coffee fiend

April 2nd, 2008

Update: Last night for dinner, I had breakfast.

2 small pancakes w/ sugar free syrup
1 piece of sausage
1 egg white

…and it was GOOD!

I have not been a very good girl. I must have had about

6 cups of coffee today
2 cups of green tea!

Still, could not sleep in my bed last night. I’m running on caffeine! The stress factor should be relieved some by tomorrow evening…and then I will sleep just in time for the wedding I have on Friday.

Not sleeping really affects my running, my desire to run, my actual pace, and my comfort level while running. I know I shouldn’t be ready to fall asleep while running but there’s not much sense in me struggling through a ½ hour run either. It’s no marathon! Relief is in sight!

Chris and I headed to dinner tonight with friends. Actually ordering healthy is a pretty big struggle for me. I’ve become a big fan of getting whatever I like (within reason) and cutting it completely in half. My friends often tell me how proud they are of me for doing things like that. Some of them have even caught on and passed it to their family members and friends. They think I’m some kind of genius but I always tell them that I most likely read it somewhere!

I think that tomorrow night will be my next run. I guess I’ll do about 30 minutes or so. Hopefully, I’ll eat a good meal and hit the sheets tonight! I’m ready for Friday.

So far (and yes, I’m a creature of habit!):

>6 cups of coffee
2 cups of green tea

Kashi Heart to Heart Raisin Spice Oatmeal

Spinach & Broccoli Salad w/ Craisins & Quarter sized Garlic Bread
Dressing: Lighthouse Blueberry & Pomegranate Vinaigrette

Sugar Snap Peas

Maybe an apple a tad later and who knows what I’ll eat tonight!
