Some people drink, some eat, some...well I don't really know.
I'm fine for about an hour, then when the news actually hits me, I'm a wreck for a while after that, then I'm emotionally turned inside, and on the verge of depressive for a bit after that.
We found out this evening that a very close family friend passed away tonight.
Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Until next time,

This isn't the first time my body said no, but it IS the last
I know. That title seems odd.
Some of you may not know this about me, but I like to run. Like, really like. Well, I ran a 5K last Saturday!!! My first all-running 5K. 41:11. That would be a new PB (personal best).
I just ran one mile. One stinking little mile. And it was the most labored mile since I've been able to run a mile! 12:19. Very UN impressive. (Well, I guess I ran at average 13 and change in the 5K, but that was 5K, not 1.6K) but I digress. I believe I've posted before about being gluten and corn free. And how I felt better etc.
Well, recently, I've been trying to stick to 90% gluten free. That's all well and good, but this week, it's been a gluten binge. I've eaten more crap than I would really care to admit, but because it will only help, I'm going to. Breakfast every day this week was a Sonic burrito. I ate one good lunch this week, and that was Chinese leftovers. On Tuesday. Every other day I've been out to eat or fast food, a sandwich of some sort. Dinner is the only redeeming meal, but I've destroyed it by the huge bowls of ice cream. The only good thing about the ice cream (and extreme number of toppings) is it's all gluten/corn free. Yes, Magic Shell is corn free.
Today, in my mile, I paid for all that crap. It was as if my body was telling me: you feed me crap? You no run. Fine. A good lesson. I am going to stick to 90% HOWEVER, next 2 weeks? DETOX. No more gluten or corn, 14 days. Eat out as little as possible. NO sweet tea or soda. I will be going back to Diet Lipton Green Tea for the caffeine (fun factoid: Diet Lipton is corn free, Regular Lipton has corn syrup. *rolls eyes* go figure :-) )
I will be doing walking over the next 14 days, but I'm not going to run until the 21st of January. That's also in part because I'm out of contacts, and running in glasses ends up with foggy glasses and if I take them off, I can't see, if I leave them on, I really can't see. Not fun, and very distracting. :)
I think my weigh in this morning is also going to be an eye opener. I haven't weighed in since Dec 17th. The 24th they were closed, and last week, I had my 5K. That I had also used as an excuse to eat crap, which tells me, even when I hit lifetime, I'll be weighing in weekly, simply for the regular accountability.
Until next time,
:)
