Debra: Sugar calls me too, usually in the form of bread! It's a hard one.....if I can hold out several days in a row, it seems to get easier.....but now, since I am not low carbing it's really hard! My carb intake is less than most people, but it's hard to get a balance and not over-do. This is one reason I saw the nutritionist....I am trying to focus on fueling! 
If I change my mind-set, and view food more with "what can this do for me?" mentality maybe it will get easier. I have such an addiction to bad food. I can be 'good' for awhile, but it always calls me back!
With my marathon a focus now, and the fact that I DON'T want to gain weight.....it's a little easier for me to say 'no' to bad food. Maybe this is the time to change my habits for good!
Great job on the 2 pound loss.....and to think it's 40% of your short term goal is awesome! A very motivating way to look at it! It's not just 2 pounds....it's almost 1/2 way there!

AFM: Well, I got on my TM this morning for intervals......ugh...... Intervals are hard for me anyway, but 5AM?
They got done though. I usually do the training program Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and then fill in the rest of the week with extra miles and strength training.....so it's Tuesday! I got them done (which I am happy about) but I am really feeling tired today. I did 5 miles yesterday, 45 min of stretch class, and an hour of Pilates......it was a struggle toward the end, I'll tell ya!
I am finding out that I am hungry in the evening for the last several days.....I don't think I am eating enough during the day. I will try to change that up today.

*** Vicky: WTG on the LR. I did 12 miles last week, and it felt like a death march.....glad to see you had a good 10 miler!
