I confess...I woke up late this morning, had a late coffee and three eggs. I didn't think about food again until 10:30pm when a friend of mine asked me did I want pizza. Um, YES! Of course I want pizza! Spinach Chicken Alfredo pizza to be exact! At 12am I get a pizza delivery (Thanks Friend!) and I tried to eat the whole pizza. I ended up eating 3.5 slices. That was just way too much for me to eat after midnight. According to this chart I ingested 1015 calories which I will have to run 10 miles to rid myself of. I must express my shame, disappointment and disbelief. I just feel so full, they were big slices!
I don't know about you, but the last time I worked out...there was a woman who looked younger than me on the treadmill about 2 machines down from me. I was embarrassed because the headphones I brought were broken and I spent a good five minutes trying to set my phone up to play through my headphones. On top of that, my battery started to die so I plugged my charger in and had the cord running up to the elliptical's cup holder where my phone wrapped in headphone-cord rested. Some other day I would have deemed my make-your-headphones-and-phone-work experience as "ghetto" or "doing too much," but y'all have got to understand, I hadn't worked out in weeks. And before that one time I worked out, it had been months. I was focused on running my 3 miles. I was going to RUN, I was going to SWEAT, and I was going to be EXCITED about it!!! Years ago, I used to run 6 miles before I hit the weights...but years later....those 3 miles took 30-45 minutes...and after stretching, I looked at the weights, and told 'em holler back! #problem
The following unanswered question is the source of my dilemma: Is it more important for me to manage my diet so I don't have to work out so much, or will I whine and scream at myself (inside my head of course) to keep running until my workout is finished because I wanna eat whatever, whenever?? Ahhh....like the song said Tuesday: I'm only one decision away!
If any of you out there feel like me, or can offer any insight, please share your indulgences and advice! Everyone needs a little encouragement every now and then, right?
