Walk in the Cold

Took myself around the neighborhood behind the mall where my girl was getting her hair died bright red. It was sunny but quite cold. I ended up at REI where I was looking for fingerless gloves inside mittens. Didn't find that, but got a peachy pair of fingerless mittens- basically wrist warmers with thumb holes. Twenty percent off, too!

Ended up at a chi-chi grocery store (Fresh Market) where I picked up an ingredient for dinner and got an antipasti lunch-olives stuffed with cheese, garlic, sundried tomatoes, marinated mushrooms, and small blobs of marinated fresh mozzarella. Yum! Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours stranded on Rockville Pike.

Too Much

I had a relatively big dinner from the hot food bar at Whole Foods. It would have been better to go portion-controlled frozen dinner, though I loaded up on cauliflower and cabbage versus meat. I probably still underestimated how much butter and oil they use in preparation.

I had my mind set on ice cream as this evening's treat. It really was too much. Good, but too much. I don't think I can afford that much sugar. Even though I didn't want it that badly, I was set I was going to have it. Period.

At least it was very good.

Kids cooking!

What a treat to come home and find my boy was making chicken baked with sauce in the oven, and my girl made red velvet cup cakes. It was such a treat to eat dinner not cooked by me, and a good one, too.

Sore and Stiff

Feeling not so good at the gym. Long muscles of my back sore, and both knees twingeing. Knees would be from the run, but not sure about the muscles.

Beautiful walk today

The weather was lively ands the first time I left the building all week. I walked over a mile to my meeting point, then biked back. I haven't been using my bikeshare much but I needed to be quicker. It was actually way more convenient than metro. But it was through busy streets, and I'm not very comfortable in traffic.

Walking at Downton Abbey

Well, walking on the treadmill in my basement while watching the season opener last night. I only got my mile in, but it was 2 hours long and I stayed up too late watching the whole thing.

At the Table

I really can't remember to sit at the table to eat. So simple! So not part of my daily life! I just had breakfast while driving. Planned it that way, and didn't even occur to me to plan something different. Only as I was logging it as a meal did I remember. Yikes!

Need to think of reminders, and the logging app is probably the best way.
