Weight check
Even though I had the day off yesterday, I didn’t find time to post my weight check! (That’s because I was TOO BUSY pinning…) 5/8/13 - 140.4  5/15/13 - 137.4 5/22/13 - 137.2 Should have had more leafy greens this weekend if I wanted to see the number drop.  Ahh well, there’s always next week. Plus my bridesmaid dress is a little loose right now, so it’s a good...

Remember that day
I was late to my brother’s graduation because of stupid traffic and I cried and cried?

School Updates!
So there have been some changes to next year - always. Never assume anything is ever set in stone EVER. LOL Anyway! Staying in first grade AND taking a TIIIIIINY room. Fewer students that way and giving an unknown new teacher my current room. If you were transferring schools or becoming a brand new teacher, would you want to be thrown into a teeny tiny room with no plan of how to actually use the...

Be thinking about me today, if you please.
I didn’t sleep well and already exploded at Ethan for not cooking my egg the way I like it.  I’m hoping this trip to the zoo won’t end in any more tears. (Mine or the kids.) We’re all allowed a bad day every now and then. I just don’t don’t like it when my bad day interferes with anyone else’s good day.

I hate saying I'm entitled
Because I don’t think I’m entitled to anything. Sometimes I want things. Today, I wanted a rest day. A REALLY BIG REST DAY. Complete with watching 16 and Pregnant. (Guilty pleasure!) Zoo trip tomorrow. Can I call in sick?

Weight check!
Trying to drop pounds during taper didn’t work. I was too concerned about being prepared for the race (as I should be) to allow myself to be in a calorie deficit. But now, let’s do this! (I’ve actually already started.) 5/8/13 - 140.4  5/15/13 - 137.4 I started having oatmeal in the morning instead of double protein and try to incorporate 2 salads a day. I’m steering clear of refined...

Marathon Reflections
I think I better knock on wood before I express this. I’m still feeling awesome and motivated to run! Marathon blues have yet to rear their ugly head. I’m keeping myself from drowning in those deep, deep blues by running with friends, doing easy runs, and focusing on other people’s successes. I also want to fit in more biking!  My spirits are much higher now than they were...

So hungry
I cut out a 1/4 cup of oats this morning and I’m STARVING. Because it’s Career Day, the teachers brought in food and there’s a nice spread waiting for lunch. I figured I’d give myself a little more cushion to enjoy the goodness my coworkers and I brought in. CAN.NOT.WAIT. Let’s hope I don’t get seriously hangry.

Did I tell you guys?
Remember how I wanted to run 135 miles in April? Wellll….. I RAN 167! Whoop! There were a couple of extra runs added here and there to put me over my original goal. So that’s awesome! Now about weighing 135… didn’t happen.  I’m hoping now that marathon training is over, I can focus on intake and output and not have to worry about making sure I’m taking in...
