Forgive me Livejournal, for I have sinned. It's been 30 days since my last confession... So what I've been trying to do lately is what I like to think of as the "Try to be good, and exercise like a madman" diet. It's worked well for me in the past for maintaining my weight, but obviously not so much this time. I actually have tried to get back on the diet, but it's been hard lately. I'm toying with the idea of going without booze for a week or two and seeing how that works for me. I usually have the points left for plenty of wine, the problem is that once I have the wine I have less willpower to be good on the diet in other ways.

As I've been posting, the running is going very well indeed. I entered my training regime into my scheduler and it seems a bit wussy. Like I said, I'm going to consider those seriously minimums until we start getting into the 5-6 mile range. Of course my legs have also been complaining as well, but additional stretching has been helping there and once I get going they're fine. I'm also going to take additional ibuprofen and try to rub them out more to help with that. We'll see how it goes.

I miss wine, but on the flip side, doing the no sweets/no booze thing is totally paying off, even after only a week's observation. My energy level is way up. After about a week, I'm in the "doing great so far, why break a winning streak?" zone. I hope I can keep it up for three months.

Well, as long as you plan on making your guests plenty of fruity drinks and good food, this sounds like a fine plan.

Wait, I was planning on you making the margaritas... Damn, this plan will need some fine tuning.

I suppose I could do that. But you ARE making sangria for the party again, right? RIGHT?!
