hun·gry [huhng-gree]: having a desire, craving, or need for food; feeling hunger.

Today was rough... I was hungry ALL day. I could not satiate my deep yearning for food. It is the only thing I thought about all day. Food. I ended up eating my lunch before 10:30 which somehow left me even more hungry. Luckily, I pulled through and got a second lunch within my calorie budget, after that I was still starving but I put my stomach on the back burner and made it wait until dinner.

Lets talk moves here... I said today was rough and I meant it. I could barely walk this morning because of my foot issue and the soreness from the great Jillian.  By lunch I was determined to have a rest day today. When I got home the hub committed to a run and so I agreed to take part.

I ended up jogging one mile straight. It wasnt great but it wasnt horrible either. I am glad I did it. I feel good. I really thought that in my current state I wouldnt be able to "run" a mile straight and I did it this evening with ease. 

The next three months.

If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else


Month of November- stay 100% within calories every day, yes even (especially) November 22nd.
By January 1- Be able to run 2.5 miles easy.
January- Start and stay with half marathon training at least 4 days a week.

You might note that these goals are not weight related. Although I will be weighing in weekly, I am not going to focus on that number but instead on my fitness and eating. Staying within my calories and training for the half will keep my weight under control.

This is not a game. This is my life and I will live it healthily.

To accomplish throughout the day.

body over mind..

189.9
When I stepped on the scale this morning, it hit me.. HARD! That number does not feel good, its not healthy and its not happy. I will never, ever be in the 190's again... luckily this time I caught it .1 of a pound away. I love my body. I will take care of it. I will worship it. This is the one thing I have control over, this is the one thing in my life I can change.  I want to look good naked. I want to want to be touched. This is not going to be easy, but most things that are worth having are worth working for. Here's to getting back to the 150's-- and staying there-- for good, for life.

I will stick to this if for the very reason that I dont want to ever have a first workout again. Is it just me or does every cell of your body scream with torture on that first day. My goal was to do a mile, walking and running, I made it to one mile. No it didnt feel good, I didnt like it.. but I will take pride in knowing that I did something today that helped my body be the best it can be. And truth be told- It is kind of liberating to overpower your mind and keep jogging. I am physically able, its my mind that is telling my body no... "well guess what mind.. F**K YOU!  You have been the only thing we've listened to for the past 2 years and look where your chocolate milkshake addiction has gotten us.  From now on, this is a joint venture between you and the body. "

The Plan.

Its time to get healthy.

There will be no more reminiscing on when I was fit and healthy. I will not look back, I am looking forward and each and every choice I make right now, in this very moment will help me to get where I want to go.

I am ready and willing to make this work. 

Food Finds- In the past it has seemed like just too much research and "work" to eat healthy. I get home from work and want something quick and easy. I am going to use these lists to help me plan and prepare my meals.
