My run today was 3 minutes faster than yesterday. No idea what yesterday's trouble was but I guess I worked it out.
I wanted to tell you I've been so mad at myself for how I've been eating since I got back to SD. I had really been working on doing better and I was not doing better anymore! And then I realized.....my eating is bad because my eating is bad!
I'm funny. But I have gone back to my old habits of waiting till I'm crazy hungry to eat and, by that time, I am not in charge anymore. What I was doing was making sure to eat breakfast and lunch and maybe some fruit or veggies in between. But I've gotten back to the old habit of not eating till 11 or 12 and that just kind of ruins my self control I think.
I have still been eating a piece of bread with sun nut butter first thing in the am. But then nothing till it's too late. Hopefully I'm back on track now!
Have you noticed in changes in your eating habits since you retired? I suspect I would be snacky!

Congrats on a better run!
Eating. Do you really want to talk about it? I am so discouraged. Right before going to bed is my problem time. Why can't I just get up and go to bed? Ridiculous. I can get through a whole day and do fine with no snacks at all but, then, it's like who cares? I have only lost 1 lb of the 10 I am wanting to lose and keep off. So that's my tale of woe.
On the up side, today was the 3rd day of this rotation so tomorrow's a day off. From running anyway. I'm starting to move furniture and tape the living room and dining room today and hope to have them both painted by tomorrow at supper time. Big job so I don't know but will give it a try.
Yeah, let's talk about it. Because I do the same thing.
For me I think I have such a strong habit drive, if that makes any sense. Once I get stuck in a rut, it is so hard for me to stop. And I find that once I start with eating sweet things, that's the hardest for me.
Have you read about any of these studies that say that willpower is finite? Basically we have X amount of willpower and, by the end of the day, there's very little left. That's why I just started going to bed. I don't know how to fix that, but it explains a lot. To me, anyway.
I don't know how I'll handle the festival of Christmas cookies we have coming up.
That is a big job. Hard work!
I know I don't have much willpower at the end of teh day. That's my problem.
