Week 3.. part Deux

Okay.. so to be honest, week 3 didn't go well for me last week. I only ran once! I am ashamed of myself, really.

Not to mention I had major issues at my good friend Kari's bridal shower Saturday. My friend Anna and I overslept. We didn't have time for breakfast so by the time we got to the shower I. Was. Starving.

Bad idea kids. Whenever you let your body get that hungry you have absolutely nothing telling you to be conscious of what you are putting in your mouth. I just ate and ate and ate until I felt miserable.

I had a salad.

Half a chicken ceasar wrap (with dressing on the side)

About 5 of these little guys. Then I went back and got like.. 8 more.

Oh. And then.....a nice big fat piece of chocolate cheesecake!

Way to go!

When I say I felt miserable, that was an understatement. I mean....there were def. options for me there to eat healthy. Why didn't I?? I waited way too long to eat. Lesson learned.

I'm going to try and start carrying snacks around with me so this does not happen to me again. If I had a protein bar to hold me off on the way there, I would not have attacked the food like a homeless child who had not eaten in weeks.

I started back with my running yesterday though. It was soo much easier for me cus you know what y'all?

I bought myself a gift. :-D

Okay, so it still wasn't easy. But it made it less awkward for me. I couldn't hear myself breathing heavily. Who cares if my geriatric neighbors do? I don't. I could sing along with the songs to regulate breathing and I had a pace to run to! It EVEN made me run more than I needed to for the week 3 program! No, I'm not going any faster but I'm going. And that's all that matters to me

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to work this lil gadget though. I like that it has Nike + already installed on it so I can keep track of how far I have gone/how fast etc. It makes me wanna run again today and beat myself, and that's always good! It's not too hot out today. I've gotta go meet the girls I nannied for to give them their easter baskets, but I can go before!

No excuses!

I also got a bunch of new running gear from good ol Wal*Mart.

I got a new sports bra- SO much better than the one I had:

I also got some new running shorts (a little snug now, hopefully they will fit soon) some running tops, and some running capris. They sure made me feel official!

So I fell down, but I'm getting back up. AND I will keep getting back up. I have to.
