[Mum Runner] Saturday Night Fun!
I really wanted to accomplish my 6mile weekly goal, and since I had
such a short run on Monday due to the heat, I was shy about 0.5 mile.
Now, I wasn't gonna get all sweaty and have to shower for such a short
distance, so I ended up doing my longest run yet. Some Saturday night
fun, huh? I guess that's what happens when you're an old mom. LOL! I'm
treating myself to a mojito as soon as I shower, though. So, it's all
good.Here are my stats for tonight:My eating pretty much sucked today.
I'm not sure why. I had a late breakfast, and then I had nothing
healthy in the house for lunch, so I ate a Bagelful - totally wasn't
satisfying because I was so hungry. I did have a healthy supper of lean
steak, grilled veggies and a little rice. My jello is brewing and
should be just about ready for me for my before-bed snack. That's
totally a bad habit, but I've switched to sf/ff jello or a 100 cal
Kettle Corn. Much better than what I used to have.Actually, since I've
been running this past month, most things are much better than they
used to be. I still have the old family drama, which is not suitable
for my running posts, but I'm handling things differently, more calmly,
looking at the big picture and trying to not be angry about things that
I can't control. That's the best I can do, and running has been a great
stress relief for that. And the new clothes! I'm totally enjoying
shopping again. My wallet isn't enjoying it, but it's nice to finally
have some in-style clothes that fit and look somewhat decent on me. I
don't want to buy too much because I'm hoping my weight keeps dropping.
I've only lost 4 lbs so far, but my face is thinner, my old clothes are
looser, and even if people don't notice that I'm looking a bit thinner,
I feel like a completely different person. And runner's high aside,
that's really what gets me running.DH is in the garage installing his
Father's Day gift - a new air conditioner. For the garage. That's what
he wanted. I wanted Pyrex for Mother's Day, and that's what I got. Oh
well. He practically lives in there now that he bought his new table
saw. We won't even get into the cost of that (care to know - google
Powermatic), but he's hoping he goes on strike in August so that he has
ample time to use it. Pray for me - I work from home, and I like my
current, lonely schedule :)
