Back on track…
Okay, so it’s only day 2, but it’s all about the encouragement, right. Postive self-talk? And that is huge for me. Yes, I know the day isn’t over yet so I am being proactive in telling myself I am back on track to keep myself on track. Still following the Core Plan. I get 35 extra points during the week if I eat something that is not Core, but I haven’t used any yet.
Breakfast: this brown rice cereal thing I made last night… I won’t make it again. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t something I would want again.
Lunch: salad with lettuce, corn, kidney beans, tomatoes, salsa, fat free ranch dressing. Oh, and a short 5 minute nap.
Snack at work: apple
I still have to make it home, make dinner, and go running. I’m sure I will eat something while I cook dinner — one of my biggest problems — but I have celery at home, so I’ll probably crunch on that. Maybe put some PB2 on them. It’s only 1 points — or maybe 2, but not a lot. And it tastes just like peanut butter to me, so it’s like cheating but not.
I’m making Eggplant Lasagne tonight. If it’s good, I’ll post the recipe. I’ve never made it before — well, I’ve never made THIS eggplant lasagne. And I must go running again to stay on track. That way I can start week 2(again?) on Saturday. I’ll update later.

I did it again… stayed on track. The only thing I cheated on was garlic bread with dinner, but it was only 4 points but that’s okay because I still have 31 of my extra points avaliable
Dinner: Eggplant Lasagna again from the Fat Free Vegan Recipe Database. Again, if you are looking for something healthy and yummy that is the place to look. Anyway, it was good, but not really lasagne… more like casserole. No pasta obviously, but it was “soupier” than other eggplant lasagnas I have made. Maybe too much sauce? It was good though. I also had a salad with lettuce, spinach, grape tomatos and fat free Cesear Italian Dressing. Plus the garlic bread. I was HUNGRY though since I ran before i ate. Totally worth it.
I ran again.. I don’t know if I should have or not. That’s two days in a row with no rest, but I did okay. I tried to focus on the music during the running part, not the fact I was dying. It seemed easier today. I am wondering though if I am ready to go to week 2 on Saturday or if I should do week 1 again. Maybe I’ll try it (I mean, I did it the first time out accidently). I don’t know. Someone may need to talk me into it over the next few days. My legs are a little sore. I’ll definitely be taking some ibuprofin before I go to bed. Man, I feel so old. That’s the 3rd time I’ve done that this week.
Two days of rest coming up though. I want to do something during those days.. not just sit on my ass. I’ll probably do Debbie. That is if the kids let me……..

Have a great run! I am looking forward to that eggplant lasagne report. Back in the old days I used to love eggplant parmesan…fried and layered with plenty of cheese.

It will be interesting to see what other people think about moving on or staying. I was the “eternal week one-der” hee hee. Now I am taking my good ol’ time with week two. My 11th run will be Friday and I am probably going to do week two once more (or maybe twice?). You may not know until you head out next time whether you feel like doing week one or two. My approach is to take it slow, but on the other hand the lesser amount of intervals of week two is much better. Week 2 is a good place to hang out for a while, I think because week 3 doubles the runs from 90 seconds to three minutes. To me, that is a big jump!

THREE MINUTES!!! Omg, there is no way!! Yeah, I think week 2 might be a 2 weeker now that I know that. Although I’ll have to see how I do.
