Dang you Food...and Beer!

My arch nemesis is undoubtably food and some beer. I have a weakness for sweets and every once in a while I dip into the alcohol pool. I really don't see anything wrong with these - unless you're training for another marathon.

I am into my training routine but with bowls of candies and friends urging me to partake in just one drink life seems to be getting more difficult.

I have been able to abstain for the most part. I have cut out sweets almost entirely and have restricted my drinking to red wine only.

These two vices have loosened their grip, but with friends like mine there is no telling what may happen. I hope one day they will just let it go and just assume that I am always in some type of training routine. This would help say no much easier.

I've really put my foot down this time. I am not out to lose a bunch of weight. I just want to be the healthiest I can be. One day there won't be times in my life where I can just shed pounds by running 10 or 12 miles. It will become burdensome to lose a single pound.

My knee is getting better. I have to make myself ride the bike, but in the end I feel better because cycling is a great way to help knees recover. I will keep both of you posted on the progress. I am going to attempt to update at least once a week. Till then wheres the cupcakes?
