Office Food

Yesterday was a bust. I'm so over Holiday office treats. The past week has been so full of chocolates, cookies, and candied popcorn from Vendors. I'm a sucker for assorted chocolates, or any chocolate for that matter, so it's been a very hard week. 

Yesterday, I tried really hard to resist the food table. I started with a high protein breakfast to make sure my hunger was manageable. It worked for the morning, but I got caught up in finishing a project that was due and soon it was almost 1:30...the time that the café closes. I went and got a salad, filling it with grilled chicken so the protein would tide me over for the rest of the day. When I got to my desk and took a bite of the salad, something was off. The chicken was bad!  By this time the café was closed, and I hadn't brought my lunch....AND I was starving. I decided to hit up the work food table, which had been picked over and all the healthy options were gone. :(  Once I started on the cookies and chocolates, I couldn't stop. :(

I'm so glad the Holiday season is almost over. Thank goodness we bought a treadmill and I've been able to run during this time. It's the only thing that has kept me from gaining weight over the past two weeks!

Failed Challenge

Well, hello. It feels like forever since I've been on here. I promise to try and do better. I always feel like I have to plan out a big blog and be organized to post, and when I can't give the time or energy, I feel like I can't post.  I'm going to attempt to just post like a diary and try to keep it up. 

The 20 day challenge ended somewhere around day 12. I just got bored with it...oh yeah, and I got a job, so I've had a hard time keeping up with running. 

I've got a goal to run 3 times a week. I've done pretty good with it. I've been running both Saturday and daub day and one week day. The problem is that it's dark when I run during the week and I'm fearful of being murdered!  

I've been eyeing a treadmill on Amazon since going back to work, and Black Friday weekend it went on sale for $250 off!  I couldn't pass it up, so I got it. It's the ProForm 995c and it's supposed to be delivered today between 2-6! 

I'll still run on the weekends outside. I much prefer running outside...even in this 15 degree weather!  I've asked for some cold running gear for Christmas, so I'm hoping that will help with the cold. 

Well, I better get ready to run if I'm going to get 3.75 miles in before the kids' swim lessons.
