Day 20 something (Day 23) April 24, 2008

What the hell day is it?

Okay, it’s annoying as hell to write about the day before, the day after it’s happened. Sigh.

I wanted to thank everyone again for their comments. It’s making me feel like I’m not alone. And that I do have to answer to someone other than myself! When you are only answering for yourself, it’s easy to give yourself a break or two or twenty.

I have a total diet meltdown yesterday. I was like one of those bears trolling a campground for an open trailer with food in it. It was administrative pro’s day and there was a lot of bad food hanging around.

By 1 pm, my uncontrollable self had ingested one whole wheat bagel with jelly, a blueberry cake donut and an entire croissant with 2 little packets of butter. And I didn’t care.

By 3 pm, I realized that Aunt Flo was swooping in for a visit (7 days early) and that started to explain my total lust for CRAP!

So, I have had my splurge. Now, I have 4 full days to correct it. And they are going to be 4 full days of AF too. Yikes.

Tonight, I have a dinner for some bar association continuing education thing. The best option seemed to be the prime rib (other options were stuffed sole and chicken parm). So, let’s see how I do. I’ve only had 3 points so far today and I’m trying to figure out what to do for lunch.

What else??

Oh, yeah. Here’s a big thing!

I went on the treadmill this morning!! WAHOO!!

So, it wasn’t a full 30 minute workout, but I got up early (after hitting snooze 4-5 times) and got on the treadmill. It’s damn hard to do that. Sheesh. But I have to do it in the morning. I have to. I can’t believe I’ve been talking about running for so many weeks and on Day 23 of 53, I finally get something moving.
