Working My Shit Out

Last week I had a weak moment. I was coming home from work and I realized I needed gas. I rejoiced in this realization because the gas station I go to is right next to Walgreens. I knew that with Easter being over, there would be a big sale on Easter candy, and that there might be a chance to get some Cadbury Mini eggs one last time, and get them on the cheap. Double bonus.  So I decided to go to Walgreens first so I could eat candy while the gas pumped. I went in and looked at the nail polish (another vice and addiction I have...that story is for another day...) and I then meandered over to the Easter isle. No Cadbury Mini Eggs. Damn it. They DID have some big Cadbury chocolate filled eggs though. So I picked one those up, a thing of Swedish Fish Easter Eggs, a bag of Easter Candy Corn, and a Russell Stover Carmel Egg. I usually get Cadbury, but they didn't have any caramel ones left. I also found a solid Dove Chocolate Easter Bunny. Listen to me...I s

So...I am on Spring Break, as mentioned before. So far I have done AWESOME and not eaten anymore mini eggs of shame, or gorged myself on random foodstuffs. As a side note, "foodstuffs" is an actual economic term. WTF is that about?? What a weird little compound word...makes me feel like we are eating grains out of burlap bags...or our of giant cans...or something... Anyways! I really want to try to run outdoor this week...but of course, all the sudden, it is freaking winter again. It is freaking 40 degrees out. Sunny, yes, chilly, yes, certain death for my asthmatic lungs-YES. I am not pleased. Yesterday it was 40 and rainy...at least it is sunny today. But not way in hell can I rapidly breath in all that cold air! The 5k is in 2 and a half weeks. I need to run in the ACTUAL outdoors at some point before this race. Tomorrow is supposed to be 60 degrees, day after that 65. I think that will be fine. Esp because it is going to be sunny. Woot! I am really wanting to cook

This week is my schools spring break. I often have mixed feelings about long breaks. On one hand, I am SO freaking happy to get a break from the stressful part of my job. But then on the other hand, I miss my kids. I got a Rainbow Loom with my little sister this weekend and have made some pretty cool bracelets, and the first thing I thought was "Ooo!!! I can show the kids on Monday!!!!!......oh wait. Never mind." The other issue is that I do NOT want to eat everything in sight. Namely, I don't want to be chillin and then all the sudden (just like I did 5 minutes ago) want to binge on candy. Like Blowpops of Mini Eggs. At least Easter will be over soon. The mini eggs will go away soon...I am fighting that "Just go get one more bag before they go away for a year again..." BLAH. So far today I have made good food choices. Need to keep it up. I also need to be sure that I work out this week. I need to go to the gym today as well. I have been actually using
