Getting Back Into It

Lately, I've had a really tough time in terms of my diet. Yesterday I finally controlled my calorie intake without really diving into sweets or anything. It's just a matter of me sticking to it for a week, then it's pretty much routine for me. I just need to learn to eat healthier and within my means, then I'll start losing again! My diet has been what was killing me lately. I've been keeping up with the exercise, NO PROBLEMS. But when it came to eating, I was being a human vaccuum cleaner :(
I had my longer run on Saturday! 6 miles! I remember before when 6 miles seemed impossible, but now I feel as if I can conquer the world when running. I also very much enjoy running outside. I look back on my life before and always being too shy to run outside, in fear that everyone was staring at me, thinking, god look how fat she is! What is she doing running?! I don't even think twice now...I just do it. I must say, I do enjoy the treadmill, and I'm mentally strong enough to stay on forever. It's not for everybody but apparently I make it work.
I have a 5K coming up on Sunday...the Smuttynose Will Run For Beer 5K. Can't wait to sport that t-shirt while running. I still want to buy a t-shirt that says "I run so I can eat cake later!" lol. It's so true...sort of. I love the exercise and the way it makes me feel. It makes me so much happier and I am able to get more done during the day. I'm more motivated. Anyways, 6 miles is almost half of the half marathon!! So I'm almost there!!! :) I can't wait for October...I'm going to be SOOOOO proud when I can accomplish that.
Anyways, here's to another week...
goals for the week are...
-Follow my 10K training to a T!
-LIMIT calorie intake!!
-AB exercises 3 days this week
-Weight training 3 times this week as well

I'm not even worrying about the scale this week since I gained like 3 pounds since Maryland due to my bad eating habits!!! At least I'm getting back on the horse....I don't wanna stay this way!
