I was doing pretty darn well, then Christmas came. Sigh...
I really need to figure out how to handle these things better next year!
I WILL be getting back on the horse again, I just need to figure out a better plan of attack and how to keep this going for the long run. I feel awful, and tired, and almost sick to be honest. I have been eating a ridiculous amount of cookies & sugar, and I know that I'm crashing. Blech.
Anyway, tomorrow is a new day, and 2012 is almost here! No better time to start again, right? Even if it is for the 100th time.... ;)

Wednesday - Another early morning!
I met Stacey early this morning for a run again - we jogged around City Park, and it was great. SUPER cold, but great! I rode my bike into work today too, and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was definitely chilly, but I bundled up! Any way to keep moving!
FOOD
Scrambled tofu w/ nutritional yeast over arugula, about 1 tbsp organic ranch dressing, 1/4 an avocado, diced tomato, and salsa.
Juice: 3 carrots, 1/4 a sweet potato, 1 apple, 1 orange, about 6-8 strawberries
Stove-popped organic farmer's market popcorn! (I was so proud of myself for making it this way!) Sprinkled w/ nutritional yeast, and some flavored popcorn seasonings.
Leftover whole wheat lasagna noodles (cut into strips) topped with tomato / red pepper soup, 1/2 a fake italian sausage link, black beans, tomatoes, 2 thin slices of polenta (cubed & seared), some spinach, and about 2 tbsp of Daiya vegan mozzarella cheese.
Takeout Chinese food (rice, veggies, curry sauce, egg rolls)
2 whiskey-gingers
EXERCISE
30 minute jog with Stacey
Bike ride into work

Tuesday - skatin' around
Sunny & I met up early this morning to do some more skate training at the warehouse. It was pretty rough (as usual) - my feet need to build up their calluses again, and I was exhausted. It was great though, and I really really needed it!
Only thing about these mornings is that I don't have much time when I get home to get ready for work. Hence I grabbed kind of an unhealthy breakfast on my way out the door... but at least I ate breakfast, and I didn't get something fast-food-like!
FOOD
Coffee w/ splash of soymilk & maple syrup.
Amy's organic Mac & Cheese TV dinner w/ hot sauce (hey, it's probably still better than getting a breakfast sandwich or burrito somewhere!)
Brown rice topped with fresh arugula, tomato / red pepper soup, 1/2 a fake italian sausage link, black beans, red onion, 1/4 an avocado, some firm tofu cubes, and about 2 tbsp of Daiya vegan mozzarella cheese.
2 beers
1/2 a cheese & veggie quesadilla
4 jalapeno poppers
I kinda felt like crap after eating all that cheese... probably a good thing that John ignored my request to stop at Dairy Queen so that I could get a vanilla milkshake! ;)
EXERCISE
40 minutes of skating drills, sit-ups, and leg lifts.
Bowling with John! 3 games total - that's a lot for me.

Monday - Christmas will be here SOON!
I just realized that Christmas is only 2 weeks away - holy cow! Crazy how time flies...
Stacey & I met for a very cold run this morning, but it felt great. I've been running without music lately, and I actually think I like it better. I feel like I'm calmer, and that I'm using it as kind of a time to meditate in the morning. Also, the last 10 minutes or so of our jog, we actually had a CONVERSATION!! It was pretty awesome! First time we've ever been able to do that. :)
FOOD
Fresh spinach topped with salsa, black beans, 2 small slices pan-seared polenta, 1 egg + 1 egg white (mixed with about 1 tbsp ricotta cheese).
Juice: Strawberries, 2 carrots, 1/3 a sweet potato, 2 apples
Brown rice topped with fresh arugula, tomato / red pepper soup, 1/2 a fake italian sausage link, black beans, and about 1/4 a cup of shredded mozzarella.
1 bottle of Guayaki Yerba Mate tea (Peach Immune support blend)
Tortilla Pizza - large tortilla, canned tomatoes / sauce (no salt), fresh spinach, mushrooms, red onions, garlic salt, mozzarella cheese.
2 glasses red wine, 3/4 a beer.
Wheat Thins with 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese & maple syrup. (uhm, night-time snacking, wha?)
EXERCISE
25 minute jog
20 minutes on Wii Fit

Oh the weekend...
This weekend I was a bad girl (again). Why do I struggle so badly on the weekends? Because it's "relaxing" time?
This is an area that I will definitely need to work on when January comes, and really focus on. It's my biggest weakness!!
Otherwise, I did get in a good workout on Saturday because I snowboarded for a good 5+ hours! Woohoo!

YEAH!! Friday has arrived!!
I struggled like a whiney 4-year-old to get out of bed this morning. I planned to do a run at 6am, but hated the idea of leaving my warm bed for the cold outdoors. But after hitting my snooze about 5 times (sorry, John!) - I did get up. And I went for a run. And it felt GREAT. :)

Juice: 1 apple, 1 pear, 3 carrots, 1/3 a sweet potato, 1/2 a lemon
