Good advice on the runs. He he, you said fartlek.

Work it!
I'll be over here on my couch cheering you on.

Now there's commitment - an hour a day?!? I think I might die. I'm thrilled with myself when I do 30 mins every other day. Be kind to yourself, Rhonda.

That's totally reasonable. I do that all the time with my current job - read about something I'd rather be doing, then get crabby here. It wears off eventually.

Did you ever talk with your mom?
Have you thought of what you'll do on the 19th after work?

What's your ST plan? I am trying to find a decent routine to add on my off days.
Yes, talked to mom, got a bunch of "now you know what
I went through with your father" BS - this is nothing like my parents' divorce, and it's just my mom being a narcissist. Typical.
Actually I got the date wrong AGAIN. I am convinced he misspoke but he thinks I misheard. Anyway, he is leaving on the 20th. My friend from WI flies in on the 22nd so I will definitely get to go party it up.

I HATE stopped trains. If I wanted to sit motionless, I wouldn't be in a vehicle.
WTG ditching the cake. Lousy cake is lousy.
No run for me today, don't want to push it. This morning my knee feels a little too.... present. Like, I am aware of it. It is not swollen or painful or any of that stuff, but it's almost like every time I step someone tells me to focus on my knee. So I don't know if it's psychological worry over hurting myself again, or if it is a little tired from yesterday. Today will be yoga and/or strength work at home.
Don't have an eating plan for today - don't have a whole lot of food at home. Will concoct something, possibly a burrito dealie, for dinner. Salad for lunch. Muffin for breakfast. Hopefully the store next door has good, ripe pears again so I can procure one of those for snackies.
Is it foolish to hope for another 2+ lb loss this week, after two in a row??
