Took today very easy. I took a fairly brisk walk in the morning to help the lactic acid move on so I wouldn't be too sore. Ate out twice, but stayed within my points. The food log says I had a chicken chalupa, but I replaced the chicken with beans as I'm a vegetarian. After looking and the nutritional info and points value, I can't believe I used to order the meal with TWO chalupas and at taco! What was I thinking? I find myself really craving soda lately. I have only had diet for years so I guess it's not that bad, but I heard before that while normal soda makes you gain weight because of the high sugar content, diet has something in it that triggers cravings. So far I seem fine, but maybe if I cut it out al together for a while I would lose more weight and stop having cravings I forgot I was having. Maybe next week I will cut it out all together and see what effect it has.

Okay, I know, I'm wayyyyy over using the journal today, but I have a lot of thoughts on this whole work out/weight loss thing today.
I am totally drained today. I mean drained to the point that I literally could NOT stay awake. I got the kids in bed and took a cat nap with the oldest in his race car bed. He "read" a book to me and we snuggled up togethere. He's got a bit of a cold so luckily for me he hasn't been begging to run around outside or go for a walk.
I'm blaming my lack on energy on several things:
1) I exercised WAY more than usual today and yesterday. I really pushed myself to work hard. I didn't push myself beyond my limits, but I did push my self as close to the limit as I could. It felt good and I really enjoyed it, and though I was a bit sore from dance class, I felt full of energy all day, so I kept trying to do more. I didn't get quite as much sleep as I should have, so with all the extra activity and not enough sleep, I'm tired.
2) Maybe after all that exercise and strength training, my body is using a lot of energy to repair my muscles? I have no idea if this is a logical theory, but it seems like it could at least be a contributing factor.
3) I also think that cookie dough I had earlier might have something to do with it. I've had sweet treats on my diet, but most of them are 100 calorie packs or Smart Ones desserts which I don't think have as much sugar as that cookie dough did. I think that small snack with so much sugar spiked my blood sugar and then I crashed.
I may be a tad dehydrated, but I don't think that's a major contributing factor.
So, since I have to keep walking my clients dog at least twice a day, 7 days a week, but usually 3 times a day, I think I will stop trying to push myself every time I walk, and I won't do as I had planned before and do 5K training or strenuous walks in the morning before I go to walk him. I think I will limit that to 2-3 days a week for now, just until I've improved my stamina. I will also pay attention to the very sugary snacks I have and see if I have the same sort of crash after.

Every Wednesday I am a nanny for a family in another city. Today we made chocolate chip cookies. I have a weakness for cookie dough. But I think I was reasonably good! I haven't eaten any cookies, but I did pull some cookie dough and looked up the points. I think I had about 4pts (3pts per ounce, plus I licked the mixers.... OKAY OKAY! And the bowl...). I Have also been very active today and have been very careful about sticking to my diet, so I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have to torture myself for eating a little bit of dough. I will be forced to be extremely active over the next few weeks because a client of mine is out of town and I'm pet sitting. This means three 30min walks a day, 7 days a week, for about the next 6 weeks. This is in addition to the dance class I take a school twice a week and the 5K running training I'm doing, which I plan on doing at least 3 days a week since I don't think my client's dog could handle it, but mine can, and need the work out anyway.
In spite of all of this I still feel a bit guilty about eating the damn cookie dough. I know logically it isn't a big deal. I controlled the portion size and I am satisfied with what I had. I don't feel compelled to go eat 6 cookies now. I feel fine. But I had that terrible habit of over eating for so long that I'm used to feeling guilty for treating myself.
Am I supposed to be this sleepy? I need a nap!

I wound up eating basically a second breakfast. I ate a bowl of cereal, but an hour later I was starving, and I don't want to over load on snacks, so I had an english muffin sandwich. I also just did my first session of 5k training! 5 minute walking warm up, 60 seconds of running/jogging, then 90 seconds of walking. You alternate between walking and running, and with the warm up and all it totals about 20 minutes. It was harder than I thought it would be, but I did it!

The hard work is paying off! 3 lbs down!

**Edit**
My mother really frustrates me. She know's I've been on my diet and trying really hard to work out. Last night, in order to ensure that I wouldn't just hit snooze and go back to sleep like I do every other time I say I'll get up at 5am to go walking, I put a pile of books on top of my alarm so that it would be harder to hit snooze. I got up, went to the bathroom, weighed in, and I'd lost another pound. That's 3lbs total in about a week and a half. I was excited and went to my mom's room to tell her (she gets up at 4 am with my dad). She ignored me (I know she heard me) and the second I finished saying "I lost another pound!" She showed me the magazine she was looking at and commented on how cute some candy was. I was totally deflated. I suspect that she may think that I will give up on this diet like I usually have done in the past, so one more pound isn't a big deal because she thinks I'll gain it back in a week or two. She's wrong.
