I debated it for a long time though and finally realized 1. It’s birthday week and 2. the bottle will turn if we don’t drink it.\u00a0 There’s still some left too!\u00a0 Which shows how small our tastes have been.

My new wakeup time until the sun catches up to the time change is now 7:30am.\u00a0 Rocky seems to be okay with this as he hasn’t protested the sleeping in.\u00a0 I got up this morning and took care of him, cursing the weather.\u00a0 It’s cold again.\u00a0 Nothing crazy but in the 30s with lows in the 20s at night.\u00a0 I am so over cold!\u00a0 I don’t want to deal with it anymore.\u00a0 When everyone else was losing motivation during November-January because it was cold and winter and they didn’t want to workout, I was out busting it, no problem.\u00a0 But now is when I’m struggling with motivation.\u00a0 It’s a good thing I’m training for this half!\u00a0 Otherwise, to be honest, I would not have run today at all.\u00a0 It’s cold (high to be low 30s today) and a bit windy.\u00a0 Meh.\u00a0 At this point, I’m more susceptible to backing out of runs due to weather.\u00a0 I just don’t have the umph to bundle up!<\/p>\n

Just a bit <\/p><\/div>\n
But I ran today.\u00a0 I changed into my clothes and just had the worst defeatist attitude.\u00a0 I hated putting on all those layers again for my run.\u00a0 I did 4.5 miles with some pickups thrown in at the end.\u00a0 My time wasn’t great and the entire time I was being negative with myself about how it was cold and I didn’t want to be outside and blah blah blah.\u00a0 Horrible attitude.\u00a0 When I got back home, I had a bit of CS<\/abbr>, woke Scott up, and then did some yoga stretches.\u00a0 Changed into recovery clothes and made a bowl of oats!\u00a0 That’s what kept me going this morning, knowing I was going to make some oats today when I got home.<\/p>\n mmm chocolate <\/p><\/div>\n Standard oats:<\/p>\n Mix-ins were cranberries, chocolate chips (since I didn’t have any last night! fuel <\/p><\/div>\n Plus coffee.\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 Breakfast was awesome and totally what I needed today.\u00a0 I also had another small bit of coffee with silk creamer (which is a poor substitute for actual creamer).\u00a0 I did some blog stuffs and some worky things and showered so I could get warm. veg time <\/p><\/div>\n So I made a big salad!<\/p>\n Salad was awesome!\u00a0 In the middle is a sliced red delicious.\u00a0 My salad was even too big, I couldn’t finish it!\u00a0 I had about 1\/2 I think and 1\/4 of the apple.\u00a0 This salad was so filling, it was totally incredible.\u00a0 Keep in mind, Scott had the same thing, so the chik’n patty was split between us.\u00a0 Man I very much wanted to keep going but my bellah said no way.<\/p>\n After lunch I ran Rocky out for a quick walk in the cold (again miserable and negative thoughts the whole time. I need to get past this.) and now I’m off to get some other things knocked off my to-do list!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi guys!\u00a0 Whoa did you see all the comments for the birthday giveaway?!\u00a0 That’s fantastic! \u00a0 I did indeed have a very small glass of wine last night.
