Getting the hang of this

So I getting the hang of this weight watchers thing.  I am beginning to understand counting points...substitutions...veggies, fruits, etc.  I have found some recipes from the site that I really REALLY love....that give me the goodness that I crave, but are within my point allocations.  I understand what I can eat at snack time (oatmeal----great snack, it warms me up, fills me up and is only 3 points).  I have continued not to use the weekly allocation of 49 points, but instead try to only use the points I earn working out.

I weighed in today at 139.6....so we are moving in the right direction.
I am signed up for the Hot Chocolate 15 K next weekend and about 2 weeks ago I did the math and realized how far 15K was....its almost 10 miles...so I decided I needed to start training.  I did a couple short runs at the gym...but I HATE running on the treadmill.  I really have to be in the right frame of mind and just haven't been lately.  But last weekend was beautiful, so I got to have one more run on the lakepath.  I did about 8 miles and was really proud of myself.  I did a great job.  The next day, there was a 5K that hadn't closed yet, so I went ahead and signed up for that.  I finished with a personal best time of 30:15.. that's not good for many people, but really good for me.  I felt really great after that run.

I am having a really hard time working out after work.  #1- I am STARVING.  I get up at 5:30am, leave my house at 6:10, work all day, drive home, get back home at 6:30....I just want to eat, and go to bed:(  I have to figure out a way to at least get 1 or 2 workouts in during the week.  The weekends are great.  I can get a good long run in and be happy, but I really need to work on this workout during the week thing.

So, to recap-
eating going well....(if anyone wants any recipes, let me know!)
working out- going well on the weekends
life- its getting busy...and like it or not, here come the holidays....
