Last night at work I was sugar hungry. I get that way sometimes. I just have a craving for unnessary amounts of sugar. So I purchased a bag of Starburst jelly beans on my Kwik Trip run. It seems harmless enough... I even shared them with a couple of co-workers and one of the officers who stopped in. (This really is a short story that I am making very long.) What I learned today is that jelly beans eaten between one and five in the morning do not make for a good run the following afternoon. You would think that the sugar would get me moving. I am here to tell you it does not. My three mile run felt like I had a full case of jelly beans strapped to my butt. It was not a great feeling...and I am quite positive it was not a pretty site. Anyway, I survived a short run, lived to tell about it, and I was shocked but proud to admit that when I got to work today there were still jelly beans in my locker. I had actually forgotten about them. Hmmm.... sugar sounds good about now... and so the cycle begins again.
those jelly beans are my nemesis. I love them, but they are personally to blame for lack of weight loss in my week after Easter. I've been trying to lose weight recently, and it's a bit of a struggle. I'm trying to get back into running, as I slipped a bit after the recent 5k.
