Happy Humpday :) This morning when I woke up I did NOT want to run. I don't really know why, I just didn't feel like I had a lot of energy, but I knew if I skipped out I would regret it later & wouldn't have time to do it. So, I set out on a 7 miler. I am not going to lie and say that I loved ... Read More about Donde esta mis azucar?

Fat Tuesday – my kinda day
I started the day with a huge bowl of cereal. After I eat the biggest bowl of cereal I am not as full as when I eat a normal bowl of oats. Oats are so much more filling. Since I was still hungryI had a piece of bread with PB. What a pretty lunch! Look at these strawberries and blueberries :) I ... Read More about Fat Tuesday – my kinda day
FAT Tuesday!
Happy Fat Tuesday! I am excited because I have a co-worker/friend from New Orleans (she came out to CA after Katrina) and she ordered King Cake from a local bakery for everyone in the office.

To run or not to run…
After 11 miles on Saturday morning I was soooo hungry - I got used to eating before my long runs and was super hungry and thirsty by mile 8!

Day 2 – More lessons
On Day 2 of my personal challenge I learned even more, like: 1. Stop fucking eating chocolate after lunch 2. Don't eat paper ( more on that to come) I started the day with my OG oatmeal.

Day 2
Day 2 tips - Write it down, basically make a food journal to keep track of what you're eating. This is really hard for me to do because it just reminds me of my super restriction days and I can't help but rebel and want to act out threw a binge. I may give it a whirl, but I'm not sure. Day 2 Plan ... Read More about Day 2
Day 1 – Lesson Learned
So, I learned a lot in Day 1 of the 21 day makeover. - Planning is good! I haven't been planning my meals so it was different to already know what I was going to eat. What did work was I had food that needed to be eaten before my planned menu and I didn't want it to go bad so I changed it up a bit. ... Read More about Day 1 – Lesson Learned

Melting 2x
It was raining AGAIN this morning when I woke up, but I was determined to not let that stop me. Actually by the time I went out to run it stopped and didn't start up again until I was less than a half mile from home :) I think people around my neighborhood think I'm crazy for running in the rain. ...

Candy is gone, but no pics to prove it.
It was pouring this morning, so I didn't run and went to the gym instead. I really don't like the gym so, you know it had to be raining pretty hard to get me there as a last resort. Then, on the way there I saw a guy running and I was sad :( He's way more hardcore than me! I ended up doing that step ... Read More about Candy is gone, but no pics to prove it.
