Somedays it is just really hard to do what you know you should. Today we had semester tests which means we get an open campus lunch. I really wanted to go to Taco John's with my friends but a little voice in head kept telling me no. But of course, I ignored it and headed towards delicious, fatty, calorie loaded bliss. I happened to pass subway and I suddenly felt guilty so I turned around. I walked in with a big smile because I knew I was taking just one more little step towards my goal. I got my 9 grain honey oat ham and turkey sub ( with veggies) and made my way back to the school.
It doesn't seem like that big of a deal but because I listened to that voice in my head, I saved over a thousand calories. Every little victory should be celebrated. I can't care if people think I'm crazy. I'm taking control of my life and it feels amazing.
I also realized that I'm not really a runner today. BUT... It's a lot easier when you watch a funny movie, although it is hard to hear it over the sound of my weezing. Haha. Somehow I managed to last about a half hour.
I discovered I am not a treadmill runner. I'm an outdoor runner, and I have to do it without headphones. There's something about running outside in creation that just gets me. Oh, barefoot too. :)
