Day 17 went really well. I got a good night's rest and I was full through lunch. After lunch though it was a different story. I was ravenous!!!!! It's because of the bread I ate. I knew I shouldn't have but I knew how hungry I was going to be later >.< Simple carbs make me crave simple carbs. So I decided to have coffee and milk with my snack.
I got home and go ready to run. And BOY DID I RUN. I achieved my goal of running a 5K in under 35 minutes!!!! I was so happy!!! I couldn't believe that I had that in me. But I do! I do have it! I can do this!
I went to sleep a happy camper that night. So much so that I overslept and woke up at 7:15 lol. My body needed it though I am sure.

Day 18 started off rushed obviously because I overslept. But I was good.
I spent the day researching new delicious, mainly vegetable and recipies and I don't think it was such a good idea because the rest of the day I felt like a bottomless pit. Like I couldn't be statisfied. It was awful. I also knew that today was my rest day of sorts so there would be no running to help me balance what I was eating. To be completely honest with you I didn't care that I overate because I was legitmately hungry. Like I drank a liter of water before I gave in an had all that extra snackage that would put me 500 calories over my calorie goal for the day. Also I know I'm going to be running today and tomorrow so honestly I was just like whatever. I should prepare more filling snacks in my home though just in case for when those feelings arise.
