2c black beans, 1/2c tomato, 1oz mozz, 2T light sour cream, 2c greens
#6: 1/2c SF pudding


Probably no workout..maybe upper body at home. I have to clean house tonight...deep cleaning so that may be it!

01/21/04:

I'm struggling, work is not ideal right now and I got bumped to the second page

I could really use someone that is willing to help me get my head surgically removed from my tail end. I need to get myself out of "diet" mode and stop obsessing about food.

But the good news..I got a really cute haircut (ala Alyssa Milano)

Meals
1: 2 slices high prot/WW bread, 1T PB, 1T SF jam, 1c milk

3: 1/2c oats, 1/8c pecans, 1c milk

EDIT:

Treat: 2T cool whip (shared with doggie..really it was her treat but I got some)

I'm tired of my own bs, excuses and unmotivatedness (is that a word?) I am MAKING myself weigh in on Saturday morning. I am MAKING myself run outside next week and MAKING myself get over it

Side bar: I've gotten so many compliments about my hair today that my head now officially does not fit through the door

Hi honey, just bumping this up for ya, I want to hear about your marathon training, plus I just wanted to say hello

Hey girl We actually start training next weekend. Thank goodness! It's been 30 below windchill all week and the snow keeps coming in barrels! Who knew it could snow being that cold!

This past week was good. Back where I need to be with my nutrition and not being obsessive. Scale is again on a downward shift (2lbs this week.) Just read my last post..lmao at myself! I am over it though but still not outside running!

I must get ready for church! I love singing in church....with everyone else around me I sound good

Hey Hammer, good to have you back

Training for the half marathon started this morning to the tune of 2 inches of snow! The buggers bet that I wouldn't come (I've nicely avoided running outside since November!) I promised that I'd brave the weather when the program started.

It was a nice and easy 4 mile run in 2 inches of snow and wind. Overall not bad though! I feel good but I am chilled to the bone (sitting in my fuzzy robe now) and am heading for a warm shower.

I will be enjoying some oatmeal pancakes very soon too

HAPPY SATURDAY!!

Hey sweets!

I keep forgetting to pick up a new training log so I'm tracking here until I get one
