I want to run!

Today I am obsessed with redeeming myself after my Disney marathon! I want to run!! But, I know better than that, so for now I am obsessing over marathonguide.com looking for my next race 🙂

My plan for marathon redemption has to be smart because I don’t want to keep doing this to myself. These are my plans for now:

– Lose weight = hopefully this will making running easier and I will get faster naturally 🙂

– Focus on some half marys for a few months

– Sign up for a Fall or Winter marathon and train hard!

Intuitive Eating – Today it happened again – I got hungry again just an hour after lunch. I think part of my problem is I really want a decadent treat. I’ve been craving frozen yogurt and a chocolate chip cookie like crazy! But, since I don’t have any good treats in my house I end up scavenging through random stuff to feed my face.

My plan to keep treats out of the house only works if I make sure and give myself treats once a week. Also, I always indulge after a race and didn’t like up to my usual sinfulness after Disney because I wasn’t feeling well.

I think a trip to a bakery or a frozen yogurt shop – or both is in order!

Lunch was roasted brussels with onions – all I wanted was this, but I thought it wasn’t very balanced.IMG_4080

I also re-heated some of my super easy black bean soup and chips on the side.IMG_4082

I made a fancy fruit salad too. I’m sad that I bought three cantaloupes and they are not ripe at all. Doesn’t fruit salad remind you of summer? A girl can dream… Oh and, I added cottage cheese to this 🙂IMG_4087

In other happy news – I used up my frequent flyer miles and bought a ticket to Vegas for a bachelorette party – then I’m driving with the girls back to LA to spend a few days with my fam. It only cost me $9.00!!! Woo-hoo 🙂

Breathe – Ben and I made a Couple’s Resolution this year too! Time to hug it up 🙂

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      ooh do you know which autumn marathon you might do? I’m thinking about doing the Washington DC marine corps one! It’ll be my first one, and I’ll be coming all the way from England to do it lol!! 🙂
      You got good goals there too 🙂

      I crave M&M’s so what i might do is hide baggies of 10 each to treat myself with when I need them.

      Great resolution!!!

      As far as marathon redemption goes, please remember to still be proud of yourself for braving the elements and FINISHING! That is the #1 most important thing!

      you could also try making some healthy baked goods (think carrots and cake style) for that extra bit of hunger?
