Well yesterday I did the third day of training for a 5k. It was somewhat different than day one. Overall, day one was pretty easy. However yesterday was not as easy. I was running with a friend of mine, so before we began the interval training we walked about one mile. This wasn’t bad and didn’t tire me out, however when I hit that first 1 minute run my breath was labored and I was feeling it. Not sure if this is because I had just ran a few days earlier, the pace had changed, I was trying to talk occasionally during mid run, or if it was because of the 20+ mph winds. No matter what it was, it really kicked my butt a bit. But you know what? I survived and I’ll do it again on Sunday like the plan tells me to. :-)
Today I had a super cool NSV (non-scale victory). I was offered a free blizzard in honor of a co-workers birthday celebration and I declined it. OK so I didn’t say no right away, but I did say no eventually and that’s what counts. Long story short… I was asked at 10:30 am if I wanted a free blizzard. I said Yes. At 11:30 I felt sufficiently guilty that I retracted my yes and turned it into a NO. Had it been a last minute off with no time to ponder this choice I would have totally devoured the small choco cherry lovers blizzard in a heartbeat. Thank goodness I was given a heads up. And not I don’t have to feel guilty the rest of the night for indulging when I wasn’t even craving. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those people who completely denies myself when it comes to food. I think that is an unrealistic choice for me. Instead I just make sure that when I’m going to indulge a bit that it is on my terms and it is something that I truly enjoy and crave.
