I guess I run now

No word on the campus lock down or if they caught the person making the threats. Thanks for the encouragement SoClose!

We go back tomorrow. I’m holding open lab hours, so it’ll be interesting to see if any of my students show up…it’s optional work time, so many might choose to stay away.

After my run this morning I hit Trader Joe’s. I needed only four things: frozen spinach, raw pecans, bleu cheese, and pretzels. So I got the first 3, plus a bag of frozen roasted corn (this is one I like having on hand) and some amazing bread and butter pickels. Here’s the deal…I’m not a pickle person…I’ll eat one on a burger or if it’s next to a burger, but I don’t seek out the pickle. For some reason, though, these pickles beckoned, sang to me, and, ultimately, felt dern good in my basket. & they taste amazing, my new favorite food!

What with yesterday afternoon’s pig out that I topped off with dinner of Lean Cuisine pizza and salad, and no exercise and (oh, did I mention the) beer, I figured I’d have gained this morning. Stepped on the scale to see how bad it was…I just had to know…& I actually dropped 1.5 pounds from the day before.

So maybe I wasn’t fueling my body enough last week & that’s why I didn’t lose? Or maybe I just weighed myself on an empty bladder this morning? Or the moon was in Capricorn? Who the hell knows?! So this was both good news and a reminder of why it really is for the best if I weigh myself only once a week. I couldn’t take such wild fluctuations every day!
