Missing my Daily Blogging!

So it's been a little while since I posted.   Been so busy with things that I just haven't provided myself with the time to sit and read blogs and post.   But I'll keep trying.  
I miss this thing I call "Blog World".  I used to spend time in the morning before work reading and writing on my blog, then more in the afternoon and evening.  It kept me going, kept me focused.  There is so much going on right now, it seems the only time for me to work on reading blogs and posting is in the evening.  I try to check in during the day, but then I get lost in "Blog World" and distracted from working.  I'm also working on a "secret sewing project" which takes up my time every evening and will be an ongoing project until.... I really have no idea when it will be done.  But I'll keep trying.  I really do miss it, and blogging has been  such a tremendous part of my weight loss journey. 

I am struggling with my eating habits.  I just can't seem to get a hold on the weekends and nighttime snacking.  I am still at goal weight, but just feeling a little "out of control" at times.  The past few days have been much better though.  I've tried to stick to yogurt with a little crunchy high fiber cereal for my evening snack.  I really do LOVE yogurt for a snack, but when there are other things in the house,  I have a hard time staying away.

I am now TEN DAYS away from the big day, my first half-marathon, and I am ready. I am anxious, a little nervous, and very excited!  The extra running lately has been throwing my "hungry senses" into high gear.   Last week was rough.  I was either sick to my stomach (I think I had a bug) or hungry.   I keep saying I'm going to get some protein powder to add to my smoothies, but they're all kind of pricey for my budget right now.  Maybe this week. 

Any other suggestions on fueling the body when you're in high activity mode?
