I don't even want to discuss what happened last night. I drank water and more water until around 7 and then I made myself some chicken soup broth with vegetables (70cal) to help tide me over for the evening. Then I ate a cracker with the soup. Bad idea. Carbs are a major binge inhibitor. I musn't eat carbs. As a result of that one dirty cracker I wound up stuffing my face with a piece of bread and peanut butter at the awful hour of 9:30. I swear I'm never going to loose weight... my moral is far too weak.

I declare Thursday to be Thinspo Thursday! I have been thinking about this for a while too. It all started with America's Next Top Model... which of course is on today. I have always loved that show obsessively. So I think I want to expand on this idea and push it out further than just watching skinny girls on my TV. So for all you who follow me I will make Thursdays on my blog a little more fun than usual! This should help keep me motivated and thinking skinny thoughts as well! Let's start with a recipe

Orange Baked Apple (70cal)

1 small apple, cored
1 tbsp Smucker's Orange Marmalade with Splenda
A pinch of ground cinnamon
A pinch of ground nutmeg

Place apple in a shallow un-greased baking pan; add a small amount of water to pan. Fill center of apple with marmalade; sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes until apple is tender. Great for a warm breakfast on a cold fall day! Remember to eat your fruit in the morning on an empty stomach! This will help with the detox process and help in weight loss.

Tips to Running the Right Way
 
1. Align your head and neck properly. Focus on the horizon, moving your head back and forth occasionally to keep your neck from getting stiff. Avoid staring at your feet or at the ground.

2. Keep your shoulders relaxed, level and low as you run. If you feel tension in your shoulders, or if you've been raising and tensing them, drop them and shake your arms out to relieve the tension.


3. Move your arms from front to back, not across your chest. Don't clench your hands. Occasionally relax your arms, which should be bent at the elbows.

4. Stand tall as you run, keeping your core engaged and maintaining good posture in your back. Avoid slouching or allowing yourself to weaken in the torso.

5. Strike the pavement between your heel and the middle of your foot first, rather than with your toes or heels. Roll forward onto your toes, and push off with effort. Keep your stride steady. Don't bounce as you run.
