Cleanse Day 2 & the Tortilla chips

Today has gone OK. I am cranky and want my greasy food. When ever I start dieting a trip to Dick's (a local burger place) is always one of the first places I go when I think I deserve a treat.  I love my greasy cheese burger and fries.  I just wish there was a way to make that healthy. LOL!! It is my ultimate comfort food. Tonight in hopes to curb my desire to eat said greasy food I picked one of my favorite diet meals Taco Salad! So full of flavor and delicious.  Normally I put crushed up tortilla chips in my salad but that is a no no for the cleanse.  So I decided I just won't buy any chips DH will not have chips either.  So I am walking around the grocery store and just about check out and a lady working at the grocery store comes up and gives me a free bag of tortilla chips. We are talking a full size bag of yummy delicious tortilla chips, are you freaking kidding me????  They had coupons that were good for the face value of the chips so they were giving them away and the coupon was with the cashier. But I am proud to say that I stood strong and didn't sprinkle the deliciousness on my salad.

Today also marked the second use of my new shoes and I found myself in pain yet again!!! So it thought screw this I need to run. So I put on my old shoes and got back on the treadmill. WTHeck same thing!!!  I was confused until I thought, could it be my new socks? I got new running socks from REI and they have major padding on the heel and from the ball of the foot forward. So put on different socks and put on my new shoes and problem solved. Yet I was already in pain from before so I just go a mile in.  I have two off days of running.  I am going to attempt to try again tomorrow. I have been finding myself in my head to much. Thinking about my muscles hurting to much cause that makes you want to stop running.   So I need to get out of my head.  And why must the first 10-15 mins of running suck so much?? I think this must be a universal thing in running. I can't seem to find a groove until after my legs have been moving for a while. I've always been anti-warmup before events. At the Run A Muk, there were people running before the run.  I was like they are stupid and crazy. Why would you run before the run?? I mean why add more miles?  I am so concerned with completing the miles for the event already I couldn't imagine running more miles before.  But the more I run the more I am finding the first 10 mins is always: I'm dying, I need to stop, this is stupid, why am I doing this?? After that the grove is found. Maybe that is why running outside can be so much better than the treadmill because you always have to come back home. You can't just press stop on get off. Where 10 mins in you are 10 mins from home. I think I need to find another 2 mile route since my last one I found was so hilly.
