I am the poster girl for self control
July 20th, 2008
My visiting father in law is in my kitchen right now making blueberry pancakes for DD9. I can smell the burning from my room, and just saw him trying to gauge my Le Cruset pan to death with a METAL spatula. Am I getting in a snit and going down and taking over the making of the pancakes? Why no, I am not. Whose a control freak? Not me, that’s who not. Breathe in… breathe out.
Vineyard dinner last night was a lot of fun. Guess what? I left delicious food on my plate because I was full. Natural portion control… I didn’t need the jenny craig box of food to tell me I had eaten enough. Progress! Here’s me in my natural sans-makeup glory… dear lord I cannot WAIT to be able to wear make up again. Oh, I drank some, but not too much, and remained entirely appropriate all evening. B O R I N G! No, really, it was fun.
Went for a nice run this morning. It was about 60 degrees out with the sun shining bright. It’s already starting to heat up now, but the early morning was lovely. Heading for church now, and then father in law is cooking dinner for about 13 people here at my house, so I need to do a little tidying. Maybe I’ll hide the good pots and pans while he’s in the shower.

Hey there! thanks for your comments!
my c25k running progress is going well. im starting week 5 this week!! the 5 min miles are do-able but sometimes tough, but im pretty scared of the week 5 8 minute mile run and then UH hello, how does week 5 sneak in a 20 minutes run??? that seems TERRIFYING! and also doesnt quite seem like a natural progression to me from 5 to 8 to 20!! but, im going along with the program so ill have to deal with it.
and yeah, at cheesecake factory, they are actually called “Weight management salads” which is hilarious because if that’s true than i think the rest of the food should be called weight destroying. but yeah, it was kind of awkward asking for that, but well worth it in the end.
on your front, your 50 minute runs are AMAZING, it so inspiring to know that you made it through c25k from the beginning and are no running 50 min! ahh I hope I can make it there!!
also, so glad to hear your lasik went well! i uber love reading your blog!
happy sunday,
