Thanks so much for the comments! 

Explanation of my Food Goal: my issue with cereal, muffins, sweets is that I have enormous trouble stopping when I am full. The issue is is that I do not really enjoy these foods, but I tend to binge eat these foods. Obviously this is a very unhealthy habit which I am trying to stop for my lifelong health. I hate feeling too full almost sick, and also the emotional feelings of guilt and unhappiness. Also, I do't enjoy the taste of these foods, so why eat them? My goal is to take it a meal at a time right now and successfully not overeat for a week. I am not trying to lose weight, but become a much healthier and happier person. I have been trying and its been difficult, but having a blog will hopefully make a difference. Hope you had a great fourth everyone!

No binge today!!!! I feel much better all around. 

Workout today was supposed to be 1 mile warm up then 9 miles with 1-3 at 7:10 pace, 3-6 at 6:40 and 6-9 at 6:25. But due to the fact I have very little pacing ability my workout turned out like this:

  miles 1-6 in 39:00 total (which was about 6:30 min miles) so then I ran the next 3 in 23 which was about 7:30 min miles. Total run was about 62 minutes not including warmup or cool down.

Note: all distances are VERY approximate

I also had dance class today which was wonderful! I didnt have a chance to run the time trials today Sasha, but next time I am at a track I will.

AAAHHHH....AWFUL DAY! I binged after dinner on everything I said I was not going to eat!!! SO FRUSTRATING.. and now I am stuck dealing with all the feelings of regret and guilt and general naseousness after binging. I was up to 3 days without binging and this ruins it!!!!!!! But I guess I start again from tomorrow.. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS 

Rollerbladed about 18 miles... wanted to stay off running as I was sore from yesterdays workout and have two long runs coming up this weekend...

AAARRRRGHHH it would have been such a great day except for the after dinner binge.. any advice for helping deal with these binges? That would be much appreciated :)
