I have been horrible. I haven't been keeping up with this blog at all. But today started day one (again).
Food: I ate a decent lunch, with all beef angus hot dogs and Greek yogurt and a banana. For dinner we had honey teriyaki chicken on the grill with a huge side salad made with fresh veggies. I had berry vinaigrette as my dressing. Then I made fruit smoothies. I did not have a single soda today either.
Activity:
I got out of bed and ran this morning. This was my first time running since 11/28. It showed. I wasn't even able to run a full mile. However, my average pace was 11:30/mi. I did a mile and a half in 17:56
Reflection:
I am not going to beat myself up over the run since it was in the wind and the rain. Also, I have been eating horrible the last month. I am back to my college weight and that makes me very upset.

Day eight
Food:
I didn't eat breakfast, and lunch was subway ham sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, banana peppers, olives, and oil and vinegar. Later we went to the movies and I had a box of Goobers and a box of gummy bears. Dinner was Macaroni Grill where I had the lasagna.
Activity:
chasing around the car and shopping for over an hour.
Reflection:
Besides the gummy bears, today was a good day. :)

Day Seven
Food:
I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, lunch was Popeyes which was a chicken breast and some Mac and cheese,and dinner was steak on the grill and Mac and cheese and saffron rice.
Activity:
Besides running a bunch of errands, I also pushed myself really hard in my run today. I ran 1.75 mi continuously, and 1.98 mi total.
Reflection:
I didn't even want to run today. I told myself I was going to take it easy and only run about 3/4 mile. But I got to that mark, and pushed myself to Starbucks. Then I got there and realized I wasn't actually very tired. Before I knew it my goal kept getting extended to the point where I had run 1.75 mi continuously. It was a slow jog but a jog all the same. My next goal is to decrease my run time.

Day Five
Food:
For breakfast I had cereal, lunch was skipped because dinner was thanksgiving. I ate a small portion of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, homemade macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce and a dinner roll. I did have a couple beers as well.
Activity:
there was no activity in particular.
Reflections:
Thanksgiving was supposed to be a run day and for that I feel bad. But if you think about it, my portions were small enough where I shouldn't feel guilty.

Day Six
Food:
I had an orange roll for breakfast, a cantina bowl for lunch, and tomatadas at a Mexican restaurant for dinner.
Activity:
I didn't exercise today, unless you consider playing tag with the cat exercise.
Reflection:
I felt pretty good about today, since I ate kind of decent, and didn't drink any of my calories.

Day Four
Food:
I had a bowl of blueberry wheaties for breakfast, a handful of mini chocolate balls while at work, had a few little smokies before dinner, and then had two slices of pepperoni pizza and about 5 buffalo wings.
Activity:
Besides chasing Kilala around this morning I took the stairs at the store today and stood at work.
Reflections:
I am convinced that if I didn't get my bowl of wheaties in this morning I probably wouldn't have made it through the day. By the time I got home I was hungry, and weak. Wish I would have ate healthier, but as Americans we are known to trade convenience over health.

Day three
Food:
I had two strips of bacon, one egg scrambled, and a banana for breakfast. I did not eat lunch, but dinner was grilled chicken and half a green pepper also on the grill.
Activity:
Ran all the way to Starbucks (~1.2 miles) and then ran an additional .75 miles in about 32 min. I also worked for 5 hours and sat for only about 30 min of it.
Reflection:
Today I didn't hardly eat, compared to what I normally eat. I have lost half a pound over the last three days, but I am not really concerned. I want to be able to run 1.5 mi straight. If I continue improving at this rate I am hoping I will see it in two weeks. Then my goal is cutting down my time so I am faster and able to still go fort the full 1.5 miles.
