Lesson Learned

I did really well today with my eating and points keeping with Weight Watchers.  I did so well, in fact, that we got to eat Cafe Rio for dinner.  It was wonderful except that my stomach told me it wasn't the best thing to eat after eating so lightly today.  One word--heartburn.  But that soon passed and after putting the kids in bed about an hour later I headed to the gym to try to squeeze in a couple of miles.

Lesson:  Eating a heavy meal and running aren't a very good combination.  I already knew this but I couldn't go to bed tonight without a heavy conscious if I didn't make it a priority to run.  Saturdays are the one day I can get out and go running without taking the kids along (unless I wake up at 6am every morning...right).  So after about three miles of (excuse me, please) burping up my creamy tomatillo salad dressing, the burning lungs passed and I hit my second wind.

I was able to get in five miles--three hard, two good.  Next time I think I'll run in the morning.
