It was so good!\u00a0 I am thinking that on days I don’t have MT<\/abbr> in the evenings, I’ll have my yogurt for breakfast.\u00a0 That way I’m sure to get my yogurt fix in.<\/p>\n
It was light outside by 7am!\u00a0 Holy cow guys that means I get to start my runs earlier, hooray!
\u00a0 I was out the door at like 7:15 and during my run I realized it is time to change up the running clothes.\u00a0 At least for this week.\u00a0 It was in the 20s this morning and I was hot.\u00a0 I need to scale back to one pair of pants and switch to my hoodie instead of my cold weather jacket.\u00a0 My mizuno gloves are actually doing really well!\u00a0 I have to pull my hands inside my sleeves for the first few minutes of my run, but after that I’m golden.<\/p>\n![\"<3\"](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/ohc-02-25-09_cs-300x225.jpg\" "\\"ohc-02-25-09_cs\\"")

I did a nice pace run and did my 4.5 loop then it was back home to some wonderful CS<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n
I did a quick 15 minutes of hatha stretches and flew up the stairs for my shower.\u00a0 After my shower I got a load of laundry started and did some bloggy stuff.\u00a0 I had a mid-morning snack while doing that.<\/p>\n

An orange and some raisins.\u00a0 While I love both, it was weird having the raisins after the orange, they weren’t quite as sweet.\u00a0 I did more work and blog things, then got started on lunch.<\/p>\n

The coleslaw was on it’s last leg and I had to do something with it.\u00a0 I roasted some chickpeas and added that to the coleslaw.\u00a0 I made Scott a pita with it but had mine straight up.\u00a0 Along with some tomato soup, about 1\/2 C and the red pear leftover from yesterday.\u00a0 It doesn’t look pretty but it tasted fine. :p<\/p>\n
After lunch and cleanup, it was time for Rocky’s walk.\u00a0 We are having a gorgeous 50F spring day!\u00a0 So lovely outside!\u00a0 The wind was a little cool when it blew but otherwise it was a very lovely day!<\/p>\n
Paying more attention<\/strong><\/p>\n
I’ve realized that it’s time I need to start listening to what my body wants a little bit more.\u00a0 When I first started changing my diet and eating habits I did this really well.\u00a0 Now it seems I’m letting my mind take over instead of listening to my body.\u00a0 For example last night I had that pita pizza for dinner.\u00a0 I wasn’t very hungry and could have easily had a bowl of cereal or more yogurt and been satisfied.\u00a0 Instead I told myself I needed something with a little more umph since I did just get back from MT<\/abbr> class, so I made the pizza.\u00a0 I ate it but it wasn’t awesome nor did it leave me feeling happy and content.\u00a0 I am a huge beleiver in if I’m eating\/drink this item it needs to feed me and my soul somehow.\u00a0 Either it’s providing energy, or adding to my daily intake of fruits and veggies.\u00a0 Providing protein or providing comfort.\u00a0 Because I fully embrace comfort eating and drinking.\u00a0 Sometimes you have a really bad or really great day and a glass of wine and some cheese is calling.\u00a0 Do it!\u00a0 What I’m saying is that my food needs to move me somehow.\u00a0 I’m not sure if that makes sense or if I’m even conveying this right, but I’m trying.\u00a0 Last night’s dinner didn’t do anything for me and I felt a little blah after eating it.<\/p>\n
Today for lunch, I had too much to eat.\u00a0 I did not eat all of the coleslaw or pear, but did the soup.\u00a0 I only had a small amount of each before I felt content and satisfied.\u00a0 But I convinced myself it was “too little” and I needed something more.\u00a0 Since it was just soup and coleslaw, I should eat a bit more of it.\u00a0 And I did and then I hit the overfull point.\u00a0 Which just feels gross.\u00a0 And I was mad at myself.<\/p>\n
My body knows what it wants and what it needs and I need to give it a little more credit.\u00a0 I need to start paying attention to it more.\u00a0 Sort of like intuitive eating but focusing more on how hungry I actually am and realizing when I’ve had enough.\u00a0 Even if it was just a wee amount, if that is enough, then it’s enough and I need to accept that.<\/p>\n
Anyone else go through a phase like this?\u00a0 Or started to focus more on what their body wants\/needs?<\/p>\n
