Uphill...both ways


Soooo...today I had to work from home because of the flooding in Atlanta. Which was fine because it meant I actually had time to make a DELICIOUS breakfast that included veggies, fruit, protein, carbs and dairy. So I was very proud of myself for that! I might have put a little too much cheese but whatever- live and learn!

This is my very yummy breakfast:

The best part? I was FULL!

Food diary:
breakfast 2 eggs scrambled with red and green bell peppers and hot sauce. Strawberries. Pepperidge Farm slider bun with 1 pad of butter. Grapefruit juice.

lunch Pasta with alfredo sauce, feta cheese and shrimp. Milk.

snack Chips and Salsa. Water.

dinner My friend Amanda text me and asked if I wanted to do something tonight. I was DYING in the apt all day so I said yes even though I had so much stuff to do. I needed some human contact! Needless to say, tomorrow I will be very busy! I digress. Anyway, I indulged in a Midwestern Flat and a Pomegranite Sunrise (okay 2- I said INDULGED!). My flat had steak, potatoes, bacon, red onion, scallions and sour cream and was delicious! I was so proud of myself for only eating 1/2 of it and saving the rest for lunch tomorrow which is huge for me. Luckily, my friend Amanda and I had great conversation so it wasn't as difficult to resist as I thought it might be!

random running thoughts
  • What the fuck am I doing this for?
  • Man my neighbor is very attractive in a weird, I like to show off my biceps kind of way. What is with guys cutting the sleeves off their shirts? You look like a tool!
  • I wonder if he noticed the cellulite on the back of my legs. Or my pouch.
  • OMG. You know how your dad (or grandpa or whoever) claims they walked both ways uphill to school? And you laughed. I discovered it is possible. Walther Blvd is a charming little road. Turn left- HILL. Turn Right- HILL. Glad I figured this out 35 minutes into my run.
  • Running past restaurants was a terrible idea. If I had my debit card I would stop in Old Towne for 1/2 price whatever and Chili's for a refreshing margarita. Maybe grab a pastry at Panera. My little idea to just RUN was a terrible one.
  • If I my knees hurt before a run, they will stop during the run. If they don't, they will hurt during the run. WTF is that about?
  • I sweat like its going out of style. Who is attracted to someone after a workout when they look and smell like this?
  • Am I done yet?
  • I am so fucked on Saturday.
  • I really like my new Nike running shorts. Thanks brother.
  • Seriously, am I done yet?
  • Why is it when I have specific route and time in mind, the minutes go by too fast? When I set out to run 40 minutes, the last 10 minutes crawl by like time is standing still?
  • Oh shit, my stairs. FML.
