Ten Miles... so much for the points...

I'll tell you why I have eaten "normally" so far today... I ran 10 miles today. After having not run for a full week I was quite tired and achy during and after my run. Then I had to rush off to the Chiropractor and I hadnt eaten much of anything except a piece of bread at Panera.  So during my initial consultation I became nausous (sp).. sorry... anyway I became this way only when she rubbed some of the muscles in my neck.. We decided I was feeling faint (and dizzy) because my blood sugar was off, from not eating.. So directly after my appointment I hauled myself off to the Bagel Deli across the street and I had a bagel with whitefish salad, and a big yummy cookie and a hot tea for dessert,.   I felt better immediately. 

I have no idea what I'lll eat for dinner but I don't feel like I'm going to pig out.. If I just allow my self to eat normaly I think I will eat less. When I deprive myself I end up eating more... like I'm food possessed...

Well that's enough ranting for today.... please excuse my spelling as there is no spell check on this blog that I know of. 

I don't have a lot to say for myself..

My blog has been lacking and I have been eating. I haven't run since Saturday. I feel like a BLOB. BLOB I AM. Should call this the BLOB BLOG. I have to weigh in a some point at Weight Watchers but I cant even decide when I should go... I cant go Saturday, my usual day, because I have to go to the Chiropractor...
So I guess I'll go Tuesday for sure.

I havent blogged in a few days so I'll just post yesterday's (Thursday) food...Tues and Weds I was great for Breakfast and Lunch but dinners I went off the charts.. Tuesday night I had Veal for dinner and lots of chocolate pretzels for dessert. Wednesday nite I ate TWO cold cut sandwiches, popcorn with butter and then later a small piece of pizza. I suck.

Off the Beaten Path....

I have been off my diet for a few days.. not totally.. but somewhat... I have been good for breakfasts and lunchs but dinners have been a wash...Friday night I ate every tapas plate I could at my favorite restaurant, Pazo. Saturday night we went out to dinner and I had Veal Franchaise and several glasses of wine... (I did run 8 miles on Saturday).  Sunday I was ok... but I had a delicious Cloak & Dagger sandwich after having worked a double at the restaurant... So this report is for Monday, February 22, 2010... Oh.. btw.. Im resting my back for a few days.. its really bothering me so I won't be running until Thursday.
