Confessions

<p>Hello everyone! I'm still around!! Life has been CRAZY, to say the least. There are so many things going on right now and in the midst of it all I let my running & eating go by the way-side. Bad, I know! Here are a few confessions, I need to get this off my chest! </p> <p>1. I've worked 60+ hours these past 2 weeks. <br />2. I've eaten whatever was most convenient, not the most healthy. <br />3. I haven't ran since May 9th. <br />4. I haven't been tracking my food. <br />5. I haven't stepped on the scale since May 12th when I had the 4lb loss. <br />6. I'm scared I've gained those 4lbs back & more. <br />7. I am scheduled to run a 20K in less than 2 weeks and I'm SO scared. <br />8. I leave on a 5 day work trip this Saturday. <br />9. I threw my husband a surprise birthday party and it was a huge success, he was totally surprised. <br />10. The bad thing about his party is that I ate TOO much! <br />11. My clothes are too tight. <br />12. I don't feel comfortable in my own skin. </p> <p>So that is my last 2 weeks in a nutshell! </p> <p>I wish there was a way to bottle up that determination I have at times to save for days where I have the "I just don't care" attitude". </p> <p>I have to find a happy medium. I don't not want my weight & health to be a roller coaster for the rest of my life. The only thing I can do right now is start again! And that is exactly my plan. So here is a recap of my day. </p> <p>I had left over <strong>fruit sala</strong>d for breakfast. Usually this is only 1 point for 1 cup, but I had a fairly large serving so I'm counting it for<strong> 2 points</strong>. You need to try this, it's SO good! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJGbVxj6pTEuq8lerXg0k9N2WuXb2JxtumCB8UPzNgI0Ig4Bt1EDtcyBKDAJDY6pAnw4lBpZ3mn6VhA-4pJUcfo30ZeOorhpf4cV5WZSrnARacXecCf5X7raNKGHvpEJ2r9R0SXVs1ylS9/s1600-h/DSC07382%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07382" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI1nng00788-xEhbihw2pjsiYERNcbjL97jDKkyQjJWl80LHZ0Ej0aZ2GkDeARz2PwoOkeSOrjezfmmEVf8_KrdrS0qCHlsuKwVDH9qpeMu7G9FXfBVRJzG2Kj9J9I_7m9Hy0XW17Or4JC/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07382" width="404" /></a></p> <p>    *3 c sliced fresh strawberries <br />    *1 c grapes (i sliced mine in half) <br />    *1 container of ff cool whip <br />    *1 sf instant vanilla pudding <br />    *1 can crushed pineapple <br />    *1 c marshmallows </p> <p>Later on in the morning I had my favorite snack of<strong> strawberry yogurt, 1/4c </strong><a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/02/few-updates.html"><strong>homemade granola</strong></a>, and <strong>1 1/2c strawberries</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn7e13TVO4Gjz9dqxRtppZN-2ZzajC5H7Dc0YUgaGzkVJnJHSur3mozbMcdj0SVrHuvzWu5QHjsJvqkz_bdvpp3RtQhNYIfzYtYZEWZ02HLA3PtBdrrKPVL780q6fvBcQ0dJlwMsEiroZb/s1600-h/DSC07383%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07383" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYCrLeJ_PG7kFtmAr0qLjHWgiXT_mzMsswgcVT4ae_Sxjg4Cd_Tq-3dp4K_GRZf35eG9Kjh_dNnzSYdHAo6W6mdsu-UVh91USxc5g9Gbs_M3f3VRqiNB9aDtNzbW1kNInxz-2TCHI0Ob-a/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07383" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I ran home for lunch today and had a <strong>turkey sandwich, 1/2c cottage cheese, steamed carrots</strong>, and <strong>1c fruit salad</strong> for a total of <strong>5 points</strong>.
