Leeda: Running in a Fat Suit

And who can’t answer when a good friend calls? No, we are not friends anymore. I am not drinking you, soda, so stop calling me!

Trying something new with my hair today, it’s bound to be a disaster, but I’m tired of the same old same old. Which is one of the reasons I changed my blog lay out.

On the schedule for tomorrow:

Pick up my book on tai chi and yoga

Take baby to the park–run 30 minutes (I CAN DO IT!) and let him play in the play ground afterwards

Eat healthy, tell soda to forget it knows my name

Do yoga before my run

Hope my hair isn’t a total disaster

Ug, here’s somethign depressing…I’ve only lost 2 lbs compared to a month ago. Where does the time go?! Oh well, I still have about 2 weeks until my next set of progress pictures, so here’s hoping!

I hope everyone has the best weekend ever!

Thanks for the sweet responses to my rant, it really means a lot to me. Yesterday I just layed around like a lump, doing absolutely nothing. I ate whatever too. Oh well, it was just one day.

Today I’m feeling much better. I am quitting soda, and starting coffee. Just one cup a day, first thing in the morning. Coffee, unlike soda, has some health benefits so at least I would be doing my body some good, whereas soda does nothing for it. I used to be a really big coffee drinker until I went on Atkins and totally kicked the habit. Of course, the soda habit happened  shortly after I kicked coffee.

Anyhoo, like I was saying, much better day today. I woke up, ate a bowl of shredded wheat, 1/2 an egg, and a cup of coffee (I had some leftover, it’s from a really fancy coffee shop), and baby and I went off to the track. I ran for 28 minutes (after a 5 minute warm up and stretch)!! I know I could’ve done 30, but I promised myself that I would only check my watch after I got back to the car. Checking the time makes it go so much slower. It was such a nice day too, in the high 50s with a breeze. I finally got to put a jacket on DS…I don’t think he’s ever worn one lol. Oh and I did yoga before I ran.  Will write more later, time to put baby down for nap.
