Fast. Run.
Today, I decided to fast. While it's not fasting in the literal sense (as I had an apple for dinner), I consumed no more than 200 calories today (including wine and green tea with honey). Tomorrow, I'm going to resume eating healthy meals, but keeping it under 1,200 calories. Depending on my weight tomorrow, I'm tempted to fast again on Friday. I think that's bordering unhealthy, though.
I don't get what my deal is. When I dedicate myself to fasting, I can do it with no problem. There are the hunger pangs here and there, but nothing unbearable. Yet, when I eat normally throughout the day, I struggle with restraining myself in regards to portions, or abstaining from sweets. Even more, abstaining from the urge to bake.
Anyway, in positive, non-starving news, Melissa and I went running tonight. I felt bad because I felt like I held her back by walking after maybe a mile. Talking and running is hard, for the record. Anyway, it felt so good to feel accountable, make time for exercise and DO IT.
I think training for races will only heighten the feelings of accomplishment.
So that's my day. I lost about four pounds today alone. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow.

Be careful with the fasting Beck... With your history it might lead to binging. Plus you don't want your body to tap into your muscle for fuel (lean muscle is beautiful!!!). Keep running with Melissa, nothing like a fried to keep you motivated. You used to run like 6 miles hella fast so you will pick it back up quickly. Glad to see you posting again.
Im so exicted that we are running together :)
And yes running and talking...a whole different ballgame!I was thinking damn she looks like she is doing this so easy. I thought I was going to keel over.
