OK lets start with the bad news.
So two nights ago... so Wednesday night. Josh and I went to see a house with a realtor on a whim. It was the worst house ever.... vagrants, and break ins, and sheriffs sale ...OH MY! So needless to say we didn't like the house. But we didn't get home till really late and Davie had already eaten at Josh's parents house. So we ordered Pizza with Hot Cherry peppers and 1/2 Sausage..... SOOO good. One piece wouldn't have been that big a deal... but by 3 and my stomach was trying to escape I knew that I had really messed up....
But the Pizza got its revenge... my stomach has hurt since then... think its all the hot peppers.
On to the good news.
Yesterday I was a good girl about food. Two eggs for breakfast, a grilled asparagus sandwich for lunch, and a correct portion of spaghetti for dinner... YUM YUM . Then after dinner Josh and I geared up for our run.
It was quite chilly last night so we bundled Davie up good. I used my Ipod touch (which my mom so kindly gave me) and can be played through an internal speaker so that Davie got to hear music as we ran too. I did note that running in the cold isn't fun because it really hurt your lungs.... maybe I don't breathe right... but if anyone knows how to fix this tell me. So I hope this doesn't become one of my excuses down the road.....
But after the run I felt accomplished and continued to walk with Davie around the park for about 20 minutes. So it was a great effort over all.
Now the Common Sense.
Put this in your book of things not to do before running...
DON'T EAT A SPAGHETTI DINNER WITH A GLASS OF MILK THEN RUN!
I didn't get sick but it was definitely like the Office episode when Micheal carbo loads with Fettuccine Alfredo right before running and has fettuccine mouth the whole time.. Not fun..
Today still doing good food wise.
2 eggs breakfast & a 100 calorie pack of whole grain fig newtons.
A slim fast meal bar, non-fat yogurt, and diet coke for lunch...
Though the killer is gonna be tonight.. we have a wedding to go to.
Free Food... Free Drinks... I cant resist. Its gonna be calorie city. Then Tomorrow we have a baseball game in the Box.... meaning more Free Food and more Free Drinks. I think this is god's funny joke... Jess started another Diet lets wave all this tempting goodness in front of her.
So I think I'm going to try and only have 2 drinks tonight, not eat during cocktail hour, and eat a half portion of dinner... Go in with a plan come out fairing better then just giving up for the night.
While I'm here does anyone have any hints on what I should eat.... I'm SO terrified of food whenever I diet that I end up going into the store and not buying anything because I get freaked out... so I start living on water and 100 calorie packs lol.. I mean I know to eat healthy stuff but most of the time for lunch I just grab something easy and I cook easy because I get home so late and have to cook quick for Davie.
That's is for one more post I'll let you know how the wedding and baseball challenges go.

ReplyDeleteAnd doctors and me arent friends.. so ill live with tums on hand for a while.
I really recommend getting a healthy cookbook. It'll give you great ideas and show the foundations of a good diet. If you'd like I can lend you my WW cookbooks. There are some genuinely tasty things in it that don't take long to prepare.
