Emotional eaters...I think I am your leader

When the phone rings at a little before 8:00am I usually know it is someone wanting to know about class or bad news. Today was no different. My home phone rang (by the way some days I forget that I have a home phone) around 8:00am and the news broke my heart. The news isn't important but what I did after I got off of the phone is a direct reflection of my eating style. I got off of the phone and immediately went to the cookie jar. Nice fresh homemade chocalate chip cookies and they were all mine. So on my funky days I just eat to make myself feel better not good, but if you do the same thing...obviously you aren't alone.

Breakfast:
2 cookies
Lunch: Turkey wrap some fritos and a diet coke
Snack: cheerios with a peach
Dinner: Turkey wrap and blueberries
1 miller lite.

Exercise:
strollerfit and restore the core

Brian fell asleep with Jake so I will blog on him tomorrow.

Have a great nite.

At least I ran this weekend....

Well, I was going to plead the fifth and not tell you what I ate this weekend but that wouldn't be fair. But here it is:

Saturday: I ran Hyde Park Blast in the heat and humidity and was soaked by the time I was done. I took a iced tea lemonade from a very kind man handing out samples at the end of the race, I thought it was diet, it wasn't and it cost me 210 calories. (Lesson learned 210 calories is a ton for a drink). Lunch half of a grilled cheese and a peach. Dinner mexican meatballs. They were excellent it was all of the fixings for a taco in a meatball. Also, some fruit and some chips. No pop today...yipeee!!!!! Then we went to West Fest and I had some (ok more than some beer) I can't tell you how much because my glass kept getting filled, but it was a good deal of beer. By the way for those of you who know me well, I did NOT stop at White Castle on the way home even though little hamburgers sounded like a really great idea.

Brian had the same dinner as I had. He also at a tuna fish sandwich (MB you would be proud he had protein) a coke, and some pretzels.


Sunday:
I had to run my hangover off so I agreed to meet the boss and run downtown. Neither of us were motivated so it was a good idea for us to run together b/c we pushed each other to do it. We were running the middle of a triathlon (well, duathlon b/c the swim was cancelled due to the ecoli being too high in the river...who want to swim in the river that is really gross). Anyway, I was once again stunned by the different body types participating in the race. It was great people watching too.

No breakfast I can't eat before I run. So brunch was scrambled eggs.
Black bean and corn salsa with chips for lunch and a snack
Fajita chicken and bean salad with salsa for dinner.
No beer and no pop.

Brian:
French toast for Brian (1 piece)
Lunch cheese and crackers
Dinner: Garlic chicken breast on a salad with ranch and a few croutons.
No pop today.

All in all not a terrible weekend.

We have been getting comments all of the time about the blog. Feel free to comment here or put your food log on here.

Until tomorrow...

No rain in days, but today when I decide to run....

ok..dont' we have enough obstacles in life. Went to the optional cardio get together that we have on Thursday mornings...where were you my friends? Did 3.6 miles of power walking/jogging kids in tow in the stroller. Decided that it would be an excellent night to run to my husband's softball game and since that generally means beer and some coneys it was an easy decision. I drive to where I decided to start running from with the end point being the ball field, 4.5 easy miles. I saw it getting dark but I could out run it, right! Ha ha ha. I was completely poured on but I was half way there not knowing to go back or not. Then it really started raining really really hard and that is when I decided to stop at the church and wait for someone to come get me. So run time wasted and no beer or cheesy fries at the ballpark. I do want to thank the number of Our Lady of Visitation folks who stopped on the street and offered to give me a ride...that was very very kind.

Katie's Day:

Exercise listed above

Breakfast: oatmeal and strawberries water
Lunch: two peaches and a diet coke
water

The big day tomorrow

Well I must admit that I ate pretty crappy today so that when I start blogging tomorrow it will hopefully be a tad bit better. Here is the newest addition to the contest, my husband is going to blog about his eating and exercise habits also for the next 6 weeks. If anyone in our family is reading this, they are already betting he is going to try to give up soda pop AGAIN. Anyway, we will see how day one goes. At least I am in the company of my fellow StrollerFit gals on this one.

Not much for this, but here it is.

Some of the StrollerFit gals are participating in a summer challenge. I will post my challenge here. I will let everyone know my food journal, my exercise and my snacking habits. I will not reveal weight (I don't have a scale) but I will let you know if my skinny minny pants fit by August 1. So check back tomorrow for the first day of journaling. This should be fun, at least for all of you.
