"God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me." - Unknown
A new quote I found that I really like for a lot of reasons. The only person I can change is me. It's time to stop wasting my time trying to change others and just focus on me.
I'm so happy that summer and the corresponding sunshine has decided to come to Washington. It freaking took long enough! Geesh.... Sometimes I really miss California weather. Growing up in paradise (aka Santa Barbara) spoiled me for life. Anyways.... the sun is back and so I get to learn how to run in warm weather. A shock so far compared to the freezing temps I trained for the Whidbey Half in. I think I prefer cold weather for running but warm for the rest of the time. But for now I will be grateful for the warm weather because I know it's short-lived.
I'm trying to get more into running in the sense of doing research and learning tips, finding and following training schedules for my upcoming races (Iron Girl 10K in September -Goal: 1:09:00, Cinco de Mayo Half Marathon- Goal: 2:40:00). I'm now in love with Runner's World magazine. I'm trying to throw myself into running more in hopes that somehow I will find the trick to eating better. I speak to a nutritionist once a month but I still can't seem to find the courage to actually do what I need to do to change my eating habits. That's where the whole lollipop thing comes in. If it's sugar, I want it. I'm honestly addicted to sugar. I want it all the time. And I can't eat fruit and get the same satisfaction. I like processed, refined, going to kill me early sugar. It's started to really bother me that I want it so much, but my being bothered is no match for my cravings. It's so hard doing something that you don't want to be doing but do it anyways. Well, I've got a lot to do to try to become to person I want to be, or at least the person I think I want to be.
Take care.
