Ding dong the Cherubs are gone!
Ok. Maybe a little harsh, but I am so glad to be rid of them for 2 weeks. I am still a serious stress ball, but I am starting to see a glimmer of light waaaaaay down the tunnel. My eating is Out. Of. Control. So, I am going to go to Jenny this morning after some coffee and face the music.
Today is busy. I didn't want it to be, but it has to be. When you disappear from your life for a month doing finals and then catching up at work, everything else builds up. I have my long run (7.5 miles), a meeting with another grad student from state (she needs to borrow some of my old tests and I have been blowing her off all semester), lunch with a group of former students home from their respective colleges (UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UCLA, and Cal Poly SLO. Had to brag about them for a moment. I am so proud!), then I have to go trim my friend's dogs' nails (she is kind of like my adopted grandmother and I have been blowing her off for about 4 weeks. Nice, huh? I just found out she was recently diagnosed with Narrow Angle Glaucoma and almost lost her vision. She's had two surgeries in the last month and is going to have a third on Thursday. So if I didn't feel like an asshole before, that sealed the deal.)
Exercise
None since my run on Wednesday. I was going to run on Thursday, but my stomach was not happy. Friday was a planned rest day. TOM has come for a visit and my tummy is still not 100% from the stress/virus/whatever issues it had the last couple of days, so hopefully today's run won't suck.
Food
When I think about how I was eating last winter it doesn't look so bad, but I know it isn't healthy or in line with my goal to maintain and possibly lose another 5 or so pounds.
Friday
Breakfast
(1) English muffin/cottage cheese/coffee (2) I am out of JC food which set me up for...
Snack
6 Christmas cookies, 6 Hersey kisses/coffee
