Once Does Not a Habit Make

Today was a first. I woke up, as per my alarm, at 4:55am. I walked to my desk, shut off the alarm clock, and went straight back to bed. I did not go running with the group today. Today is the first time that I have done so due to the previous' nights activities. I've even managed to drag my ass out of bed after 4 hours of sleep and go for 15 miles after one Friday night. This morning was just too difficult. Not only was I just exhausted, but I also wore high-heeled boots for 15 hours yesterday. Ladies, you understand how my feet felt this morning. I'll just go to the gym later and do my long run tomorrow, which is a great way to start the New Year.

I woke up for good 2 hours later.

By the way, my mother and I are going on the South Beach Diet. Today is Day 1. I have weighed myself (I refuse to publicize the amount just yet) and will not do so again until next Saturday. I went to the grocery store and spent way too much on healthy food (I understand why so many economically-challenged individuals are overweight). For the next two weeks, my body will be given nothing but vegetables, cheese, nuts and meat. By the end of next week, I will be craving fruit like a crack addict craves crack. But for now, so far so good. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress.

Boy do I wish I'd gone back to bed after my alarm went off this morning. My run was total CRAP! My legs were like lead & I had practically zero energy. Blech.
