Here I Come, Ready or Not!

Ah, got up this morning feeling much more like myself than I have in two weeks!  I'm still having trouble getting out of bed in the morning, and yet again, I'm running late and have to get to work, but wanted to get this post done first.

So like I said, feeling so much more like myself.  I'm ready for the day.  Of course, it does come with a "confession".  I got into the cupcakes last night.  Yep, I did.  My first real "cupcake slip" since I started baking.  I normally allow myself one cupcake, and then the rest are for friends and family.  But last night, they were calling me.  They were out on a plate.  I had one and then didn't even think about it and grabbed another.  Okay.  I'm wrong.  I did think about it and decided to have it anyway! 

So now that's it.  That's the last treat for the week.  Tracking everything, even the cupcakes, drinking lots of water, plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, no extra points for the rest of the week.... and my plan is to get out today for a short run.  I'm so excited to get back out there.  Friday is a special day for me, kind of an anniversary, three years since the very first time I ran, and Friday is also my first scheduled 8-mile long run.  So I need to get out there today and tomorrow and get a few miles in to get these legs working again.

Breakfast this morning was a HUGE omelette with leftover sauteed mushrooms and onion from last night and fresh spinach, eggbeaters and some low-fat feta cheese.  Fueled and ready to for the day!
