yawn. sigh. yawn. sigh.

Not much exciting going on here. I think I am just sort of hanging in there waiting to see what mom’s prognosis ends up being tomorrow.

My weight was 147.4 this morning. I remember this weight. I just can’t remember when it was. Maybe a senior in college. But I clearly remember this weight as though I weighed this amount for a long time. My mom made my wedding dress, so while she is here I am going to crawl up in the attic and get it out and try it on. Should be interesting to see.  

My run was really good today. I ran four miles and loved pretty much all of it. Days like this make me feel like a real runner. So anyway, four miles…tends to be my favorite number these days. I often comtemplate five miles, but it doesn’t take much to talk myself out of it. Today, the reason excuse was that my mom was at my house with my youngest son and I worry about leaving her too long due to her health. So anyway, there was NOBODY up there. What up with that? Bunch of slackers. I like it when I am on my own up there, but then again it feels a bit lonely. I am looking forward to my group run on Saturday.

Breakfast and lunch were the norm. Fruit is getting pretty sad these days. First I tried grapes and realized that globe grapes have like 3-4 seeds PER GRAPE. Uhh. No. So I put those back for someone else to deal with and got myself a mango. Yeah. Equally as disappointing. Put that in the garbage because sure it is bad to waste food, but it is really bad to waste calories on something not good. So finally I opened the bag of frozen strawberries that I just got at Sam’s. Looks like that will be a good fruit go-to for the winter. Dinner will be grilled turkey. I got one of those turkey things that looks like pork tenderloin. It has some sort of mustard marinade. Probably have some cauliflower with it and maybe some tomato dumplings. I am still all about simple meals this week. Just too much other stuff to worry about right now.

Ooooh… those turkey things are SO good!! They were on sale a few weeks ago and got one. I don’t remember what flavor we had (it may have been the mustard one) It was really really good.

I said almost exactly that same sentence a few days ago! It’s so cool when you get to the point where you evaluate your food intake by the “is it worth it?” method! =D
