I jogged yet again yesterday, and I went further than I have been going. I usually only go .4 miles, but yesterday I went .6. I also did my pushups and some stretching when I made it home.
Earlier this week I jogged with Sara, and we went about a half mile. The mayflies are horrible, and it was drizzly, so I wore a hooded sweatshirt and jogged with my head down to avoied eating any bugs. BLEH! I kept pace with Sara--a 6 ft. tall college volleyball player, and I was very happy! The last time I jogged with her I had to stop and throw up. This time I stayed right behind her and stayed in step with her. Left right left right....
I have to make myself do some bit of jogging daily. I am telling myself that I have to start somewhere, and I can work my way up to a mile, then 2 if I keep trying. It's perfectly fine to start at a short and slow pace. I can't expect myself to wake up one day and run a 5k in 20 minutes. I'd quite possibly pass out.
Breakfast lately has been one single bowl of cereal instead of 2 bowls. If I want some ice cream, I'll have it. I bring two snacks for work--one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I also eat one sandwich for lunch and quit. Yesterday's dinner was baked asparagus and mashed cauliflower. I was definitely missing carbs and protein there...but it was filling enough that I didn't have to eat a thing the rest of the night. I had eaten a candybar and some brownie with ice cream at lunch !!!!
When I'm at home and I want something sweet I head for the pantry. When I get there, the only sweet thing I see is cereal--and I have to save that for breakfast. I have table sugar in there, but what on earth am I going to do other than eat it from a spoon? I know I have cake mixes, but I don't see them because they are 7 feet up in my kitchen cabinet, and baking them would require me to make a mess then clean the mess...so it is a great deterrent! I keep sugar free popsicles on hand, and I limit myself to 1 or maybe 2 a day. Otherwise they upset my stomach REALLY REALLY BAD. I have some skinny cow white chocolate mint truffle 100 calorie ice cream bars. I had one the day I bought them, but I can't bring myself to eat the rest yet because I don't want to run out in the event of a major craving!!! I allow myself one cup of half-caff coffee in the morning with a generous amount of creamer...right now I am really in love with the International Delight Almond Joy creamer....
When I venture down to the in-laws I head straight for the pantry and dig into pop tarts and pringles...soo good!
