Starting over from scratch...

And I mean, starting EVERYTHING over.

I can't believe how much I've eaten within the last week. To top it off, I'm having a big Italian restaurant dinner tonight. Italian food + being a vegetarian = PASTA! Not good.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to stick to WW religiously. Nothing non-Core will be consumed. If I stop all the badness cold turkey, I should be down 10 pounds by Christmas! The running regimen starts back up again tomorrow as well. I'll have 6.5 months until the Bayshore Marathon (I'll definitely be in shape for the half by then.)

Damn, I feel so incredibly gross right now.

Lame!

Thursday night, I was scheduled to work until 9:00, but stayed a bit later. Was dead tired when I got home. Friday, I was also whipped when I returned home. SOOOO, looks like I'll be running 4.5 miles today. Either that or I'll make myself start the week/whole regimen over from scratch.

I suck. I really do.

I hate my job...

I'm scheduled to work 12:30 to 9:00. This means in addition to missing the first 10 minutes of CSI, I'll have to do my 1.5 mile run late tonight.

I WILL NOT tell myself I'll do it tomorrow, because I have no self-discipline whatsoever. I'll be dead on my feet tonight, but I'll make myself run it. Maybe I'll try to run a bit faster than usual on the treadmill.

Day three...

And I think I'm getting sick.

Damn. I just woke up from a two-hour nap on my side on a recliner, body curved and a loose chair button digging into my shoulder blade. So cold. So chilly.

Here is the week's schedule:

Monday: rest, or in my case stretching.
Tuesday: 1.5 miles. Treadmill
Wednesday: 3 miles. Treadmill
Thursday: 1.5 miles. Treadmill probably
Friday: rest (I'll probably stretch.)
Saturday: 3 miles. Maybe run outdoors.
Sunday 30 minute walk. I'll probably walk to Dunkin Donuts and back for a cup of coffee.

BUT by day three, I'm feeling blah.

Getting serious this time...

I haven't been running lately. I haven't been doing much of anything except for writing my NaNoWriMo novel (as of right now, I'm 38% done!)

As of Monday, I will be starting this serious running training regimen so I can be prepared to run the Traverse City marathon, although I'm planning on only running the half. Hell, maybe I'll be prepared to run the full. If I do only the half, I'm hoping to cut an hour off my 3:13 result from the Detroit half marathon.

Well, back to the writing.
