the fabulous ktiker and I went to an Indian food buffet yesterday. we were steered there by Jaime, who is replacing my very own ktiker at work. sigh. I've avoided breaking down in tears thus far, but let me say that there is no one who would make a satisfactory stand-in...there are not so many giggles happening when K8 is not in the cube adjoining mine.
the good news is that Jaime apparently knows a decent Indian buffet when she encounters one. it was delicious! (by the way, I'm not saying that I'm not looking forward to working with Jaime). it was so delicious that I went back for seconds, hit a solid wall about three bites into that second plate, and then kept going.
if only I could keep going like that when I hit a wall during a run.
the bad news (for me) was that I was so full, there was still food slooshing around in my tummy while I was on the treadmill. I wanted to reach my goal of adding one mile to my continuous run every month, but to do that I had to run two miles in a row yesterday. I know it doesn't sound like much, but to me it's a lot, especially after not being in the gym for such a long time. I made the two mile marker, but boy, was I afraid that something "bad" might happen (and I mean something besides me collapsing from being out of breath). phew!

ok Kate, you asked for it!
ha ha ha ha.
I know how bad it can be to get 'overly' obsessed about diet and exercise, but I will soon be past the point of no return, and there's nothing else to do except flip the obsessive switch in my brain and use it to stay on the diet and exercise boat.
um, I suppose I should record what I eat?
I ate half of a Coconut Cream Pie Larabar for breakfast. It was my first one, it tasted OK, but I shouldn't have smelled it. It said it was made out of nuts and fruit, so I expected it to smell that way. Wouldn't you expect it to smell like fruit and nuts? Well, it didn't. It smelled like a stinky hand shaped the bar. I don't think I'll get another one.
Other food I've eaten today = coffee + half-and-half, a cookie that was too difficult to resist (homemade and sitting at my desk waiting for me). Breakfast was awesomely delicious: 3 gnocchi, and two calamari rings - not as healthy as oatmeal, but at least my portion control was working! Portion control didn't work too well at lunch. I went to Cosi with Shareef (should I be changing names to protect the innocent?), got a steak gorgonzola sandwich and ate the entire thing. Um, I just paused to look up the calorie content (I shouldn't have) 752 calories!!!! I'll have to eat oatmeal for dinner!!!!
The workout...half hour on the treadmill, incline set to 1.0, slow walk 2min, 6mph 3min alternating...2.5 miles. My left ankle hurts. It's not used to conveying this much weight at a slow jog.
Yes, impulse control is on the behavior modification agenda.
