Sometimes, the first step is the hardest

I went for my run yesterday even though I didn't feel like going. And you know what? I felt a million times better after my run and was so glad I went!! It was so much cooler outside and it felt amazing. I did let myself walk about 1/3 of it but that was because I wanted to enjoy the cooler temperatures!! I've got a 7 mile run planned for today and I'm thinking I will run the entire thing (or at least try my darnedest).

Last night we ended up ordering pizza for dinner b/c neither one of us felt like pork chops. But I did so well...I only ate 2 slices and stayed within my calorie total for the day. But then Stephen wanted cookies so I made some oatmeal cookies for him and was doing so well resisting temptation until about 9 and then I had two. Which put me over my calorie total. It's okay though, no big deal. I am proud of myself for only having two slices of pizza and making us salads to eat with our pizza. I am proud of myself for only having two cookies when I could have easily eaten more.

I am so looking forward to tomorrow. I'm getting my pedicure, manicure, and eyebrow wax that I set up as a reward for my 8 day restart thing. I haven't been perfect but I've been pretty darn close and I deserve this reward. Ahhh, I love when they massage your calves as part of the pedicure...
