Have a little help from my friends.

Happy Cinco de Mayo-Eve Everyone!
For those that celebrate the Mexican Independance day, don't eat the worm.
Ran with the ladies on Tuesday morning, as you might have read on T'knesha's blog. Yes, she's alive and well. We have a new addition too. She seems real nice. Susan is taking the hills like you wouldn't believe, now. I remember when she would only hear the beeps for the walk breaks but she pushed me to run when it was time. She says she's not intense, but she can be when she wants to, huh Susan?
Unlike the three running buddies, I am a virgin to the marathon. So I can only listen to the war stories until I have experienced my own.

Hey Matt, you know what is worse than All-you-can-eat buffets? Potluck luncheons at work! Luckily everyone did not bring food or we would have had to roll everyone to and fro and grease the doorways. But I was good. My plate showed much white between the food portions, but I did taste a chunk of chocolate chip cookie - I took one for the team, okay?
Before, I would have just taken a handful of the apple pie and creme cake and simply rubbed them on each butt cheek and thigh since that was where they were going anyway. If only they could make gum taste like donuts, lasagna and cinnamon rolls, cravings wouldn't be a problem. That's all they are, cravings for the taste. Not the bloated, gaseous effect they give you afterward. And why is it always the worst when you're with company or in a public place. There are times I have puckered so hard not to reveal my indiscretions that I involuntarily paused midsentence. No, we crave not for the guilty feelings that set in once the clouded aftermath of our plate evaporates. If I want guilt, I won't call my Dad for a week.
We should come up with a Support Group. Call it Food For Thought. You can think about it, but you can't do without it. It's not like alchoholism where they get you hooked on cigarettes to avoid drinking. We can't give up food and become hooked on protein bars or Ensure. You have to eat. So why don't we share what we know about food. Healthy foods and recipes. Start logging what you ate whether you felt good that day or not. Two Saturdays ago I felt sluggish and didn't finish the 7 miles. I had coffee the day before, a natural diuretic. This past Saturday I made sure I didn't have coffee the day before and ate stirfry veggies and brown rice and drank a lot of water the day before. Saturday, I had tons of energy.
So Whatta ya say? Lets help each other out. I know I couldn't do this alone.
