One Small Jog for Stacy, One Giant Leap for Procrastinaters Everywhere

I did it!! I completed the first work out for the couch to 5k plan! For me, and probably a lot of people, taking that first step to starting anything new is the hardest and I didn't procrastinate even 1 day! What's happening to me? It was definitely a challenge but it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. And I didn't cheat! (or trip)

While I was slogging (slow jogging) along the Pilgrim track it felt great to know I had taken the first step to being able to run. The sun was out, the wind was blowing...it was a perfect day to be outside. Although it was slightly discouraging when I looked to my side and saw the bleachers slooowly creeping by while I was working through a leg cramp. But hey, I did what I could and I felt great when the workout was over.  Do I dare say I almost enjoyed it? I think I did. Again, what's happening to me?

While I accomplished one thing, I gave up on another. The cabbage soup diet went out the window. I'm sick of the soup and didn't want the same rice and corn dish for lunch AND dinner. So I had my beef tips and greens again tonight. I wouldn't say I'm totally of the diet, I just made modifications. I'm sure it won't really matter that much. My calorie intake is still way under what I normally eat. Only 14 hours until I can chose my own food again. And I chose my cheat meal! Are you ready for the big reveal?! (I know this is the only reason anyone reads this. To find out what I'm going to eat.)

I'm going to go to Meritage (if you haven't been, GO!) and am getting a side order of lobster mac & cheese and either a small antipasti, or I'm going to split calamari with Leah. To drink, either a glass of wine or a martini. Is is sad I've read their menu like 5 times to pick out what I want to eat? Meh, I don't care if it is.

Tomorrow is going to rock!! I have the day off, I'll see the final results from all my hard work for the last 8 weeks (including my BMI), do some yard work (it's good exercise and gives me pride that I at least don't have the WORST kept yard in the neighborhood) and then I'm going out for a delicious meal. No picking through the few meager "healthy" options on the menu trying my best to calculate the calories and eating double steamed veggies for this chica!

Nothing else to report really. My calf hurts, so I put icy hot on it. That's about it. Until next time,

"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!"

If anyone knows what show the quote is from, my dad loves you.

psstt, I think Stacy's lost her mind...
