"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I
don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my
life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car
with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night
laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want
to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe
tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and
I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad He gave life to
someone who loves the gift." --Shauna Neiquist

Week #3: A Review

Meh. :/

The Good: BESTIE IS HERE!!! Yeah, that doesn't really count, eh? Okay...I ate well for most of the week, even resisting the wicked munch-monster on Saturday. I'm pretty proud of that. I got all SIX workouts in!! Whew!! I also completed Week One of C25K. Woot, woot. Increased my sleep hours, which also seemed to help, especially in my workouts.


The Bad: Yesterday (although it was technically the first day of Week Four, I'm confessing my sins here.) was NOT a good food day. *sigh* Bestie arrived, which meant unusual food situations. Lunch at Cracker Barrel was ok...I had the veggie plate (I worry about hidden butter in the cooking though, and wasn't brave enough to ask). Had a couple granola bars on our hike in the afternoon that I probably could have done without, hehe. Supper was miso soup and sushi, which was amazing. No complaints there! My main sin came after supper: chocolate hazelnut fudge Coconut Bliss ice cream. SO good...dairy, soy, and sugar free (they use AGAVE!! WOOHOO!!), but still high in calories and fat. *sigh* That would have been bad enough, but then I had some salt and vinegar potato chips and 3 vegetable spring rolls. Social eating? Vacation mentality? Munch-monster? All of the above, probably. :/ Meh. Oh, and when I weighed in yesterday morning BEFORE all the crazy food, the scale had gone up. WHICH I was expecting, remember? Yeah, still a bummer. Meh.


A new week, a new day, ready to make better choices. Last night was an anomaly...not to be repeated any time soon. I've already gone for my run, had a banana, and started in on my water. Slate, consider yourself wiped clean. :)
