snacking

i realized i've been snacking a lot lately. and when i say a lot, i mean a non-stop, constant munching that's almost involuntary and done completely unbeknown to my consciousness until i literally feel the tight squeezing of my pants around my belly. and when i say lately, i mean since may of 2008 (which shall forever and infamously be known as the beginning of my demise).

anyways, i've never really been a snacker. never liked potato chips (including the likes of doritos and cheetos), never liked candies, never really chewed gum. exceptions were ice cream and chocolates. i only started snacking in college. but it was one of those healthy snacking, i.e. protein shake, fresh fruits, raw vegetables, etc. during my time of total meathead domination.

post-college, i've stopped working out as studiously, however my snacking habits carried over. all through lawschool, and beginning of my career, i'd munch on snacks in between meals. but these snacks slowly evolved to a lesser healthy variety, until by may 2008 i was beginning to munch of the likes of choco pies, gummy bears, donuts etc, stuff that i'd never touch in college.

anyways, i'm trying to cut back on the snacks. actually, i'm going to replace these junky snacks with healthier snacks like fresh fruits and vegetables and raw almonds.

here's what i had for my post-breakfast/pre-lunch snack today - THE CULPRIT:
some sweet danish and scone from panera bread. i washed them all down with some dabang coffee (those pre-mixed coffee pouches that have ton of sugar and cream in them).

THE DAMAGE: oh, i don't know, 2 years of nonstop snacking? unmentionable amount of bad calories?

PRESCRIPTION: 10k outer loop run at the rose bowl with jason!

SUCCESS? will update later!

*UPDATE* SUCCESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! it was a marvelous run! thank you jason! thank you eun kyung! thank you God! T.T

let's see if i can keep this up!
