well i ran a 5k, thank god for that

All going well so far.

Had a boring day, hung out at home, watched some Teen Wolf. Went for a run (5k). My eating was relatively good. Low in calories, but not great nutrition. From breakfast I had leftover chicken breast with sweet chilli sauce, then I took the jar of peanut butter to my room with a spoon. But I only had a little bit. I also had 8 chunks of hazelnut chocolate before 9:30am. 

Which doesn't sound good but that's only 200 calories and I was craving it last night, so it was worth it. 

Then I went on a run, so I wasn't hungry until after 12 (lunch). I had just fruit salad so I saved 300 calories there, just by not having my normal type lunch. I was satisfied with it, though I forgot to slice up a banana for it. We have these cute little ones right now but I just forgot. I guess it wasn't that big a meal though so I then had yogurt. It was new and in the fridge.

Confession: The last two weeks, I've binged badly on yogurt as soon as mum buys it on Saturday. I have literally eaten almost the entire family container in a day. So today... I didn't. I had about half, which is a lot, but it's not irredeemable, especially after a run. And since I had vegetable soup for dinner (with buttered bread because I wanted it), I had a really low cal dinner as well. I was under my limit for the day, which is the first time since I started on Thursday. I'm not too worried about whether I stay under or not, just on whether I'm still in calorie deficit and whether I'm being healthy.

I need to fix my sleeping habits. I'm not depressed or suchlike, but I live in my bed, and I like to sleep. I don't know why I'm napping for such extended periods or having such fucked up dreams, even if I enjoy them. At least I'm tired again now, which is only positive because I know I should be tired now, not because I think I need more sleep.

Only 1 more day until challenge starts. Only one more day til I have to weigh in. But I'm looking forward to starting. I mean, officially, because I already am basically doing the challenge. Part of me is like '....what's the point if it doesn't even count yet?' but then I give in the 'are you fucking kidding me?' look, because obviously, the competition is just a method of getting healthy and losing weight, so obviously, what I'm doing now is important. I'm doing the competition to lose weight, not losing weight to win the competition.

Right now though, the no food after 9pm rule is pissing me off. I'm glad it's there because otherwise I'd be getting into the yogurt/chocolate right now but I still want to grumble.
