This picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post; except that it's very close to Valentine's Day and I just love this happy picture of me and my sweetie.
Well, I'm half-way through my sweet, sugary, blissful, yummy goodness FAST. 100% success so far. The major temptations I have had to overcome include: gooey brownies at Dinner Club night, a HUGE box of Dove chocolates for my birthday, my entire family ordered either chocolatey lava cake or creme brulee at my b-day dinner , a student gifted me red velvet cupcakes, chocolate/cream cheese cupcakes at my birthday party, Davenport's famous soft peanut brittle, donuts in the staff room 2x and a student brought me donuts in class today. Still to overcome: Valentine's Day sweetness. I will admit that I have definitely prayed more in the past 11 days than I have ever before. And that's the whole point!
In other news, I'm training right along - but I am having a little trouble with my attitude lately. Two weekdays I have very long training bricks to accomplish. I may actually
hate my life both of those days. I tried to get up this morning at 4:00 to get one of my workouts done - but my bed was too warm and comfy to get out of so early. I keep trying to think of ways to reorder my day's activities to fit in the workouts so they cause less stress. Not happening! If it was light earlier in the morning - I'd just get my run done. My resolve for next week is to get my buns outta bed in the early AM and suffer a bit. Also, I should remind myself that this is a life choice :).
Happy early Valentine's Day to all you sweethearts!!!

Great work thus far, the hardest is over! Your hard work and early mornings will pay off soon enough. Noticing you need to move things around is a good thing, most dont notice the little things that can make a big difference!
So no sweets to Oside now ;)
Keep it up. I hope you find that balance but you have put in a ton of hard work already so just keep moving forward and before you know it you will be relaxing in SoCal enjoying life.
Nice work, lady. I'm definitely impressed! I hope you find a balance in your workout schedule that doesn't include getting up at 4am! That's just plain crazy talk!
