Day 60: Worms In the Cereal

Enjoyed a wonderful 3 mile run at Memorial Park this evening! Cool breezes...love it! I'm starting to sprint now to increase my time. Plan to start increasing my run/walks to at least 4-5 miles for a while.

Today makes 2 months of my blog. I'm reflecting back on the past 60 days. Only 10 more months until I'm supposed to be a "changed" person. I better step it up!

Went to Costco today and bought out of the ordinary items.
Pears
Blueberries
CEREAL

I'm growing tired of corn tortillas and boilded eggs so I bought cereal. It is EXTREMELY rare that I eat cereal. At one point I refused to eat it for 6 years. After that I attemped to eat it once or twice.

The CEREAL STORY: 10 years ago I was at a teacher workshop that involved using live meal worms.
I adore science, but am a bit squeemish when it comes to ugly worms that turn into large black beetles.
My worm disappeard only to be found in my purse later! I was disgusted!
I learned that meal worms are common place in the vats that store our grain. Grain is in cereal. After dealing with the worms and knowing we are eating tiny pieces of ground up worms in our cereals I was horrified. Just couldn't get over it. In fact, now that I am reliving the scenario, I'm having second thoughts of eating my new cereal tomorrow morning. I'll give it a shot though.

I'll attempt this cereal
tomorrow. It is supposed
to have lots of protein and
fiber. Hopefully no worms!

Breakfast: Running very late...one boiled egg, sip of green tea
Snack: At another campus meeting today...2 bite size muffins, lots of water

Day 58: Good Soup on a Chilly Day

 

Dinner. Tastes better than it looks!

                                                       

 Hearty Soup: lentils, quinoa, spinach leaves, green beans, corn, chicken. Spices: oregeno, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, lots of cumin.

Once I put the cumin in, Vince didn't like it so use it sparingly. I love it.

Starbucks hot chocolate

Wow! What a mix of foods and lots of extra calories.
No exercise today, but walked fast at work and walked fast in the mall while Christmas shopping.
Got to get to the gym soon!! Feeling heavy.

Had a major Ritz feast just now! Guess soup wasn't enough for dinner. Did I really need the butter on the crackers though?! I bought the crackers for teachers and look what happened. I've noticed that when I don't work out, I eat worse. Ugh.

My little Sis and her tortuous bootcamp!
Details later today! 

My sister, the real 20 something mile marathon runner, has her own backyard bootcamp. I woke up to sounds of bootcamp preparations. We did buttkicks, high knee lifts while running, crawled like a bear in the wet grass, jogged, 210 jumping jacks, weights, things I didn't know I could do with my abs and much more. Whew! Tired, but it was such a great visit. Then I ate more of her pumpkin spice cupcakes!
