Derek` Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Ran my half marathon today. First 3 miles were kind if rough, but I got my butt in gear after that. Best my previous PR (from September) by 3 minutes. Feeling good. Potato and fruit week was a success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek` Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Feeling kind of lousy. Just mad at myself for sneaking candy so much the past few weeks. And it's shown on the scale. I've lost 0.7#, which is good, but I have been losing at a better pace than that. Need to get myself in check before temptation season really starts Also, I've been having some marital tension lately (nothing serious I don't htink). Just all adds up. Want to scream. On a good (I guess) note, after my race on Saturday, people with Garmins were saying that their watches were saying the course was about 0.5-0.6 miles too long. So I went and measured on mapmyrun on the computer as well as I could, and yep, came up with 0.5 miles too long. So tha makees me feel a little bit better still. New PR for 13.6 miles since it's the only 13.6-mile race I've ever done ;-) Monday: 5:30a Chicken breast. Grape tomatoes. A few walnuts 12:30p Romaine lettuce. Tuna. Vinegar/Oil dressing. Tomato. Broccoli 4:00p A few walnuts 4:30p 1-hour of weight lifting 6:00p Meatloaf. Steamed Cauliflower. Almonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Congrats on the race! SO crazy frustrating when courses aren't mapped out accurately. It happens here all the time and I have to take a deep breath and tell myself that it's the beauty of small town living, but still! Tension, candy.....not fun stuff.

I mean, you went for a run to make yourself feel better, which is a constructive way to deal with it. I hope you are feeling better, soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberino21 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I've been struggling still ( Making bad eating choices. Still upset with myself and trying to figure out how to move past this What is causing you to turn to not so healthy choices? Could you think about it one meal at a time? make the next meal you eat one of good choices? One meal is less daunting than a forever of meals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek` Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks, amberino. My problems have been with snacking. In fact, yesterday I snacked so much that I wasn't even hungry all evening and didn't eat dinner. Maybe it's partly boredom. I was home alone yesterday. I've been a little depressed too. I like your suggestion of just thinking of it as one healthy, satisfying meal at a time. I just finished up a good breakfast of eggs/onion/peppers. Now to avoid the cupboard/fridge until the next meal time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek` Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 On a positive note, I bought some new pants on Friday. My old ones were starting to look like clown pants.
