OK, my beloved nike ipod thingy is not recording the length/pace of my ‘wunning’ accurately. I am very unhappy about this. It’s supposed to last for 1000 hours and I have not covered anywhere near that. On the plus side I am up to week 4 of my ‘first 5k’ learn-to-run program. And tomorrow I will be going down stairs like an old person…one step at a time, because my calves are very sore.
Also, I am eating way too many carbs and all the bad ones, and not getting enough fruit and vegetables. This has been going on for the last couple of weeks. Partly because there is a fruit fly population explosion in my kitchen so I have cleared all possible breeding grounds. I set up an elaborate trap in a wine decanter, and drowned many many so I am hoping I have broken the cycle. So yucky.
I bought some very pretty earrings, three pairs of shoes and two books today. The budget has been thrown out the window. Another example of how fragile my self-discipline is. Yesterday I was in a total financial panic because my old car had broken down again (I thought) and I can’t throw any more cash into it. I was ready to go buy a new one, when my in-house mechanic (younger son) found the problem and fixed it very cheaply. Since I had blown through my very small savings account over the last 2 weeks I would rather not take on a new big expense for a while. I really can’t understand this - I make a very good salary, why am I broke all the time? Probably cause I spend a lot of money each month on just pretty stuff. Bad, bad, bad.
It is very late, and I am not sleepy. The last few nights have not been good. I will have a hot bath and try for sleep.
