i was going to write a nice little blog post but instead i got sucked into words with friends.  has anyone ever played that??  i have like 17 games going at once.  anyway... quick update.  did i tell you i worked an 82 hour week?  how is that possible, you ask?  it is not... but with the help of Mr. Ritalin, i did it.  somehow.  and i didn't cry, which is pretty much amazing.  i'm obviously slacking on exercise, due to said workload... but i think i'm on the right track.  i am currently at 143.  i am hoping to lose 9 lbs by September 15th, the end of busy season.  usually people gain weight during busy season, but I am determined to lose it!  the calorie counter says i shouldn't get to that low until October 2nd.  i guess that would be fine too... but I'm going to try.  i need to make it a priority to exercise regularly during this time of year.  that can be hard.

I had planned to do a fast 5 when i got home yesterday and all of today, in preparation for my date tonight.. but after work I went to the gym and hopped on the treadmill  I ran for 27 minutes... pretty slow, but at least I did it.  When I got home, I don't know why I ate.  At least I ate healthy... pita chips and hummus.  Well... sort of healthy!!  So now I'm torn between not even doing the Fast 5 today. Hmm not sure.

I got a prescription for ritalin yesterday.  Does anyone know much about this?  It's extended release, so I heard its not great for "loss of appetite" side effects... Although I really need it to work, so that would just be an added bonus

i finished the 10k!!  My body is not happy with me today.  And I'll definitely be wearing flats this week at work.  Wow I am proud of myself for finishing!!!  I made it in an hour and a half, which is not fast at all... but given that there were 60,000 people there, when we did walk, we were walking pretty slow!  I need to keep up the running training, but I'm also excited to get to use the elliptical again.  Not even sure when the last time I hopped on that machine... if I'm doing cardio... I'm running!!  I have many months of magazines waiting for me!

I'm feeling hugely fat.  Today I went into work wearing shorts and a tank top, and I walked towards a full length mirror in the bathroom.  My thighs jiggled as I walked, and it looked like fat/cellulite shaking.  It made me so sick.  Of course when I came home.. I ate M&Ms after getting a bagel topped with cheddar cheese.  I need to get this under control.  I have my 10k tomorrow.. so I need to make sure I eat normally today, but after that, I'm not going to ruin my young life being fat and ugly.  I am going to make a week long meal plan to make sure I keep track of calories... starting tomorrow.
