I BECAME A CHEATER!

Back to some journaling.  Thank goodness I enjoyed it, otherwise, I'd be in deep doodoo.  Wait...I was in deep doodoo this morning.  First poopy toilet overflow all over the bathroom floor.  Nice. And no, I won't share who the culprit was.

Let me just start off by saying, I've kept MOST of my habits intact since I stopped blogging to the world my list of foods consumed.  No diet coke (many, many, many countless thanks to Dr. Kelly at Tree of Life!), artificial sweetener, and food scheduling.  However...what I have started doing again is snacking while making dinner around 5:00pm.  So, no more!  Oh yeah, I've also started sneaking in chocolate and some sugary foods a few times too.  I blame the Easter Bunny.

Saturday, April 21st
I woke up at 6am to get my run in for the day.  I signed up for the Chicago Women's Half-Marathon on June 24th.  This is my 3rd week of training, and I am enjoying the runs.  It's been since November since I ran my last half in Savannah, GA, so getting back to a running routine has been nice.  Ran 8 miles.

Breakfast:
After I returned from my run, I consumed a bowl of Special K Red Berries Cereal with a banana, frozen wild blueberries, and almond milk.  Big surprise!  I had a 12oz. mug of a Chai Latte to top off my breakfast.

Lunch:
GREEN MONSTER!

Snack:
Lemon Bar Larabar - yums!

Dinner:
Yes, this is where I become a CHEATER!  While the turkey burgers are on the grill and sweet potato fries are baking, I consume Simply Naked Pita Chips topped with Classic Olive Muffalata both from Costco.  Sidebar:  Today I checked out the grade these chips get on my fooducate app. and they received a D+.  Tossed the rest of the bag in the garbage.  Kept the Muffalata though.  There's a lot of uses for that stuff.  It's good!

OK, dinner:  Turkey burger on a bun, sweet potato fries, spinach salad topped with sweet peppers and creamy balsamic dressing.

I went to a concert this evening and while there, I drank 2-10oz glasses of Miller Lite.  There's no way those glasses were more than 10oz. and at $7 a pop!  Seriously?

Evening Snack:  When I got home from the concert, I had a Mini Babybell Light cheese round.  These are really good, and they're the light variety.  Sometimes, light cheese tastes funky.  These don't.  I buy them at Costco.

It's good to be back!  Studio's coming along very well, and today I wrote my last Elmhurst Boot Camp newsletter.  Looking forward to trudging along to things I love...
