Long days make for Early nights

I had an entirely too long of a day yesterday. I didn't get out of my job until after 7pm last night after coming in a 4am that morning. I didn't have time to run with my sister but on the plus side she did run and she did a little over 3 miles which is awesome. I'm trying to get her ready for a 5k next weekend. I have been running with her for a while now and she is definitely getting better at controlling her breathing and pace.

All I did yesterday was work and then I went home, ate and fell asleep. I did watch what I ate though and I cut out snacking. Snacking is a problem with me. I may eat healthy snacks but I eat a lot of them so it kind of defeats the purpose. So I've decided to limit my snacks throughout the day. That should help also with me counting calories again. I just wish I could have ran yesterday. I plan on running today but that all depends on my schedule at work. Either way though, I think I will hit the gym if it's dark outside. If I have light then I will run outside.

I weighed 199 this morning, down from 203 yesterday. That seems to happen that way. When I have a bad weekend the weight I am on Monday and then the weight I am on Tuesday are usually drastically different. Usually on Monday's I run and play basketball so I expect to lose some weight but I didn't really do anything yesterday. I will take it though, not griping at all about it. I'm happy I'm back under 200. I don't like that weight. When I was really losing weight last year for my first leg of this challenge, I would see a benchmark weight such as 220 and I would tell myself "I don't ever want to see that weight again!" Well I told myself that when I hit 200 as well and I have seen it a few times since. So this morning I told myself that again. I never want to see that weight! Hopefully I will be able to say that to 190 soon.

Well that is all for today. If I run tonight I will tell you the distance and time. I want to get a good distance run in for sure at a good pace. Not setting any records anytime soon but I don't care. At least I'm out there doing what I love.
