Oh dear, Thanksgiving. I'm not huge on a lot of Thanksgiving food, so I wasn't worried about it... I should have been. My aunt made all these little desserts- all small enough to pick at, so I did. Allllllll day. And all day today on the leftovers. Thank god I think they are gone now, but still. :( Sad face that now I doubt I'll be hitting the 40 lb lost mark this week or soon.

On the other hand, YAY for exercise! I came home on Tuesday and on Wednesday ran 30 minutes. Then today, I kept putting off the gym... putting it off more... and occasionally thinking, "Well, if I don't go today, there's always tomorrow." Bad thoughts to get into. But finally at 6:45 I got off my butt and went and it went really well. I did my 5 minute warm up, ran 32 minutes, walked 2 1/2 or 3 minutes, and then ran to finish the 5K distance (only 2 or 3 more minutes I think, although I wasn't paying attention to the time at that point.) Then did more cool down and came home!

I have to say, although at times I HATE running when I'm trying to get off the couch and to the gym or around 20 minutes into the run, I LOVE it afterward and pretty much any other time. I love telling people that I've started running, I love how I feel for the day after a good run, and sometimes even during a run when I feel really good and like a real athlete. I'm really glad that finishing C25K didn't lead to me getting lazy with it. And hopefully if it ever does, I can come look at this blog post and remember why I am doing it!
