Cranky

I think that I am cranky today. Not really cranky but just a little bit....maybe easily annoyed is a good way to describe it. Today Dudley and I had a personal training session and the traffic was so horrendous that it took me over an hour to go about 10 miles. I was late and annoyed. Luckily it worked out and I didn't miss too much. Ran another mile...not quite as fast as the other day but still a decent time. As I was running I was thinking that maybe I wanted to work on my mile time so that I could reliably get a good time and then once I got there maybe I would add miles and try to keep the same pace, but we will see. The traffic had me already cranky (the #1 thing I will not miss about Atlanta) and then we had to get weighed and do our body fat percentage at the gym. That certainly didn't help. I swear that I am just the type of person who has to really pay attention to everything I eat if I want to get the body fat down. I just hate being like that, I hate watching everything I eat and I know that it is not something I want to do the rest of my life. I have tried to pay attention to what it is that I do so wrong. I mean, I like to cook, don't eat tons of processed foods, and don't really snack (other than string cheese or some light popcorn or dried fruit) and I work out 4 times a week where I burn about 400 calories per session. Usually when I am in town I am pretty good but it still seems like I have to pay attention to everything if I actually want to lower the body fat. I also tried to figure out if I am one of those emotional eaters....you know how they always talk about that, but I don't think that I really am. I mean sometimes when I am upset I don't eat anything and sometimes I do....there doesn't seem to be a pattern or anything that is not normal. I do eat sometimes when I am not hungry. It is mainly at night. I use the excuse that if I don't eat something then I will be starving by the morning. I guess that isn't really an excuse but more of a reality. Maybe I just need to find something different or less to eat. I also tend to eat all my food when sometimes I am full before it is all gone. Other than those two things, I can't really figure out what I do wrong. Not that I think that I am fat or anything but I do have a really high body fat percentage that I would like to lower. If anyone has an realistic ideas, let me know. I am not into doing any sort of weird no carbs, no sugar, only eat green foods sort of diets. I think that maybe I will really make an effort not to eat processed stuff (sometimes I have lean cuisines for lunch) and try to eat more veggies and stuff. I know that will be hard when I start traveling again but maybe I can form some good habits now. I might not be traveling again for a little while anyway.

I am glad that tomorrow is Friday! I don't have too much going on this weekend....helping shoot a wedding on Saturday during the day and then doing Thanksgiving with my sisters, hubbies and my Dad on Sunday. I also think that I earned good points last time I got Ariyana so I *think* that I scheduled another date with her in December. My sister said she didnt think that they had anything that day so hopefully I will get her and for longer this time!!!
