welcome to december
Yesterday I ran in a new park and it felt nice. I was able to quantify the run by planning on doing 11 laps around it...while I don't know how long this really was, it felt nice to have a countable goal that wasn't time. I think I'll take advantage of that park more in the future.
I'm still eating crap. Some days are better than others and my mornings are great, but I keep sliding in the afternoons.
I have made a great new food discovery, though. In the lowland town where I live prunes are like 50 cents apiece and hence something I had not thought of buying. They come in a package of four prunes and cost $2, way too much! But I just went on vacation and they had them in the market for $4.50 a kg, which is way better. So, instead of buying more souvenirs, I bought a kilo of prunes! Now prunes aren't a requirement of a healthy diet and lifestyle, but I've been having stress/? related constipation and bloating, and two prunes a day has made a noticable difference! This isn't a weight loss thing, it's just an "I feel better" thing!
Weight-wise I am still maintaining (which is shocking considering all I eat). I'd like to be losing again, but I just don't seem to be motivated by "feeling and looking better" any more. I think part of it is that I'm not overwhelmed with images from TV and magazines. This is a good thing, I don't see unhealthily skinny models, but it also keeps me from visualizing my goals. I guess I'll just have to stock up on magazines when I visit home for the winter break!
