So I haven’t been writing like I intended, but I really do want to give this a shot.  I think writing out my feelings will help me get rid of this 15-20 lbs!  I just got home from a HOT run outside … just 1.5 miles up a hill and back, and it killed me.  Noon in FL, even in Sept, is still not a good time for running.  I am excited for fall to get here and to get back to running outside.  I’d been keeping up w/ the treadmill — had a good productive two weeks of 3 morning workouts on the treadmill as well as arms and abs, and two great weeks at work.  However, then my schedule changed and instead of working at 9am and working out at 6:50am, I am going in at 10 or 11am now.  Soooo therefore the sleeping in all last week ended up in me not making it to the gym once!  This week I meant to go too, buuuut only went on Thursday.  And then went outside running (MISTAKE!) today.  I’ll still get in my 3 workouts by going tomorrow, but not running before work really affected my workday!  I was soooo tired and not motivated at work these last two weeks!!  I need to remember that next week when I think - oh wow, I can actually sleep in!  I want to still get up at 6:50, get in my workout, then enjoy my extra hour or two before work.  That way too I’ll still be on the same sleep schedule w/ my boyfriend like we had been.

I am writing this note to myself that when I feel like sleeping in instead of going to the gym cuz I think the sleep will do me good — The sleep will not do me good!  Working out will invigorate me and make my work day better!  I loooove running, even more than sleep, so why is sleeping in even being considered??

I haven’t been eating well once again.  I like leaving work for lunch, sooooo I go spend way too much money at restaurants where I eat way too much.  I want to start packing my lunch again, but then what do I do to kill an hour?  I guess I can go to a coffee shop and read or something, but then I’d be spending more money than I want too, and be tempted to get a dessert along w/ my coffee.  Plus, I don’t like eating in the breakroom at work .. its tiny and tends to smell weird haha.  Maybe I’ll look up a park nearby and go read a book and have lunch or something?

Also, I have been eating bad foods late at night again.  For example, last night the boy and I had loaded nachos at 9 or 10pm, and I had two tall beers.  Soooo unneccesary.  We need to come up w/ other fun activities that doesn’t include going out and eating.

Soooooo I’m saying it again –

Do not oversleep — get up early and work out cuz it will make me feel so much better, more awake, and better performance at work

Do not eat a lot at lunch!  Read a book or something.

Do not eat at night!

Do not spend money on food — fun activities w/ the boy instead!

Get rid of these extra pounds by my birthday!!
