wassonc's Journal, 24 May 12

It's raining and thundering and I love it!! Good start to a Thursday, managed to walk to work before the storm hit, I have my coffee, and I am slowly waking up for the day.

Boy was it hard to get out of bed today. I think I was coughing most the night though, I kept waking myself up. Was debating going to the doctor- but it is just a really annoying cold with no fever or anything so I don't really see any point in missing work to have someone tell me to rest, drink water, and get plenty of sleep.

I did go for run last night, 3.12 miles at a pace of 9 minutes and 8 seconds per mile. By run I mean it was 80% power walking with a few minutes of running sprinkled in there. It sounds nice, but I was still struggling the whole time. The run itself didn't even give me the usual gratification that exercising normally does. But I did it, and I was sweating like a piggy at the end so I am sure that I did a good workout.

Hubby and I watched a horror/sci fi film made in Norway about a Troll Hunter that was pretty good last night. I am loving the random stuff that we are able to watch via Netflix that otherwise we would never be aware of.

Calorie wise I went over by 21 calories, but since I did go for my run and I almost never go over calories I am not going to be upset about it. For some random reason I was craving waffles yesterday- I had a waffle for breakfast and dinner. Oh well, I my appetite seems to finally be back to normal this morning, had my morning shake and grabbed some cottage cheese for the office.

Hope everyone one has a fabulous Thursday!!

XOXOXO

EDIT (I forgot to put down what I am happy for today! Silly me)

What I am happy about today:
- my buddies on FatSecret, I love reading your journals (and I do even when I don't have time to comment on everyone's)
- rainy weather, I love it. I really love running in the rain- so fun!
- Coffee, coffee, and more coffee.
- Hot curlers that cut getting-ready time in half when you are too lazy to get out of bed when your alarm goes off
- My hubby who was in a really good mood this morning (what a weirdo, lol)
- My puppy who managed to wake me up with his sneeze that was so big it shook the bed (he is only 20lbs) when I kept hitting snooze

I hate days where i cant stop thinking about food. Or like last night where i was so happy we were in a hurry to leave for church. I definitely could have eaten more pork steak. It was off the hook! My craving is usually popcorn. So i make some and get myself a small portion and give my kids the rest. Probably need to invest in an air poper so it is healthier though. :)

I love, love, love popcorn!!! It is one of my favorite snacks- and high in protein! We were too cheap to buy an air popper so instead we just use paper bags in the microwave to pop our popcorn and it works great. They also have popcorn sprinklers in fun flavors like nacho cheese and ranch that we use and those are only a few calories per tsp so it works great calorie-wise :)

We love our netflix too. We don't have a dish or cable for our TV because we get enough TV satisfaction from netflix. Lots of good documentaries about health on there too! I too feel liek some runs just don't give me that rush of accomplishment. It's all about balance I suppose. It makes you really appreciate those special runs where you feel amazing and strong afterwards. Hope you get better soon!

The only downside is all the carbs. I try to keep mine between 100-150. Seems to help my weight loss. :) i like cook mine in oil with a couple spoonfuls of sugar when i am craving sweets.

@Lindsay- we don't have cable or dish either, we don't watch enough TV for it to make sense to pay the outrageous cable bills!! lol @jesusfreak- I have been thinking about watching my carbs, but I love them so much!!!
