I was out of the house most of the day so racked up 13,000 steps. Didn’t really eat that much while I was out (had a really filling breakfast so didn’t get hungry until the afternoon, and I sated that with a Nakd bar) and even after I came home and had my usual lunch, I still had a load of calories to eat to get my numbers in balance. CT5K was on tonight and it is literally (literally) freezing outside, plus my buddy couldn’t go tonight and with my burn already being quite high I was like eh I’ll just skip it tonight. But then I thought that’s a really stupid reason for not going, so I did and it was great, but then I ended up with like 900 calories to eat and it’s 10pm and I am not feeling it. So I ate two tbsp of peanut butter and I’ll leave the rest - I went over yesterday so I’m just taking it as today cancelling that out. As someone who tends to get obsessive about numbers and with a history of disordered undereating, it says a lot (I think) that I ate that peanut butter.
Two things really motivated me to still go to CT5K today - one is I changed my phone background to a quote that reads “Decide that easy will no longer suffice” - which is kind of my motto for 2016 - so that I can stay motivated longer. That worked. The second is that I bought a dress for my graduation today (which is in two weeks exactly, as it happens) and it’s just the slightest bit tight. It looks okay, but it would look better if I toned up a tiny bit - and although two weeks is not really long enough to notice a huge difference, I still think I should make every day count.
