DAY 36

This morning got off to a very frustrating start.  I was up at 4 to feed my little boy like usual and figured I should just stay up and go exercise at 5.  Since I was up so early, I thought I would purchase some new songs for my ipod to make my run more interesting.  The whole process left me totally and completely bugged.  First itunes said that I put in the wrong password.  Then my debit card information didn't match my bank records.  Then I finally purchased the songs and my ipod wouldn't connect to my computer.  Then I got to the gym and had to go to the bathroom about 12 minutes into the 40 minute run.  Once I got all that out of the way, I finally enjoyed my workout (regardless of the fact that I didn't end up bringing my ipod with me).

Anyway, here are the reports:

Exercise:

Usual Friday run.  I think I ran about 3.5 miles again.  I wish I would have gone a little further and think that I probably could have, but I was feeling kind of tired and decided to stop.  I didn't run as fast as I normally do and I'm hoping to work on my speed.

Eating:

1 Kashi granola bar
1 egg white
1 string cheese
2 cups cooked vegetables
handful of pistachios
2 cups green bean casserole
lots and lots of candy and cupcakes

Today was probably the worst binging spree I have had in a long time.  I was making cupcakes for my daughter's 2nd birthday and went totally and completely overboard.  I just couldn't stop myself!  It all started with a tiny taste of fondant and then eventually led to stuffing loads of cake batter, cupcakes, and candies into my mouth.  A lot of damage was done within a period of 1 hour.

Thought for the day:

I need to only allow myself ONE day during the weekend that I "cheat" with my eating.  I've found that if I begin cheating on Friday, it continues the entire weekend.
