Gah. I wore my running skirt yesterday thinking it would make me run. Nope. Today I've had on full running gear- bra included and I still took a 2 hr nap after eating Oreo cookies.

Alright... I did 4 miles on the treadmill. It was a super sucky run. It has not helped my mojo.

I'm gonna find a race to train for in hopes that it will help.

Bolloxd, can you run in the early morning when it's cooler? I haven't managed to do that yet, but maybe you can and it will help?

Did a longer Zumba workout last night, probably pushed myself as far as I could go. Some knee pain and ankle stiffness, but no real problems. Not full hour yet, but maybe next week.

Still absurdly hungry. Brought a larger-than-usual salad in the hopes of avoiding the snack machines and the ramen cups.

Good news: the skirt I wore constantly last summer needs to be taken in about two inches. Time for the tailor!

Yay Mini!

Diablita, on days I manage to get up early & run I do enjoy it. Recently I've been staying up late at night - 12 or 1 am. That totally ruins my chances of an early morning run. The late nights mean I need/want a mid-day nap which then means I don't get tired again til late. On days I skip a nap, for some reason, I *still* stay up late. I need to discipline myself.

I'm currently sitting down to figure out a meal plan since that meant we ate better. Also our budget is tightening so we have to cut back on our quick trips through the drive-thru.

I could have sworn I was eating like crap this week, but I'm creeping down.

Hi David! Jessica likes those icons, too.

Still on vacation - terrified of what the scale will say Sunday morning. Gaaaah. I guess the good news is that all the clothes I brought still fit!

Debba, enjoy!

While I at almost three slices of bad pizza yesterday, I didn't eat dinner. So I think calorically it might have evened out somewhat, even if it was a nutritional disaster.

I'm hoping for linguini with clams for dinner! Mmmmm, linguini...

Debba, I hope you are enjoying Vail!

I have been snacking in the evenings, boredome snacking it seems, on stuff that is packing calories in like crazy. Must.stop.

rocketgirl · « **Reply #3811 on:** July 27, 2012, 12:34:47 PM »

I had two margaritas and chips with guacamole for dinner. Then was hungry later and had some cheese and crackers.

Lunch out today at a coffee/sandwich place. And dinner out tonight, but I don't know where yet. And lunch and dinner out tomorrow.

But I was down a little more yesterday morning, so...

My scale measures to the 10th of a pound! So even .1 down is down.

Love. It. Wish I didn't have to go home tomorrow! Let's just not talk about calories consumed, though.

I saw a new number on the scale this morning! Woot!

Now, to make it last until Monday. The weekends are usually when I let go of austerity a bit, with a couple of glasses of wine or some such.

diablita · « **Reply #3816 on:** July 28, 2012, 11:54:16 AM »

Way to go, VP! I'm not feeling so hot so I'm not running today, but not eating much either. But I did snack on something indecent last night (choc covered macadamias. Ugh).

My DD has a birthday party at 3 at the home of friends who put out lots of snacks. If I'm up for going, will have to take willpower with me.

debbatx · « **Reply #3817 on:** July 28, 2012, 05:07:06 PM »

So, we're home. I hopped on the scale while I was unpacking, and honestly, not too shabby! I'll know more tomorrow morning for sure, but I was under my self-imposed limit this afternoon, so I *should* be well under that limit in the morning for my "real" weigh-in.

Courtney · « **Reply #3818 on:** July 28, 2012, 05:42:37 PM »

Woohoo!!!

merigayle · « **Reply #3819 on:** July 28, 2012, 06:07:01 PM »
