I don't have pictures but...

I do have updates and good news. Here it goes...

The running has been going pretty well. Odd thing is, every week so far (ok it's only been 2 weeks but still) I have had one day terrible run. Terrible means I couldn't even finish the 2-3 miles I was running. Considering in two months I have to run 13.1 miles, that's pretty bad. The funny thing is that the next run after that demoralizing and depressing run is always amazing and perfect. I don't know what kind of sick twisted game this is but I don't like it. I want perfect amazing runs all the time. Right. I bet the running gods are laughing their butts off right now. Either ways I'm on schedule for the training, so keep praying it continues to go well.

Now about the food issue. I'm not a girl who eats healthy naturally. At all. Like ever. My (only) two healthy habits are that I love water and will drink that 95% of the time and I love fruits. Beyond that, give me a double bacon cheeseburger over veggies any day, extra fries please. But I've managed to make some decently healthy meals lately with Sam. We've made some turkey burgers with avocado and cheese, some pasta (with lots of cheese), and had a taco night. Now all of these included some really healthy foods like avocado, lean turkey meats, and beans or some veggies. All also included lots of cheese, cheese is my weakness (along with Nutella and all baked goods. I know really narrowing that down). It's also Sam's weakish spot. So we include cheese in just about every meal.

I've learned that moderation is better than starvation. I'd love to be that girl who eats clean and doesn't overindulge, but that's not me. I love food, and I can't cut out 'bad' foods. I actually dislike the person who thought foods should be labeled good or bad. I know plenty of skinny, fit people who eat a variety of all foods. They eat very moderately but they eat everything, veggies and brownies alike. Now if you're like Scott Jurek, then yes by all means focus on diet and training. I suggest for everyone else trying to lead a normal life find your happy medium. trying to be something you're not won't get you far. That's my rant of the day. Probably because I ate three Reese's PB Pumpkins this morning for breakfast. I'm just trying to clear my conscience and tell myself it's ok. Probably shouldn't do that again, but we all know I will.

Happy Friday everyone, go out and do something fun this weekend!
