I don't know if I have mention this before but I really love running. There are a lot of reasons why, but one that surprises me is what you think about when you run.
Right now I am training for my first 1/2 Marathon which means I want to finish so I am not paying attention to how fast I am running I just put one foot in front of the other until it is time to stop. This morning that meant 4 miles worth. It was a bit of an odd run I started at 5:30am it had rained heavily the night before and for the first time in a while it was dark outside because the clouds hadn't broke yet. It was oh so beautiful as I ran the sun started to burn off the clouds and poke through, I also noticed the hay cut in curvy straight rows.
I ran my favourite two mile loop. It is my favourite because I know everyone that lives along it, I also remember as a child riding the bus watching a dear old couple hold hands and walk it in the morning. I am amazed at myself I still remember when I ran my first full mile I was delighted. Now I am running four so easily that my mind wonders and I have time to take in the scenery.
So with a wandering mind and pumping legs and arms. I started thinking about how I have been doing with my eating yesterday it was gummy worms, they are not my favourite but I was really hungry after swimming from 12-4. Sunday it was puffed wheat and ritz crackers desert thing, when we were camping it was fresh white bread and butter from a bakery and all of sudden I pictured two thick slices of white bread stuck to my behind so I ran a little faster to get them off. Then there were golden oreos stuck to the underneath of my arms, and puffed wheat stuck to my stomach and I ran a little faster. So I have decided to picture what ever naughty thing I am going to eat stuck somewhere to my body and if I feel ok about it being there I will eat it if not PUT IT DOWN and walk away.
I did however journal all eaten gummy worms which put me over on Carbs yesterday, which makes me what to punch and kick and scream, but today is today, and I am reminded that I really want to hit 70 lbs loss this week, and as one of my friends always says
"I WORKED TO HARD FOR A ___________________ TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO"
You are suppose to fill in the blank with what ever naughty thing you want to eat for example I worked to hard for a gummy worm to tell me what to do. So take that gummy worms I will not falter today.
