Ran 5 miles today in 50 minutes
As I was crossing over Monument Ave. and running into the neighborhood I saw it. All by itself, crumpled up and waiting for me. I was feeling lazy today and really did not want to go for a run but the sun was out again for only the second time in the past week and a half I almost felt obligated to go and just "be" in the sun. I also "OVER" ate big time last night. We had steaks and my wife makes this amazing homemade pasta alfredo. I started out ok only having half of the steak but then
I dove into the pasta. It's my favorite thing other than chocolate. I love pasta. So, of course when I saw that dollar bill just laying there I was like "wow, that's awesome. This literally paid off today." Cool.
So I've been thinking about my triggers. Those moments when I feel the urge to eat my self silly for absolutely no reason at all. Here's the list:
- Boredom
- Tired
- Bad mood /Bad hair day/ Apathy all around kinda day
- Eating while I'm watching my favorite shows. It's like I feel this mental "need" to eat while I'm watching television. It's weird!
- About 30 minutes after lunch and 30 minutes after dinner. Even if I ate a big dinner or lunch I still have this weird "need" to fill my stomach.
- T.V eating - "Ok" to have a snack but nothing after 8pm
- Issues after eating lunch and dinner - Make sure I'm eating enough for breakfast. It's the champion food right?
- Smaller plates at dinner - Trick the eyes to the soul into thinking I'm filling up my plate.
Here are helpful links on "Triggers"
Smaller plates
When you do one thing right (exercising) it spurs you on to do right in other areas...
