I was afraid this would happen. I reach a significant milestone and get complacent. I haven't been religiously recording my food diaries. I ate way too many snacks last week. I've got a double-edged sword going right now. My sciatic nerve is causing major discomfort, but only when I walk/run. Not when I sit, lie down or even stand. Completely frustrating. So I couldn't run last week.
Instead, I did the exercise bike for an hour on Monday/Wednesday/Friday. They were good workouts, I thought. Increased from 14 miles to 15 miles to 16 miles finally by Friday. But I can just tell it's no replacement for running.
To top it off, I ran today. I felt no discomfort yesterday or this morning, so I went ahead and tried today. Well, about 1/4 of the way through, there it was. I said fuck it and decided to keep going. I hope I bounce back fast and doesn't hurt me the rest of the day.
Here's the thing: I know it was stupid. But I was afraid if I didn't run today, I might never run again. Last week was the first week I skipped running since I started on Nov. 11, and I know myself. Once I'm content with doing -- or in this case, not doing -- something, I'll continue that course of action basically forever.
So please, whatever higher power is listening, let my ass be back to normal as soon as possible.

Treadmills suck
It's been a week since I've updated, but I have a good excuse. SNOWMAGEDDON. SNOWKLAHOMA. SNOWPOCALYPSE. Or whatever "clever" term those good-for-nothing weathermen are calling it these days.
It has, for the most part, kept me from running outside. And that sucks. More than I imagined. I ran last Monday outside before the storm hit. And then it hit and dumped about 10 inches, so I couldn't run Wednesday, as the roads were bad and no local gyms were open. On Thursday, I plopped down $5 to run on a treadmill for 50 minutes. It was then I realized why I never had stuck with running before. Every other time I've started running, it was on a treadmill in a gym. It was pure torture. Awful. Boring. Tedious. If I were a weatherman, I might even say TREADMILLAGEDDON.
Nevertheless, I had to do it again on Saturday. It wasn't any better, even though a basketball game was on the TV they had there. I guess I could just tell I was going nowhere while I was doing it.
Monday, weather was better and the roads were only partially bad, so I decided to run outside. I had to quit 1.1 miles in, as my route was a slush-fest. Water above the ankles is not conducive to running, so I had to give that up. Which brings us to yesterday. As I posted at dailymile: "Sloppy, wet, windy, slushy and so what if I had to run the same stretch of road eight times? MUCH better than running in place on a treadmill. I needed this today!"
But of course we're now in the midst of 8 inches of snow, so it looks like the treadmill again tomorrow. BLARGH.

So how am I supposed to run in this?
Yeah, so we had almost a foot of snow here yesterday, meaning today will be my first missed run since I started Nov. 11. Pretty frustrating. I have to leave for work earlier as well, so I don't have time to work out before work, so I'll be doing some exercise bike when I get home, but I have no idea how much I will need to do. I could try to go Thursday/Saturday, but I hate to miss a day working out. I'll probably end up doing the bike and then if it's OK tomorrow, running tomorrow and Saturday.

Something's fishy
I added salmon to my diet this past week. First off, let me tell you, I cannot stand fish or seafood. I want to like it, because apparently I'm missing a mouth orgasm, judging by everyone else who eats it. But it all tastes just plain fishy to me.
The only fish I actually like to eat are freshwater fish caught and prepared that day. Doesn't matter if it's baked, grilled or deep fried, I like it any way. Crappie, catfish, bluegill, trout, bass -- if it was caught and prepared that day, there is no fish taste to it, in my experiences. But, if it's not, I can't stand it, it makes me gag. There's a lot of catfish places around here, and their fish sucks. I have ordered trout at Red Lobster before, and it tasted god awfully fishy.
Anyway, a coworker suggested salmon from Walmart. I figured I may as well try it, and if I didn't like it, I'd just give it to him. It was only $5, so no big loss if I didn't like it.
Turns out, it's tolerable. Just an ever-so-slight fish taste (some bites I nearly gag, but most are actually good). Super easy to prepare as well. I just throw it on the George Foreman grill and slightly salt and pepper it, and it's good to go in about five minutes.
So I may have a nice little regular week of meals planned out. I generally cook dinner on Sunday and have enough leftovers for dinner on Monday and Tuesday. I can eat fish on Wednesday and Thursday (there are four fillets in each package, so it comes out to $1.25 per fillet!) and Fridays, my weigh-in days, I always eat at Subway.
Speaking of weigh-in days, I weighed Friday and lost six more pounds. That's 43 total so far. 85 pounds from my goal, i.e., one-third of the way there. Here's to another great week!

Weekend pigout
Good news: I finished the c25k program with a great run Friday.
Bad news: I still am not running an entire 5k. I'm up to 30 minutes running, so I will keep adding three minutes at a time until I get to three miles. Starting tomorrow, I will run 33 minutes.
Even worse news: I ate like a pig this weekend. Family went out to eat yesterday at a mexican restaurant. I pigged out on chips. I ate about 30 probably. And then I got chili verde, with beef instead of pork. It was a big sized plate and also came with rice and refried beans. I didn't eat it all at lunch; I saved about 1/4 of it and ate it for dinner. And then today, I had an enormous sweet tooth. I ate a chocolate yogurt, hoping it would subside, but it didn't. I ate a soft serve vanilla ice cream later and I just had 32 ounces of skim chocolate milk.
I hope I'm not subconsciously getting content with my progress, which is 39 pounds now. I still can't tell a difference, and my clothes still are tight. But people keep saying they can tell, so I hope it hasn't nestled its way into my brain thinking I can slack off now.
Here's my last five days worth of food diaries. Falling behind on it yet again.
