Derailed

The weekend wasn't so great, food wise. On Friday night, Jason and I went out to dinner at some random little bar that is near my apartment, sort of, but I'd never been in. It was weird, like stepping into a small town. It was very family oriented and sort of country. Anyway, I ordered a veggie pita with steamed veggies. It was okay. The description of the pita said it came with some sort of dressing and I asked for it without it. The waitress informed me that it was already mixed together and asked if I'd like to try it. It just seemed like an oil and vinegar type dressing, so I got it.

We left after the meal and went home and watched a movie. Yeah, I've become boring.

Saturday is where the diet derailment began. I had a 7 mile run scheduled. I was going to do it while Jason was sleeping but I just wasn't in the mood. So, I waited until about 2. It started out badly. I felt super sluggish. I almost talked myself into not running the full distance many times. But I knew that if I didn't get it over with, it'd just be there the next day and I'd be mad at myself. So I finished it. I walked up some hills but mostly I ran. I got into a zone at about Mile 4. That's been happening lately. I used to start to feel that way at Mile 3, but for some reason now it doesn't happen until 4. When I came back from the run, I had to get ready quickly because one of my friends and I had tickets to go to this Oyster Festival and she was coming to pick me up at 3:45. I hadn't eaten lunch yet and wasn't really hungry but decided, for some reason, that what I needed was a bunch of fat free ice cream. I probably ate at least 3 servings. We got to the Oysterfest and it was horribly crowded. Like push your way through the crowds, stand in line for 20 minutes to get a drink crowded. So we left and went out to dinner in the Highlands.

All was fine until the pitchers of Stella started coming and my willpower just went out the door. We went to a different bar and met up with some other people and one of my friends ordered chips and salsa which I ate a bunch of. Then Jason came to meet us out and he ordered hummus which I also ate. I had already had hummus for dinner!

All in all, it wasn't terrible, I suppose. On a good note, I just realized that Map My Run has a Follow Streets option. I think this is the best discovery I've made so far in 2008.
