Thank god for spring

I've been pretty seriously down in the dumps for the past week or so (yes... due to a boy) and it's been affecting my health and my ability to eat right.I really, really don't like admitting it much less living it, so I am happy to say that the bright - but coolish - spring day and my first outdoor run has at least taken my mind off the shitty parts of life. It's reminded me of what I am capable of and what I've been successfully doing for the past four (!!) months. And although running outdoors started out a bit tough, I really got my groove after the first kilometer. I ran just about 6.8km (4.25mi) total with only a slight walk after 4miles before booting it home. I was worried that I would run really slowly outdoors after being used to the treadmill pacing me, but it was actually just fine. I came in at about the same time as previous ~4.25mile runs and I like running at a varied pace anyway - putting my foot to the pavement with the music (although note to self: get some new music). I also secretly worried that I wouldn't be able to do it - run outside again, I mean. I remember how tough it was to slog on the treadmill after getting used to the outdoors, so I figured that going the opposite way would just be as difficult. And after all the effort I put into succeeding on the treadmill I really didn't want to go backwards and end up running slower and shorter distances than the boring-ass treadmill (I do seriously hate that thing). It would have crushed my already fragile spirit (temporarily so... but fragile nonetheless).

And no worries... I'm not actually eating horribly or anything. I'm eating well within calories, just not choosing the best options at the moment. And when I think about my boy situation it makes me want to eat just to get my mind off of it, but I haven't yet. Cheat days are still reserved for Sundays and that's the way they will stay. But the weight isn't falling off me like it was last week (I'm stuck at about 205), but that could easily be because I feel like ass (super stuffed up nose and super sore throat) and I'm achy... and I haven't been getting as much fibre and I haven't been uber drinking my water... so any idea of the goals until Sunday?
