Lapband update 112409

Hmmm, what to type. I'm proud of my accomplishments on one hand, then on the other, I'm frustrated with my lack of will power. I've been running pretty steady now for the last 2 months. A friend of mine encouraged me to run farther, not faster. Great advice! This week, I've started running 3 miles instead of 2. And I was so proud when I ran 3 miles without walking.
Then on the other side, I seem to have no problem eating a half a bag of M&M's, chocolate, sweets, whatever is what I am really struggling with. I have got to try harder, change some things in my life. I put so much into exercise and i'm not reaping the benefits of it because I can't stop eating crap.

One habit that I decided needs to stop tonight is eating before bed. I jump in bed after a long day, turn on the tv, power up my laptop to do some work I didn't get done and eat. Stops tonight. and If I do, it'll be something healthy.

Healthy eating is not easy, nor cheap. That's what makes it hard for me. But, I need to make some changes for my family, my husband, daughter and myself!

With that said, my eyes are burning because i'm so tired and it's 8pm. LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Morning,

I'm feeling good about the fact that i've been running 2 miles everyday. Well, Monday thru Friday anyway. I take our dog out on one of our back roads, and run 2 miles. I'm pushing myself to run longer stretches of "faster", rather than "longer" distances.

I've been asking myself if I should attempt the Fargo 1/2 marathon. I'm a person who has to keep goals out there in front of me and that would be an excellent goal. and a BIG one!

I never understood it when runners would talk about running being addicting. I'm starting to understand that now!

eating is going ok, I really need to cut back on sweets. That is my biggest struggle right now!

Food hasn't been getting stuck, which is great.

Have a great Thursday!
Kerri
