Jet Lag and Time Changes, Oh My!

I did something this morning that I have not done in a very long time.  I slept in until 11:00!  Obviously the jet lag and three hour time change affected me more than I thought.  I am glad that I took today off work because I would have probably been one grumpy girl today.  The jet lag affected my brain more than I thought, too.  I reread last night's post and chuckled to myself at all of my typos.  There were so many of them I had to go back and edit yesterday's post to change the mistakes.  I am anal like that.  (If you notice anymore in yesterday's post feel free to point them out to me so I can fix them.)

When I finally did manage to wake up this morning, I had a bit of a mental battle with myself.  I was debating whether I should track points and eat well today or just scrap it until tomorrow since I would be back at school and my routine.  I am happy to report that I chose not to scrap it until tomorrow (old Allison would have) and that I did my run / walk first thing and have been tracking points.  It is crazy how many times daily you have that mental battle with yourself.  Making lifestyle changes is difficult and a constant fight. 

I did something new today during my training.  I was inspired by my five minutes of running nonstop at the end of my run / walk on Saturday.  I decided that the last five minutes of today's workout I would run the entire time.  I did it!  I am so proud of myself, and I am going to try to do this every time.  I want to build up to running without walking at all.  Thank you, Randi, for challenging me to do this on Saturday! 

Tomorrow is a walk for 30 minutes day.  My plan is to get up at 5:00 a.m. to complete this.  I just hope I can go to bed at a decent time tonight since I slept in!  Happy Monday!
