So I am at a bit of a loss regarding how to eat right now. Yesterday I was a walking zombie and craving pizza (I don't even really like pizza). After I ate the pizza my energy levels skyrocketed. I remember this same thing happened with m&ms when I started this blog. I feel like with the amount of exercise I'm getting and the energy required to do the work I do everyday, I may need some more carbs. Now yesterday I had that black hole phenomenon, where pizza led to rice crispy treat led to sandwich, cake, etc. so maybe if I focus less on eating perfect meals and more on eating balanced meals I would be better off. I need to put some thought into this. I think I can deal with the restricted cals/carbs now, while my weekly running mileage is still fairly low. Obviously when I start running >10 miles I'll have to make another adjustment. I'm thinking I may want to turn to the 3rd cycle of 17 day diet for guidance.

Today I'm not even sore from yesterday's run. That's encouraging. I did take time to really stretch out yesterday so that may be the difference. Yesterday I really wanted to stray from the eating plan, but one thing that I did to really combat that was coming home and cooking rather than stopping by the beauty store. I realize the longer I go without eating, the more likely I am to succumb to the junk at the register. I know they say don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, but thanks to the chips and candy bars at every type of store (clothing, drugstore, etc.) I really set myself up for failure by going any-kind-of-shopping on an empty stomach. I was also up late working and found myself craving junk. I have ice cream in my fridge from the weekend (I should have bought less) but I was able to bypass it. Another good reason to go to sleep at a decent hour :o).

Dr. Mike says to recommit to your healthy eating every Monday. I love that idea. I wish I had the discipline to go a full uninterrupted 17 days eating right, but at least I haven't let it go completely.

Also, this weekend I bought Planter's antioxidant mix which I used to love. When I got home I remember thinking that I didn't love it quite as much as I remembered, lol, but this morning I felt compelled to eat some anyway. This reminds me of what I already know. You can't eat what's not there. Though I would love to have the discipline to not eat food I don't really want to even if it's in my house, I clearly don't and need to take advantage of a house filled with only the food I've put in it...

I woke up and was kinda sad to see that I was still 134.6... I really wanted hideout for dinner because I was so hungry by the time I got home, but lucky for my waistline Brian had a friend over who was watching Nip/Tuck and couldn't go for 45 min, which I DEFINITELY could not make myself wait. So Oven BBQ chicken it was. I don't really like how chili powder tastes. The chicken had hints of that same taste that the chili recipe had. I need to take some time to build a repertoire of healthy recipes I like :o). Day 3: success!

1 day in, 3.4 lbs down

Workout:

Diet:

I followed "Accelerate" yesterday and am already down to 134.6 (I was 138.0 on my own scale yesterday). Clearly this is water weight but I just love the nearly instantaneous results of this eating plan. I will start marathon training soon and I am excited about the possibility of shattering my weight loss goals.

Diet:

I got measured at Xtrain this morning. I have 28.5% body fat (I think) which is considered 'acceptable.' That makes me happy. I also weighed in at 138.6 courtesy of the 4th of July weekend. Xtrain is having a weight loss challenge for a month. I'm excited to have the extra motivation.

I didn't eat the best yesterday, but I am loving that I ate 3 meals. Additionally, I didn't eat when I wasn't hungry.
