Morning workout FTW :)  It’s actually not that bad.  We’ll see how long I keep thinking that.  C. wanted to run her trail running loop today so we did that.  She said it was 3.5 miles but I don’t think it was because it took about 36 minutes and since we weren’t running on flat land and we were on trails, it was probably shorter – maybe close to 3 or even a little less.  Gah, I hate those hills.  So freaking hard.  It always sucks while running it.  It sucks quite a bit actually.  I run so slow!

I think running in the trails triggered my allergies because my nose has been running non-stop since this morning and it now freaking hurts.  I’ve blown it so much it’s completely raw.  It’s so annoying and painful.  I have to blow my nose like every 2 minutes.  I took a claritin this morning that didn’t work.  I took an allegra about 1.5 hours ago, seems to be working a tad better but man..a runny nose hinders productivity by so much.

I also didn’t eat very well today.  I’ve been pretty conscious about what I’ve been eating since I’ve been working out and trying to lose weight.  I think today was the worst this whole week.  Funny though because while it seems bad to me today, before, I would totally eat this stuff but more of it and not even think twice.  Breakfast I was just going to have coffee and a banana but my coworker offered me half of his breakfast burrito so I had that and coffee.  For lunch I brought 2 leftover pieces of pizza – but they were so greasy and had so much dough that I barely ate it.  So I tried to eat a chicken caesar salad I bought but the lettuce looked nasty and I’m pretty picky about the way lettuce looks so I just ate the like tiny pieces of chicken and tossed it.  I also had a diet coke with lime – man those are so good.  Still unhealthy but at least its 0 calories.  Then I had some fruit for a snack.  For dinner I had a vietnamese sandwich and two eggrolls.  Dang, that sounds like a lot of food but really its not because I could have easily eaten a whole burrito for breakfast, eaten probably 3-4 slices of pizza for lunch and then eaten the same for dinner.

I’m kinda anxious about weighing in on Saturday!

Trying to lose weight takes a lot of sacrifice and a lot of effort and conscious decisions.  It’s hard work.
