Inspired.

So, I ate crap all weekend. Crap. Not even kidding. I ate so much on Sunday that I felt like I could have been popped. So gross.

Today, I'm back on track. Topped at just over 1300 calories for the day.

I didn't get a chance to spend much time at home this weekend, so I promised Lucy (well, as much as you can promise a dog, lol) a good, long walk tonight. Around 5, I headed out with her and as soon as my feet hit the pavement, I felt like running. We ran about 2 miles before I stopped and headed back. My sneakers make my feet sore like crazy. I think they're too big, so I'm going to add some insoles and see what happens. Anyway, I felt really good, especially knowing that I had no intentions of doing anything except a leisurely walk.

I'm sleeping in my running clothes tonight and am hoping I can force myself to get up tomorrow morning and just run a mile. 15 minutes in the morning and done. I have open house 'till late and was considering going to the gym between school and the open house, but I'm not sure if I'll feel like being gross for open house. We'll see. :)

I feel good when I'm back into running, so I'm thinking about possibly training for a 10K. After the Mega, I'm going to look into it a little more.

Milestone.

Tonight I ran the hill on Rosslaire Road. It's not a very long hill, but it's always been somewhat intimidating to me. I was running through my complex with Lucy and I thought that tonight just seemed like a good night to do it. And I did. Yay for me. :)

I've been on track these last two days like I've never been before, planning and logging EVERYTHING. I'm starting to feel like my old self again.

Struggle.

Honestly, it's been a struggle these past few weeks. I thought I had my head on my shoulders, but then we went to the beach and school started. It's been hard not to snack, get fast food for dinner, and be perfectly content sitting on the couch with a book at the end of the day.

My weight is up to 182, which, though it's still down 50 from when this all started, it's up almost 8 from my lowest at 174. I'm not too thrilled about that...

This week, I've made sure to schedule in workouts. I am going to do my best to get home by 4:30 from school this week. I have meal plans set up for Tuesday-Friday and I've got exercised scheduled tomorrow and Thursday. I'm planning on going right after my Wednesday meeting at school to run and Friday night, hopefully getting in some tennis.

I need to buckle down and work hard this month. The Mega is less than a month away.. eep!
