Turns out, I have no self control when it comes to delicious cupcakes within my grasp. Yeah, that second half lasted about an hour before it too was gobbled up. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled with my decision to be tempted into getting one in the first place. 

To make up for my bad doing, I pushed my self to do a timed mile in under ten. Guess what?! I did it! I ran my mile in 9:42! How AWESOME SAUCE is that?! 

when I get home tonight, I think I will grab little miss Lex (my dog), and go for a run. Not a serious run c25k run, just a I-want-to-see-where-the-hell-I-am-starting-from run (aka the timed mile)

Don, don don.

You can say I’ve come across a little fitsperation! :-)

Today was a good day. It’s safe to say, I’m back on track! I started out the day by being woken up at SEVEN AM by my oh so loving puppy. Turns out that was a bit of a good thing cause i decided I should run a time mile. So at 730-ish, I was out the door. My mile was 10:40-45, depending on how long it took me to hit stop on my phone timer. Seeing how the last time I ran a mile, outside that number was more like 13:40, I am proud of myself. I’m also proud that I wanted to do it, got up and did it and never planned to do it the night before. 

Today’s chow consisted of cookies, of course, and for dinner I had my mexican salad again. I don’t know if I told you about it, so I will now. Sorry if I already have. My mexican salad is low fat refried BLACK beans + lettuce + chicken, corn and bell peppers cooked in salsa with cayenne pepper. I forgot to add the cheese to tonight’s dish, so it was cheeseless. Oh wells. I’ve also managed to eat an entire pack of raspberries (Before I even got home from the grocery store) and most of a thing of grapes (over the course of the evening), at least they are m&m’s .

After dinner, I took the pup for a nice long 1.5-ish mile walk. And then I had more grapes, which leads me to ask…

Is it bad to binge on fruit?
