Week One Day 2-Learning and Getting into Habit

I can't say this has been a stellar day. Bummer.

This morning we were suppose to have granola.  I made it this morning but it wasn't finished so we had green smoothies.  Unfortunately, my boys did not finish much of theirs (but I drank it) and sweet pea was NOT interested. Bummer. However, they did NOT have cereal which is monumental.........

I ran 3 miles this morning.  I have never been athletic.  I'm a musician.  When I was a teenager and even into my college years, I didn't have an ounce of agility or coordination.  I once had a date that played tennis with me, despite my protests and insistence of how terrible I was, only five minutes before giving up the game.  I didn't not relish physical activity.  I would like to say I have "matured" and gained some motivation.  I always wanted to be a runner but, until about 10 years ago, never had the motivation or confidence to try.  And since than it has been touch and go due to pregnancies and deliveries. But I have been running consecutively, minus the sprained ankle in July (which set me waaaayyyy back!), for almost a year.  Woot Woot!

Anyway, I had reached 2.5 miles the last time I ran and REALLY wanted to push myself to three this time.  I think it was a mistake.  I have been really tired, cranky and dragging my feet all day.  I hope/doubt it's not the food I'm eating.  I did have a lousy breakfast.  There wasn't enough smoothie for me to have a full cup! The granola came out later in the morning and I would take a little here and there but...............at lunch, after snacking on granola I was still hungry.  I ate two plain artichokes (yummers!!!!) and felt a little better.  I've been moody today too. I think I really pushed myself too hard. And I haven't had enough water.

For dinner:  it was a nephews bday and we all went over to his house for dinner. ummmm.....ya. Beef Stroganoff.  The cheating, yummy, AWFUL way. There were carrots and I tried to fill half my plate with carrots.  And, of course, cake- ice cream cake. I wished that I had put the chili I was SUPPOSE to make for dinner in the crock pot and either eaten it before going to my sisters or taken it with me.  I thought about it during the day but never got around to it. (I also teach music lessons all day on Tuesday so I found myself..........well, there's a learning curve here). So I know for next time. Plan ahead.  Make something.  TAKE something. The children, of course, were ecstatic about the stroganoff.  It is one of their favorites. Blah.

I went shopping for a few things. Can't find seeds to sprout. or Flaxseed Oil. I have many questions.  But I forget them.  I just need to write them down. I'll get better at all this little by little right?
