Eli became a hundred% higher the previous day, no troubles in any respect along with his belly. i'm satisfied, and just hoping it remains that way!
i used to be debating what to do about dinner final night time--I knew my aunt might have meals, but it would not be very WW pleasant. I had a CLIF bar before I left, and then at her residence, I deliberate to now not consume something. There were cupcakes and a zillion cookies, hamburgers, macaroni and cheese, and tortellini soup. I may want to pass on it all, but the cookies had been truly tempting.
I subsequently determined to make a small one, load it up with frosting, and simply estimate the PP in it. i ended up consuming any other 1/2 of one after that, however i'm glad I failed to move all-out and stuff my face with them.
My mother stated she might power the boys domestic in order that I should visit the appearance Tea that Renee had invited me to at her church. I left my aunt's house and went proper to the church. there has been more temptation--Biscoff cookies!!, and a lemon tart that Renee had made (plus tons of different desserts that I failed to even pass take a look at). I placed a -% of the Biscoff cookies in my handbag to take home for later, and then become seeking to determine if I must have a chunk of the lemon tart.
I ultimately decided to have a bit, and look up the PP later. what's the point of being at intention if I can not enjoy this stuff? I ate a chunk of the tart, and it become delicious! (when I looked up the PP later, I saw that it become 12!! it really is a lot.) The tea become a laugh although, and it was pleasant to chat with adults for a couple of hours ;)

I grew to become on Jillian Michaels' new podcast on my iPod, and headed out for an out-and-back run. After about a half of-mile, I really had doubts approximately finishing. I generally run on an empty belly, and that i think maybe the reality that I ate before heading out made me feel crappy. i used to be debating in my head for multiple miles whether to show round, and that i figured I could flip round at the three.5 mile mark if I desired, and just do 7 miles after all.
After mile three, I started to sense a bit better. no longer terrific, however truely greater bearable. I grew to become round at mile five.five, after which at mile 8 or so, i was hit with a terrible hunger. I by no means sense hungry when I run, but this turned into awful. My stomach hurt badly from being so hungry! i was hoping Jerry could drive by way of to test on me or some thing, so I ought to hitch a trip (I should have introduced my cellphone). The closing couple of miles dragged, however my tempo turned into wonderful! My current half of-marathon PR pace is 9:23/mi, so i was on pace for a 1/2-marathon PR. With some greater paintings, i will get my sub-2:00 half of-marathon time.
I had all the above written before I heard the information about the basic school taking pictures in Connecticut. I normally preserve my weblog quite mild-hearted, but i was absolutely heartbroken these days after I heard approximately it. I sense really horrible for the households of these poor youngsters. Please maintain the families for your thoughts and/or prayers this Christmas. I cannot even begin to imagine how heartbroken they feel proper now.
