Doing good so far…
Slump Buster March 24th, 2009So today I resisted the temptation to run to 7-11 with a co-worker. That would have wiped out my clean eating goals because 1. I would have gotten a luscious, icy diet coke FROM THE FOUNTAIN (which are better in my opinion) 2. I would have gotten some sort of salty snack I didn’t need. Although I really want one or both of these quite badly, but I am resisting… I can wait until dinner for my diet coke.
Plan on going for a run with my friend today. I may ride my bike to her house, run her 3 mile route, and then bike home. That will give me just about 7 miles, so then I will be at 8 miles for the week! Of course that is best case scenario. Worst case is that i will do a measly 2.
UPDATE: Oh you guys are going to LOVE this! So, I rode my bike to my friend’s house today. Round trip it’s 3.41 miles, so a little over a mile each way. I noticed when I was almost there that my pedal was a little wobbly, but it was better than the metal grinding sound i started out with. My friend and I ran our 3 miles (gasp!) and I started for home. I was one block from HER house when… yeah, left pedal fell off the bike. And I’m not just talking about the footpad, I’m talking the WHOLE pedal. So. Now what? I called my husband and said.. “hey, come rescue me or I won’t be home for awhile.” Do you think he came? No… I just started walking figuring if he did come, I’d find him somewhere. Yeah, never happened. But it’s okay. I mean, I wasn’t THAT far from home, PLUS I needed the mileage. So to recap… I rode my bike a little over a mile, ran 3 miles, and then PUSHED MY BIKE HOME a little over a mile. I feel like giving myself double mileage for that. But I won’t. So that puts me at just under 8 miles (it’s like 7.92) or somethign like that for the week so far. I only need 2 more to go!! WOO!! And as for snacking… I am on track with that as well!
