So it’s official, I’m a “G” with my new 3G-phone from T-mobile. I think it’s officially called the My Touch, but whatev. I am normally not a fancy phone girl, but the blog has been blowing up and I’m so far from the fam so I thought it’d get one. I am excited:)
Now I can email, blog and tweet it up!
Follow me on Twitter because the mundane details of my day are super important – notice the sarcasm. No, you should follow me because I tweet things like – “I just showed my chonies to some random guy while getting out of my car.”
I did 5 miles this morning. Fridays used to be a rest day (before this training plan) for years. I don’t know about running the day before a long run, but I will stick with it for now.
Breakfast was this new find from TJ’s. I love Raisin Bran type of cereals and have been totally wanting some so I decided in the name of Intuitive Eating to go for it 🙂
I had a bowl with the above and Flax Plus, naner, PB and almond milk. I love cereal. Too much, probably…
All I want for lunch most of the time is PB&J – is that tragic? I only have other things for lunch because I make myself, but not today. AB&J, carrots and an apple 🙂 A lot of crunch in one meal! I ate at my desk and probably drove my co-workers wild with my CRUNCHING! Sorry ladies…
I left my camera in my car after an errand so here is a file pic of cherries – I also had a Kashi Trail Mix bar that was on sale at Target this week.
I walked to the mall for some “exercise” after work. By exercise I mean “shopping” 🙂 But, I came home empty-handed.
It was so hard to walk through the mall smelling Anne’s Pretzels, Cinnabon and fries when it’s dinner time! I resisted the urge to by dinner since I have so many leftovers at home.
Spanish rice and beans with cheese.
A salad with my fave dressing – hummus 🙂
After dinner I snacked on multiple mini-bowls of cereal. No pic since it was very mindless eating and I didn’t even realize the damage until now.
I cannot be left alone! When is Ben coming home!?!?!?
In other news…I decided I’m not fat today. Yep, I just decided it. I have been fat my entire life. I can’t tell you the last time (if ever) I didn’t feel fat or get super uncomfortable hearing a fat joke or glance with hatred at my legs in a reflection.
Today I was in my work bathroom and looked at myself and decided I’m going to stop thinking of myself as fat. I know this is not an overnight decision, but I do feel very strongly about it. Like with politics, sometimes I will have to listen to the other side and maybe even agree with them sometimes, but I am standing my ground on my new “Not Fat” policy.
What about you, is there anything you have decided about yourself? Is there something you should decide?
Love it sooooo much. You are actually not fat or big or big boned or thick or any of those things!!! So glad you decided that.
That’s a great decision to make. To me, it’s not about fat or thin, it’s about healthy, including what you eat, how you live, how you think. I’ve decided for a while now I’m healthy.
I’m glad that you came to that decision–it’s a good one! =)
I need to come to the decision that just because I have an extra crappy run, it doesn’t reflect on me as a person. I’m presently wallowing in self-hatred over my WAY less than stellar long run this AM.
what an awesome realization! i agree with other posters that strong is great word to use. i am slowly coming to the realization that i am smart and that i need to stop doubting myself so much
it’s great that you’ve decided that you’re not fat!!! i wish i knew how to do that too!
I use the word strong – I am strong. My body will run, it will bend itself into crazy yoga poses, it is a beatiful organic vechile that does amazing things everyday. Why degrade and belittle your body by calling it fat, when it does so much for you? I think you are making an amazing journy and the mental part is the most difficult. I am finally learning that not every woman needs to be a size 6 and I am finally accepting that having a tummy is okay. I have almost made the decision to stop weighing myself because it really is just a number and should have no bearing on my day.
Yay! of course you aren’t fat – so glad you realized today what all of your fab readers have known for a while 🙂
Love the new phone, very nice – and those spanish rice/beans – HOLY MMMMm!
you are NOT FAT!!! Great job with your decision. I hate that word “fat”. Everyone is different and it’s awful to criticize our bodies in that way. Sure I may feel “fat” next to my 92 lb stick thin roommate, but in no way am I fat. Sure I may be 15 pounds heavier than I was a few months ago, but still I am not fat! I need to keep reminding myself that everytime I look in the mirror and think that to myself. Way to be such an inspiration!
That is awesome! I have also decided something similar. I don’t want to be ‘skinny’ I would much rather be strong. My legs are a product of hard work and they are great!
i love your decision. you are so rad monica, i haven’t been commenting a lot lately because commenting from my phone is a pain, but i have been reading diligently and i have to say i am inspired by you~i need to make the decision that i am OK with having big legs. and that i will never have skinny chicken legs. still working on it. have a great weekend!
