Cravings and emotions

Yesterday was a hard day for me. I was tired, didn't feel like moving as much as I should. I just felt off. So by the end of my shift I was really just looking forward to my dinner. Which I suddenly remembered was in the car. No way it survived the 104 degree heat. I was bummed. But I quickly remembered the treat I bought the other night. I went to get it from my bag at work and it was gone. My whole bag. Another girl has a similar bag and sure enough hers was there. I was upset but sent her a text and she said sh would bring it back today (which she did). But I wanted my treat now!

My latest obsession

I went to a few stores but these thing are hit and miss...nothing. I so badly just wanted to buy some mojos and chicken tenders. I knew that would blow my calories for the day, so I resisted and settled for a bagel and cream cheese. I am happy I didn't give in. But I really need to work on not letting food (or the lack thereof) control me. I didn't get one meal I wanted or on time; at least I got lunch and breakfast. Some people aren't that lucky and they don't cry about it. I need to be more grounded and realize its just food.

Burned 2137

Total deficit of 1172 and some races

More races

So I looked up some races just to see what was out there and to try and plan out my goals. I'm a little nervous to list them here but understand that this will all depend on how my first 5K goes. This is ambitious and challenging. I want to push myself but I also want to be safe. Anyways here's the breakdown

*October 6- 5K (3.1 Miles)
*November 10- 5K
*Dec 1- 5K
*Dec 15- 12K (7.5 Miles)
*Jan 20- 1/2 Marathon (13.1 Miles)

So it's out there. I'm going to do a little more research on if it's ok to run this much in this time frame or if that even matters. Money is also going to play in this some. Most of the races are under $50 which is good but they add up so I may have to cut some races and just run that mileage. I think this is a great way to work up to a half but I'm also naive when it comes to running in a lot of ways. When I use to run it was in school and we had meets every few weeks but the most I ran ran was 4 miles total in a few different races. I just did what my coach told me to and I did ok.

And a pretty sunset at work. I wish I knew why blogger messes with my pictures like this. The picture looks fine everywhere else. : /

(P.S. my phone is being silly with the pictures so I will fix them tomorrow, we are having a fantastic lightening storm and I would rather watch it as I fall asleep than mess with them. Sorry!)
