Cold Turkey & Race Depression

Uncategorized

20 Apr

Even though the Half Marathon is about 13 days away I’m kinda disappointed that I don’t have a full Marathon planned for the near future. I decided against signed up for the RnR SD because I wouldn’t have been ready in time, training for a marathon while planning a wedding & running a full mary 20 days before my wedding was just too much. But, I’m still sad about it. So, I really need to pick my next race so I can feel some purpose to my running…I’ll be announcing that soon.

Run – This morning I did 5.7 miles.

Bridal Expo – Cake samples, which made me happy 🙂 But overall it was lame, just a bunch of random vendors trying to get you on their mailing lists.

I was running super late this morning since I didn’t realize I was taking Matt to school. Before I left I had my usual oats. I have added up the ingredients and it’s about 400 calories. The RD wants me to hit about 600 with breakfast, but I don’t feel comfortable with that so I’m shooting for 500. But, I don’t know what to add that’s 100 cals – I was thinking protein powder to my oats or an egg? I have to change up my breakfast anyways since it was too hot here for warm oats today!!! I’ll be switching to overnight oats and cereal soon 🙂 dscn7870

Cold Turkey – I came home yesterday and once again randomly snacked on too many things to remember. I was supposed to keep track of all of this for the RD, but the habits are so ingrained I am really struggling with it. She said it was fine for me to continue to snack, but I should eat at the table so I can keep track of what I’m eating.

I think the problem is too big for me just to make a little adjustment like that. I have tried to do this after our first appt too, but was not successful. I’m going to try and quit cold turkey. Wish me luck!

When I went to register this weekend at Crate & Barrel  I finally found those cute little spoons that are regulars in blog land!dscn7845

    LOL, yeah, I learned the same thing about Bridal Expos last year when planning my wedding. Not so great, but kinda ok.

    Wow 13 days?!

    Hey if you get a sec tomorrow, swing by my blog to check out the auction/bake sale I’m hosting to raise $$ to fight cancer.

    Now I know why you are struggling with the RD – my breakfast is a packet of instant oatmeal, then I usually have two pieces of fruit by lunch. It’s rare than I hit 400 calories by lunch time. I know they say you should eat a big breakfast in the morning, but I think that would just make me eat more throughout the day!

    Love the spoon! The only reason I ever had for going to bridal expos really was the free samples. And I don’t even like cake that much…but free cake just tastes better.

    1 more scoop of PB would be 100! or dry roasted almonds (which i personally think are heaven on earth, lol).
