| Today, I said no to pie. I feel bad wasting food, but I don't feel bad about waiting around for a better, hot piece of pie with a vanilla ice-creamy accompaniment. |

Eschewing pie with a firm hand

Gettin' it
FINALLY!
Gah! I made fitness goals in my weight training class, one of which was to reduce my stomach fat by doing more cardio (2x/week actually). I started off doing that, happily! Then, I found time to do my homework when I should have been running/jumping/skipping/cycling on the elliptical. Well, no more! Thanksgiving is coming, along with the other fattening holidays. I am making a choice to start my sugar-cut, cardio-upping now. It seems like it wouldn't be the best time for my willpower, what with all these comforting, heavy, sweet/super salty foods coming my way. But, I am getting some of the biggest projects and presentations of the semester finished BEFORE Thanksgiving break, so I should have ample time to rest and exercise. I'm planning on it.
Today was the first day of getting back on track. I just went out in the 40 degree weather and ran. It was so nice!!! Except my earbuds kept falling out in the first few minutes, so I wrapped up my phone. Then, my sinuses went into overdrive trying to protect me and everything. Mucus and tears starting welling up in my facial cavities. Mmhmm, that's the good stuff. I used my shirt as my sleeve and kept going. I had a hard time breathing, so I walked a lot, but the point is that in spite of all of these lil obstacles, I finished my run-walk of 2.5 miles! :)
Now that it's all over I'm still a well of mucus, but I feel like my insides have been cleaned out. I FEEL SO GOOD! It was painful, but the sweetness of the shower afterward, this mug of green tea, and cuddling up under my blanket for these 40 minutes until class starts are all made sweeter by that 2.5 miles of butt-busting...or should I say visceral fat busting? What's up!!!
Sure did! :)
