My little Bit of Honey

I know the title of this post is incredibly cheesy, I'm incredibly cheesy. Like we're talking melted queso cheesy. Cheesiest cheeseball there ever was, right here. Party of 1. I'm pretty sure my husband did not know the lengths of my cheesiness before he married me, oh well, he's stuck now. Though after 8 years, he's used to it. I think. Anyways.  Moving on because if I keep talking about cheese I'm going to need to eat cheese.   I went out for my first run in about 3..ish weeks today, I was nervous for a few reasons, I hadn't run in awhile, I've been super sick and my asthma has been killing me lately. I brought my inhaler which I usually never do on a run (and actually had to use it, so good thing). This session was 5 minutes of running, 3 minutes of walking, 8 minutes of running, 3 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of running. The first 5 minutes felt easy, I was going really really slowly but I was into it. After that I had a cramp, but was still ...

So I haven't been doing my best lately, I've been slacking big time on counting calories and getting my work outs in, I know, I know typical. Well despite that I've lost weight. I don't know if it's this horrendous virus that has run through my house or what, but either way, I'm not going to take that for granted. I'm getting back on track so that I don't gain it all back. The hardest part for me is disruption to my routine, I have so many excuses lately "I'm sick" "I didn't go into the office so I can't go into the gym" blah blah blah. Well we've had a very mild winter here so I can't really use weather as an excuse, I've run in the cold and wind before and been fine. Just need to keep my inhaler with me. Being sick is definitely a valid excuse, though. I've seen studies on both sides "exercising while sick gets you better sooner!" or "exercising while sick makes you even sicker" I choo...

I hit my 100 day mark on MyFitnessPal this morning when I logged on. I'll be straight with you, about 75% of that was me just logging on and not actually putting my food in, that last 25% though is what matters most to me though. I've been faithfully logging my calories (give or take a few days here and there) and exactly what I eat. Has it helped? Absolutely. It's kept me on top and kept me motivated, held me accountable for what I'm eating and put it right in my face why I haven't been losing weight. I haven't weighed in for 2 weeks but I'm planning on doing it on Monday to see how it's going. Next week will be tough, I'm in NYC for work for a day and that usually means eating on the go and grabbing dinner somewhere that may not be super healthy. Plus, how can I go to NYC and not get a bagel or a slice? Come on now.. I'll do my best but I'm not going to torture myself.  Anywho. I've been doing really well with running too, I started w...
