G goes on a diet

Rain, Rain go away, I ran all over you today.

So it was pouring rain today, and like all good, normal, fit addicts, I thought: Gee, let’s go run 5km. Now.

So, I did. It was awesome. Some people I knew saw me and cheered me on.

Also, I stopped counting calories today. We went out for lunch and I had a sandwich and salad but then, I bought…an oatmeal cookie. Dun Dun Dunnnn. THEN because I was feeling good and because I wanted one, a mango smoothie. And for a moment I thought : Watch the calories, G. But then I realized that I didn’t give a flying f*ck about how many calories I ate. I was feeling good, healthy and wearing a shirt that had been tight a few weeks ago and that now fit me perfectly (so it was a school shirt. It still counts). So I’m deleting my myfitnesspal account. I’ll eat more than 1200 calories.

Day one….flop into the slush on the side of the road.

So, last night I stay up later than usual, that’s OK, I have no school, but then, Mother bloody Nature wakes me up at 6:20 with EXCRUCIATING abdominal pain along with….the ‘usual’. Feeling down I had a, although healthy, big breakfast. Three muffins ( no crap or oil in them-homemade raspberry almond) and 1\2 cup banana raspberry smoothie….not too bad. But being tired and bored ( how much is there to do at 6:20 a.m with out waking up the family, really?) I added chocolate chips. 1\4 cups. So, I thought, don’t worry, I’m going skating. I did. For around an hour. Then my friend who invited friends and I skating, brought us back to her place (after a peanut butter cookie at the café) to her place where she had prepared a FEAST. Cheese fondue (you dip pieces of white bread in melted cheese, common in Quebec), chicken salad (only healthy thing….not too good taste-wise), party mix and BBQ ruffles ( sneak foods are the bane of my existence….that and winter),these little phylo pastries filled with goat cheese and cranberries (God, they were good) and to top it off, chocolate cake and ice cream. I’m achy from mother Nature and its ‘slushing’ out (slush, the kind you find on the road in the very early spring, falling from the sky). Not to mention the 2 hour Driver’s Ed class Just had to take. I hate myself for saying this,but there is no way that I can find the motivation to workout tonight not even if I stare at a picture of Andrew Scott in the hopes of one day meeting him…..FLOP.
