Diet really is most of the battle

It doesn't matter if you run 13.1 if you still eat poorly, as evidenced by my gain this week.  I do so well in the morning, then, when I get the slightest pang of hunger in the afternoon, I give it all up to eat junk.  Like the doughnuts I ate on the way home yesterday.  They filled me up, but J had dinner waiting and I still ate that too.  I did do amazingly with my water intake yesterday, so I hope to continue with that trend (there was a water bottle in the race bags Sunday, so that's my new work bottle.  Easier to carry around than the cup I was using).


I also needed to add in exercise other than my sporadic running, and the only time to do that is the morning.  I got out of the habit of waking up early a long time ago, but tried again today.  I'm working my way into it, so I started with some push-ups and crunches.  Fingers crossed I make it up again tomorrow!


I also do not think I've been keeping to my goals, so I'm reposting to recommit.


October
-Track calories daily, good or bad
-Drink more water!  
-No more soda
-Run at least 3x a week


I am good at tracking morning calories, but I downloaded livestrong on my phone, so maybe it'll get better?  Water check, soda I have cut back on, but need to cut out.  Running I think I'll move to 2-3x a week.  More often it will be 2 because it's dark before and after work.  And another goal.  Beginning of September, I was a pound away from pre-pregnancy weight.  Today I am 5lbs away.  By Thanksgiving (end of the latest work weight loss challenge!) I would like to be firmly below my pre-pregnancy weight.


In good news, I only have a marathon's amount of miles left to make it to 200 for the year!
