Woozers Wednesday

Wednesday was not as successful food wise, but it was a great day.


Cute Boy and I did some work around the house and then stuffed our bellies with grilled steaks, asparagus, garlic potatoes and 2 beer! It was the beer and the steak that really upset the scales in the eating department. It was all good though. Good tasting and good mentally. It was hot as hades in my neck of the woods and that beer was just what I needed. Water would have been better for me, but wouldn't have tasted quite as good. ;)


I'm down to 3 days for the half marathon. That is crazy. I've not been training like I should be. Very afraid of aggravating the shin splints, so I'm just winging it. I mean no disrespect to those that train hours and hours hitting the street. I just can not muster the strength of character to hit the street, I'm that scared. I don't know what would be worse. Running this thing the way I am, on a wing and a prayer or running it with pain. It's a tough decision, but not one I can change now.


In other non running/eating related news. The Velda's Angels Relay for Life team has hit it's online fundraising goal of $1500! I'm uber excited about that! This event has been a lot of planning and a lot of work, but something that has been extremely rewarding. I'm blessed with the help and support of some amazing women. Some read the blog and some don't. You know who you are! In my head and in my heart - YOU ARE ROCK STARS!

Wednesday was a great day! Now to get going on Thursday and make it just a good.

Today

Day 1 was a success. Stayed within my points. Could have done better on the fruit and veggie intake.

I will take today as a victory and a good place to start over.

Goal Failure Although I'll Not Give Up

This is not going to be pretty, but here goes:

1. Drink 64 oz water daily - done Friday and Saturday. Not Sunday
2. Measure my foods. No more eyeballing it. - Done
3. 3 fruit or veggies daily. I should be getting a minimum of 5! - Done Friday and Saturday. Not Sunday
4. Only 1 Tim Horton's French Vanilla Iced Coffee per day, if at all. - 1 Friday. None Saturday. 3 Sunday. So, none on Monday. Is that fair?
5. Run at least every other day starting with my new running week of Monday. I'll update that on my Yankee Stadium Distance challenge - Can't wait until Tuesday. Ran Saturday!
6. Forgive myself for my lazy approach to my body. It breaks my heart, but I can not continue to mentally beat myself up anymore. It is detrimental to my emotional well being. - Doing okay so far!
7. Track my WW journal - Sunday was ridiculous, but I'm tracking!

I'm not overly surprised with how this weekend is playing out. I struggle when in the company of Cute Boy and I know this. I think things will be different when we're living together, but right now the food choices are the greatest at his house where I don't have control over my food choices. Thank goodness for the Caesar salad that could be counted as a vegetable.
