The Last Straw

I don’t think I have ever NOT wanted to run as badly as I did this morning. Oh my gosh. I delayed on every little detail. Put my shoes on. Sat. Tied them. Sat. Filled up water bottle. Stood in the kitchen and stared. Grumbling to myself the whole time. Then I drove up there [...]

Tonight was one of the seminars that go along with my 5k training thing that I am doing. This evening it was all about food/nutrition. The speaker is into the whole ph balance of foods and eating more alkaline foods and all that. A lot of it was interesting, but I am finding that it [...]

I made it to bed last night on my 1,213 calories. I was standing in the danger zone waiting on the dog to be ready to come back in and it was one of those moments. I could have scarfed down a lot of calories in that moment. And I seriously thought about it. But [...]

Dude. Joke’s on me this week. Last week I was all “meh” but my eating, running and water intake were all spot on. But you see, there are these evil forces in the universe that like to humiliate me and make me feel like a shmuck. And the evil forces are RAMPANT!!! I had that [...]

Sheesh, am I paying for yesterdays foodfest or WHAT?! It continued after my post yesterday, munching right up until bedtime. It was like I was determined for the whole day to be a bust. So I went to bed with my stomach actually hurting. And I woke up today with my stomach feeling sort of [...]

She partook of the earth’s bounty and it was good. She looked upon sunflower seeds and fresh pumpkin and roasted chicken and kale and bagel chips and cheese and craisins and cottage cheese and more sunflower seeds. She resteth from her calorie counting and measuring and setteth not a foot upon the track.
OMG, y’all. It [...]

I am with you guys. There should totally be a 3FC cruise. Yearly. There is a Cooking Light Cruise for those who could swing a week long cruise. It looks really nice and has that health/diet focus thing going on. I can’t do that one, though.  If I go, it will be in January probably. A [...]

I had a nice run with my group this morning. It was only two miles, so I should shoot for more calorie burn later but I don’t know if I will. What I would really like is to find a nice 3.1 non-hilly route to try. Our coach said we were doing a nine to [...]

So now I want to party!!! Maybe I should take Mom clubbing, ya think? Seriously, though, she is in great spirits and so am I. No, things aren’t perfect. She has evidence of several mini-strokes but basically there is nothing that really needs done or anything that could even be done. This doctor actually leans [...]

The “run” was more like a messy collage of little pieces of running mixed with big chunks of walking. Friday is usually slacker day anyway because I like to make sure that I am ready for a good run with my running group on Saturdays. There is friggin’ NOBODY to chat with up at the [...]
