>How Tuesday night went...
Well, last night I had to skip the gym because when I got off work at 5 I had to go pick up my son and head straight home to change into my basketball coaching clothes and rush to the gym to coach my daughter's basketball game. I was less than thrilled with the idea of a game on a Tuesday night because normally we practice on Friday nights and have games on Saturday mornings. Due to the bad weather we had over the weekend we had a missed practice as well as a missed game. Bummer. The last time this happened we did not make up the practice or game. This week was a different story. I hate when my schedule is knocked out of whack! I really missed my time at the gym (to work out) last night. I was grumpy when I got home and knew that if I had gotten my run/workout in I would have felt much better. I did walk the court a bit so I might have burned a few calories that way and I guess that is better than nothing, right?!

Food/weight related talk...
My eating has been going pretty well this week. I've pretty much eaten convenience type foods for my lunch and I am ok with that. I know it may come as a surprise after my rant from yesterday regarding the whole "Fast Food Diet" thing but I feel it isn't quite the same, maybe related. I picked up a few Progresso Light soups and some Healthy Choice meals to bring as my lunches this week. I know some people would advise me to stay away from those "processed" foods especially with trying to lose weight (and normally I would) but this week it was about what was quick for me. So flame away if you must, I probably deserve it! lol Just be gentle. ;) My hubby made a large crockpot full of white chicken chili Monday night and that's what we had for dinner last night. I was sure it was loaded with all kinds of sodium and that the scale would reflect that this morning. BUT I was surprised when I got on it and I wasn't up. Yay. So, this being the middle of the week and all I am hoping that when I weigh on Friday I will see a loss (even if it is just a few ounces because at this point I will take what I can get). I had been doing my weigh ins on Mondays and then realized that the weekends I don't do as well and Monday weigh ins weren't good for my attitude! lol So, Friday will now be my weigh in days!

Wednesday's agenda...
Today I have all my food planned out and logged into SparkPeople! I like having that done first thing in the morning because it keeps me more accountable through the day when it comes to what I put in my mouth. The half marathon training schedule calls for a 2 mile run or cross training for today. I think I will do the running but might throw something extra in there, too. Sometimes 2 miles just doesn't seem like a lot or enough.

Something fun...
You guys should run (pun intended..haha) over to Endurance Isn't Only Physical and checkout her super cool giveaway!

And with that, I am out! I promised myself I would be more productive at work today! :)
