To my relief yesterday's 15 minutes was just fine! One of the easiest runs yet. I drove myself up to Beuss Pond and ran around that. Two ladies were there with their dogs who barked at me--one lady said, "Now you let that lady run in peace!" It made me smile--at least they could tell I was running! After I finished, I walked a lap to cool down and happily it took more time to walk than it did to run. That's not something I take for granted--I'm truly that slow. Food-wise also good. I'll have to try the turtle cheesecake with real sugar. I used splenda and I think it made it too sweet. Today is easy because we're fasting today since we didn't last week. I'm making a porkchop reciepe that uses chocolate as an ingredient. I love to cook and try new things.
Otherwise, I weighed myself and I think the scale is stuck. Frustrating, not just that the journey is slow, but that I keep throwing away the gifts that it gives me. I was 184 AFTER Christmas, and did I take advantage of that? I did not. I was greedy and now I have to re-lose those pounds painfully and laboriously. Reading this blog shows that I do that over and over and over and over and over again. You'd think I'd learn, but I don't. I'm just I haven't given up altogether so I could catch the problem now, not after I'd thrown it away for months and found myself back up at 208 plus more.
Challenges this week are the work retreat tomorrow--lunch from Goodwood BBQ, plus a trip to SLC--which will mean dinner out (that's ok, I'll go to Pita Pit) and ice-cream from sub zero. Tuesday is Valentines--I won't pig out on chocolate, but we are ordering a heart pizza. I'll do my best not to go crazy with the problems, and to make sure everything else I eat is good and keep up the exercise. It won't stall me for long.
Tonight I'm grateful for:
Porkchops and new receipies
homemade biscuits
diet coke
chocolate chip cookies, dove chocolates and cheesecake--all of which I can have and still lose weight.
spices
variety
