tuesday with chocolate cake
Couple of bad food days (PMSy...), but I can feel good stuff coming.
Today I decided to take the first 10 minutes of my lunch break and go for a walk. I normally just use those 10 minutes to pick at my food, so this put them to a better use. It's been way too hot here to do that up until this last month or so...now I can do it without being covered in sweat. Yay. Also, today I had no unplanned snack attacks. Just my breakfast, an apple and tea snack, a rather large (but planned) lunch, then a diet coke in the afternoon to keep me awake and dinner was a thank you to our Spanish teacher and I ate a bit too much, but I have decided that it was okay. And not tooooo bad (strawberry/banana smoothie with ice and sugary yogurt, chicken breast on 1 slice bread, big salad and a piece of chocolate cake shared between four people).
Also did a QUICK 3 miler running today. There's this one point where I time myself on my run. I looked on google earth and it might be between .85 and .9 of a mile, but it's an inexact measure. So, when it was hot and I was lazy my times on that section came out to 9:30 (or worse). When I'm feeling fine, but not pushing myself it's around 8:40. When I'm flying it's around 7:50. Today it was 7:22. That's cool for me. Oh, and man I can't wait 'til I get my Garmin 305 (hecka sale, but now I have to wait for it to get from the US to Bolivia and I sure ain't using the postal system!!!). It'll be fun to know how far I'm really going, and how fast!
Sleepy time now.
My house smells funny and I can't figure out why. Off topic, but there it is.
