Date day :)
Uncategorized February 28th, 2009Oh yeah, I have a date… with the most amazing 6 year old, EVER! We’re going to the library, lunch, then to see the San Diego Opera perform Rumplestilzkin. Did I spell that right? I am too lazy to google it. 
I talked to my Grandmother, who will be here the first couple days of April before she leaves for a cruise, and she was so excited to learn that she’ll be here for my oldest’s cello concert! How exciting for him, too! He adores my Grandmother. I had to endure, er, I mean, I taled to her for almost 2 hours… which totally warranted a glass of wine. But, I was ok in my calories. I have just been trying not to drink much, since alcohol and weight loss aren’t friends.
I am going to run 3 miles today, I’m just not sure when. Probably tonight just before it gets dark. I’ll just do a path through the neighborhood. I’m excited to run outside. Not sure why I stayed on the treadmill all last week… it was cold on Tuesday morning, but the other days were ok. I think I really like it for the speed control. I never know how fast I am going; I just try to judge it by my heart rate and then average it when I get home.
Okay, I am off to start my day. Happy Saturday, chickies!

Alot of folks like wine. I haven’t been able to aquire the taste. I guess that’s good. I do like some mixed drinks, wine coolers, and occasionally a beer. My thing though is Coke. Coca Cola Coke, that is. I still allow myself some of that, not the diet. I try to stay away from too much diet products, and never could get to liking a diet soda. I used to drink about 6 cans of Coke a day. Now I’m down to 6 cans a week. If there’s one thing I’m learning in this process, is that I may not be able to make myself like a substitute. This process might take longer in the long run but I’m not going to be making myself eat and drink things I really can’t enjoy. I think I’ve also learned this about mayonaise. Not just any mayo will do, but Best Foods (Hellmans). I have the regular and the low fat in my fridge. The low fat is almost gone but has been sitting there for months now. It’s just really bad. The tradeoff is 15 calories or 90 calories… BIG difference, especially for a measly tablespoon. But I found that the low fat really runined whatever I was using it on. If I’m making something that needs two or three tablespoons then I try to mix the two and make it work that way.
Enjoy your wine when you do choose to have it, we just have to choose wisely. We’re supposed to eat, drink, and be merry…we just got lost in that idea years ago and turned it into gluttony!
