I run so I can eat

That's what my favorite Bondiband says: I run so I can eat. But in this case, it should say "I ate, so I need to run!" Wow, did I ever eat a lot over the weekend! Like, everything in sight, former fat girl style, just chowed down. Good thing I ran 9.5 miles on Saturday, but that didn't put a dent in it!

Today I made it to the gym and got about 4.5 miles in before work. I'll run before work this week on Tue, Wed and Thu, too. Maybe even Friday. And I've got 12 scheduled for Saturday. If I do all that and eat right all week, then maybe I'll be back to where I started before I took a trip to binge-ville.

Job stress (as in, we're having layoffs and I'm waiting to see if I still have a job) has definitely played a role, but I think I also just got tired of always being the healthy, virtuous chick. However, I feel thoroughly gross and also don't want to regain all my weight, so it's back to healthy virtuousness this week and beyond.

Now somebody hold me to that.

I can relate!!! Food and I have a vicious love triangle that I just can't seem to break free of!!

I'm sending good thoughts about the job situation!

Oh I gave up chocolate for lent, and ate almost a whole bag of those stupid robins eggs.

Nice mileage! What do your mileage weeks look like going into Bayshore?

Did you see the pictures are up? As usual, I look like I got dragged out of a river.

Ah, I found your pic. It looks good. I don't know why there is only 1 though. I bet you have some in Lost and Found.

My pics = I love my sweaty armpit!

Black Bear - I think a little sweat is to be expected when one is running a marathon. :)
