Lazy Days of Summer

My workout has been derailed all week. But today I will run. Dietwise, I'm up and down. No caffeine so far this week, no red meat, no pork! But a bit more dairy than I should be eating (in the form of ice cream. yum.)

Getting back in the groove

Yesterday I ran a really slow 5k around the house. I ran despite the migraine that I've had since Saturday. It didn't feel great, but it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Today I feel much better than I have in a minute. At lunch today I plan to go to yoga and go for another run after work. I really want to get back to a place where exercise feels good. I want to be able to comfortably work out when I get pregnant.

My diet was just okay yesterday. I had yogurt and fruit for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch (Jimmy Johns) and a sensible dinner of roasted chicken, rosemary red potatoes and steamed broccoli. I snacked on some almonds during the day and a little bit of cheese before dinner. No ice cream, but I did have two of those mini snickers during the day. Last night I ran into my neighbor at the end of my run. She had a large container of frosted sugar cookies. Mmmmm, they looked DELICIOUS, but I resisted. Yay for me! No huge derailment on my first day.

I have to get back on track

Tomorrow I will start my exercise plan. I will run. I will resist the medium peppermint mochas and the ensuing caffeine buzz. No more peanutt butter/chocolate ice cream. More salads. Veggies. No pork. No red meat.
