Back to the grind

Yep, that's right. After our "mini-vacation" I am officially back to the grind today. This includes both exercise AND diet. I realized how lousy I felt after eating all the food this weekend. Well, let me rephrase. I felt AWESOME eating it, felt lousy digesting it. It's amazing how much your diet and water intake affect your ability to produce results. I was slower, more lethargic, cranky and noticed the more junk I ate, the more junk I craved. I was going to try to cut cold turkey today with all the junk, but that didn't work. Tomorrow is grocery day, so with more healthful options and less junk available, I hope to start losing pounds again. Recently, I have plateaued in my weight loss. HOWEVER.....

I have kick started my running. I had so much energy this morning on my run and I know I am burning seconds off my miles per minute. I know this because I did my 5/1 this morning. It was a total of 5 times and I did 2.7 miles. With a 4 minute warm up and a 4 minute cool down, I still did my run in 36:16. This Sunday (if I can find the time with the crazy weekend schedule), I am curious to try and run a times 3-miler. Just to see where I am at. Again, with this crazy weekend schedule, I may do it just to get out of the house and destress!
