This week I am embarking on a different approach to the eating conundrum. And trying to get my runs in while I can, knowing I will miss at least a few days over the weekend and maybe into next week.
Wow, that was a cold one! And it got colder after I completed the run, for good measure. Which meant that was my first run in full cold weather gear, I could probably have gotten away with a little less to be honest, I was pretty toasty, but better safe than sorry.
I am having a minor outpatient procedure on Friday afternoon which might lead to some down time on the running. But hopefully not too many days missed.
My latest strategy on eating is to stop snacking on work days. The reality is I work a sedentary job, sitting at a desk all day long. And no amount of early morning running, lunch walks etc. can really counter that entirely. My new thinking is that the smart thing to do is to stop those snacks at my desk and cut back to 3 meals a day. I know this goes counter to the traditional dieting advice. But I think that advice applies better to people who are more active during the day. In my job there is no way to burn the calories from the snack, so they just end up sitting there. It's a theory, and I plan to test it out for at least a month and see how it goes.
