420 Calories in 3 Servings of Oreos... Let this be a warning to you...

Sunday, January 25th 2009

Do not bring the Oreos into the the house. This is a warning. I just ate not one, not two, but three servings of Oreos, and for the record, that is only 6 cookies! Yowch!!! Good thing it is early and I have lots of running to do tonight. I better add squats, push-ups and crunches just to be on the safe-side! It is dreary, and I am suffering without my sunshine. I need it bad, it has me in a funk. It has been cloudy and dreary here for over a week, and it is finally wearing on me. I NEED...

Adult Onset Asthma?

Thursday, January 22nd 2009

I have been dealing with some wheezing and coughing off and on, but the last two nights have been bad. Tonight on my run I actually had what I would consider an attack at about 1.4 miles. The description that I have heard, that now makes sense to me, is feeling like you are breathing under water. It was scary. I slowed to a walk and made it home, although still wheezing, it was not nearly as bad. I did an albuterol treatment, and now I am just shaky from the meds, but feel so much better. ...

Played Hooky with One of My Girls

Tuesday, January 20th 2009

So it was just a runny nose, but you can't ever be too sure about these things. I wouldn't want her to give it to anyone in her preschool. Or... mommy really needed a valid excuse to ditch work today. Truly, she did have a runny nose! Truly work would have driven me nuts today!!! It was nice to share some time with Alex. My twin girls are a handful together, really good girls, just very busy. I vegged out watching the inauguration most of the day. We spent some time outside working in th...

5.36 Miles... not a bad day at all.

Sunday, January 18th 2009

I really pumped it on the first mile again tonight. Uphill and still made it in a 9.5 minute mile. I think it was the last 9.5 minute mile of the night, but that is another story.

My brother ran the 1/2 marathon route today because he was paranoid about the grade. He said that it is really flat, so that should be a welcome change for me. My daily route is nothing but hills, so when I get to run where it is pretty flat, it is a relief.

Eating was under control today. That is a ...

Nice Run - Making Up For Lost Time

Thursday, January 15th 2009

So today was pretty good. Had a lunch meeting with some of my partners in crime. Could have been disastrous, a buffet. Ole' Times Country Buffet of all things in the world! Now being born and raised in the south by a mama who could cook amazing fried chicken and greens and potatoes... oh man this blog has gone awry! Back to the task at hand, I was a good girl. I filled my first plate with a huge mound of lettuce, a couple of tomatoes, a few olives and a little bit of tuna salad. My second...
