It's my party and I'll eat if I want to...

Well, the scale has not budged in 2 weeks. I totally and completely know why, and I'm ok with it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am an emotional eater, and the last couple of weeks have been pretty stressful. The funny thing is that I didn't eat bad (well, for the most part), I just ate a lot of good!!! There were a couple of exceptions over the last couple of weeks, one being the post hang-over grease relief and the second being my birthday. The funny thing is that I've now suffered the consequences of my poor food choices but I'm ok with it - but just for now. What I found interesting is that 6 months ago I would have eaten as much as I did on my birthday (and maybe even more) on a regular basis and feel full, but not uncomfortable, but I felt ill after my mexican and couple of bites of my cupcake on Tuesday.

I've been plugging away at running and a couple of times last week I stopped at the park and did a quick mile loop run around. I also have recognized that it's getting harder and harder to burn calories every morning at bootcamp. When I first started this I was burning 600+ calories every morning and now I'm lucky if I reach 500. Usually hitting around 450. That's also part of why I've stopped at the park to run, just so that I can get closer to 600 calories burned. I've learned that the more calories I burn in the morning, the more calories I can eat during the day. And I like to eat!!!

I played hookie this morning. My alarm clock either didn't go off, or I turned it off in my sleep this morning. The past week I've felt like someone is sitting on my chest, I blamed it on allergies, but yesterday I was having a hard time breathing during bootcamp which meant that my heart-rate was up kinda high the entire time. Not to mention that my core - both abs and back - are so sore today, so I decided that I just needed a break today.

I'm getting excited for the Be The One Run in a few weeks and there's still time to make a donation, if you have not done so yet. Just click on the link to the right. I don't necessarily feel like I'm quite ready physically, but I've also heard that adrenaline kicks in once you're there and you just end up running with the pack and it's over before you know it!!!

That's all for now… sorry for the lack of posts the last couple of weeks, I've been busy busy busy!!!

This weeks goal: WRITE DOWN ALL MY FOOD
