When J.J. and I got up today (after I had my normal yogurt and banana) we rode over to the school on our bikes and he started on his running drills and I rode around the track four times for a mile. After I got done riding I walked a mile around the track. I was hoping to do a little running mixed with my walking, like run on the curved parts, walk on the straight parts, but it didn’t work out so well. I ran on one curved part and held my side in pain as I walked it out. I felt so like I was going to vomit. Ick.
We took the pups to the dog park today. We waited until it was cool. There is a trail around the dog park which I was planning to walk around while the dogs played. We have two young Jack Russell Terriers though, and they never do what you want them to. We walked one lap around and the dogs mostly followed us and didn’t try to rile up too many other dogs. Then, before we could even start on the second lap, out male started barking at this much larger dog and just went nuts. We had to put him on his leash and eventually leave because he was just acting like a little brat. It was so annoying. I think the dog park is fun I just wish they were a little more well behaved. I feel like Princess Sophia and Mr. Cash need to meet with a pet psychic so I can figure out what the crap is going through their heads.
I made a really good pizza for dinner. I had a small Boboli pizza crust which I had bought a couple weeks ago. I checked the points on them in the store. A serving size is half a shell. I got the wheat pizza crusts and they are 3 points for half a shell. I still had 16 points left towards dinner time so I thought I could have a full one. I measured out my shredded WW mozzarella cheese which is 2 points for 1/3 of a cup. I used 1/4 a cup of the pizza sauce I bought which is a serving and is 0 points :), two servings of the WW mozzarella for 4 points, and then the crust for 6 points all together. A 10 point dinner which I think is reasonable. It was very yummy.
So I was having trouble getting all my milk in. I was thinking I had to actually drink 3 servings of milk, no just 3 servings of milk products. I looked it up on the food pyramid site and it turns out that 1/3 a cup of shredded cheese is actually a serving of milk, also my 6 oz yoplait yogurts are considered 3/4 a cup of milk which is the serving size. This makes me feel much better about my servings that I need to get in everyday. The vitamins on the other hand are a problem. What I do is fill my mouth with a sip of water because I don’t want to taste the pill, I then drop the pill into mouthful of water and try to quickly swallow. Last night this turned into me coughing and vomiting up the water in my hand. Tonight I tried it the way J.J. suggested, dealing with the taste and just setting the pill on my tongue. I then took a sip of the water and tried to swallow the pill. I did but still felt like I was choking and the same water vomit happened. Yuck!
Also I think whoever broke into my car has been stalking around our house. My dogs have been going nuts.

Hello,
Comment by findingjoy 06.09.08 @ 6:53 amI had a real bad problem with taking normal vitamins. My Dr. put me on childrens chewable with iron. It worked! No more gagging on taste of pill and getting horrid stomache aches from them. Just thought the idea might help. (The only thing is if you are going to have a baby within the next 5 years take folic acid or get a chewable with it in it)
