Today has been great! I had originally planned to go for a 4 miler with Lou and Lilly after work, but Lou was feeling sick today. I had it all planned, run after work, pick up Chinese food on the way home, and then hang out with JJ. Well, because Lou cancelled on me, I was really torn about what to do.
Part of me just wanted to go home and lounge, but I have a weigh-in in the morning, and I wanted to get a run in this week! I have a really hard time adjusting my mind-set when my plans have to change. In the past, having my run cancelled might cause me to go home, eat and sit around... but I had a back-up plan, I adjusted it a little, and I am proud of myself for that!
I decided that as soon as I got home I'd change and go for a quick 2 mile run before it got dark out. I made it just in time, and ran the 2 miles at an even faster pace than before. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with getting my pace down... I know as I run more and lose weight it will go down, but I think I need to realize I'm just not a fast runner. I need to continue to be proud of myself for my distances and sticking with running!
After I got home, I did some stuff around the house and then called in the Chinese food. I got steamed vegetables and chicken with broccoli in garlic sauce. I eat mostly vegetables with a little chicken/sauce and rice, and smother it in spicy mustard. Aside from the white rice and a little oil in the sauce, it's a pretty healthy take-out dinner!
Now the girls and I are going to do some menu planning and watch TV. No big plans this weekend... 7 miles on Saturday (hopefully I'll make it!) Also, tomorrow marks our official 6 month anniversary of moving to Florida. It feels like yesterday, but then we've made such a life here already it feels like we've lived here forever. I guess that's good!
Happy Friday, cross your fingers for a 1 lb. loss for me :)

Good for you!
I can be the same way, when plans change. It is really hard to stick with it, when you have an out.
That dinner looks great! We are almost at our 6 month mark of being in Germany too! Definitely went by fast don't you think?
Um, for what it's worth... I think you are a super fast runner! When I saw I'm slow, I mean my fastest mile is 13 minutes. The fact that your pace is at 10 totally impresses me. I stress about getting faster too and I think the sooner I let that go and just work on being consistent the better off I'll be!
Good luck on your weigh in today! That was a great back up plan for last night. I am hoping to get to the point where I love running. I have been really looking forward to my training workouts so I think I am on my way there. Today I start working with a personal trainer. I am really excited!!!!!
I love Chinese food but dispise the bloat that goes along with it! Dang!
