- I have eaten HORRIBLY this week and it is only Wednesday. Last night we had Outback for my dad's birthday. Yesterday and today for lunch I ate at an on-campus restaurant that is run by our students. The food is delicious, but loaded with calories. My week will get no better, either with an upcoming trip and the weekend.
- I finished the couch to 5k, and I am up to running the distance for a 5k (3.1 miles). Now I just need to incorporate a hill into my running like the one on the course for the 5k I am running in March. However, despite the fact that I can run the whole distance, Monday was an awful day for me and I just could not go all the way through. I want to run today, but with 40 mph gusts of wind, I don't foresee it happening.
- And speaking of that wind, what is up with the weather? It's rainy, it's cold, it's windy. Can we please just get a nice day around here? Preferably 60 degrees or above with sunshine, no wind. Thankyouverymuch. (And you Northerners, I feel for you- at least we don't have all that snow you are dealing with!!)
- Tomorrow and Friday I will be in New Orleans for work. It is a flying trip (literally and figuratively), so I won't be there much over 24 hours. However, in that time, I plan to eat a delicious supper on Thursday night and have beignets on Friday morning from Cafe DuMonde. Now you see why I said my eating habits this week are not going to improve!
- For me, Valentine's Day is an overrated "holiday," if you can even call it that. It's a Hallmark holiday, and yes, I got WEG two cards (a funny and a serious) so I contributed to their ploy. However, we are not the type to go over the top. We will have a nice dinner at home sometime over the weekend and exchange cards. Other than that, I have gotten him some Lindor truffles. I don't believe that there should be just one designated day to tell someone you love them- you should do it every day.
And that's all I have to say today :-)
You've had a busy week! Where are you going to eat in NOLA? If you love oysters, Drago's has the best in the city.
ReplyDeleteWe're doing the nice dinner at home on Sunday & going to an Anti-VD Dinner party Saturday night. :)
GOOD JOB on the Couch to 5k!! That's awesome chica! We should meet up for a run one day. Although, you are right about this weather, ugh!! I've been mostly running on the treadmill, and I know once I transition back to the pavement it's going to hurt.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!!
I would love to email you about the couch to 5k program. I have the app on my phone, and I am currently on week 5. 5.2 was hard, but doable. However, I am so scared for 5.3 (running for 20 min. straight)! If you have any tips, please email me at prissysouthernprep@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh how I love those round Lindor truffles!!! YUM!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about eating... with my new job I've stayed away from home and I've been eating out - it's lovely, but now I'm a bit fed up of it... I just want a plain, simple home cooked meal!!
Have a great week!
