I have had a runny nose, sore throat and have just felt blah since Weds.  I have kept up with my workouts, but really I just want to lay around and whine… LOL.  School starts tomorrow so I hope that I can adjust to my new routine with out too much trouble. 

I think it may be time for some new running shoes.  My shoes just gave me the biggest blister on the instep of my foot… wow, do those hurt!  I had zero motivation yesterday.  I felt like doing nothing at all, so I sat on the couch and watched TV all day long.  I also ate like crap.  I don’t know why sometimes I get to that point, but it makes me mad.  I think it is cause I have pushed hard to keep going, and I just need a mental day, but I also tell myself that I dont have time for that kind of crap and so I get mad at myself.  Any whoo, I am back on track today…

So this contest prep, I am eating way more carbs than I ever have.  At first I was really, really scared because I had to take all my carbs out in the past to get lean enough… or so I thought!  Every morning I am waking up and seeing changes in my body all over!  It is exciting and I even feel great through out my cardio sessions!  I know that some think that to get lean, one needs to omit carbs, heck even I thought that… but I now know that carbs are very essential to keeping my metabolism up and giving me energy!  It is just what kind of carb, and when!
