Blog Thoughts, 4 Miles, A bit of pre-cooking


Austin sent me this image, along with a bunch of others, in a forward a couple of weeks ago. I love it. It reminded me a lot of you bloggies. None of us are the same - at all. Some track calories, but not workouts. Some are anti-tracking period the end. Some eat meat while others are vegan. Some live by the green monster. Some, like me, keep meaning to try them. However, no one has ever (to my knowledge) had a problem with what I do or why I do it - it's very much a personal thing and "doing what works for you." I respect THAT and am so glad that you guys are so supportive of what I'm doing, for me, even if it's not in line with what you're doing or the goals you have set.

I know that I'm all over the place with my blog - jumping from books to cooking to working out to going out. A little bit of shopping, a little bit of "house stuff." My goals change often, as do my interests, and i'm sure I define success differently than others (actually I know I do - some of you are anti-scale, which, I respect!). But I guess to me that's what makes it interesting - seeing what you're all doing, figuring out how I can adopt it or understand it, and getting ideas from you. Very cool! Thank you for that!

Q: What does being successful mean to you?

Q: How do you know when you've been successful?

Stepping off soapbox.... back to normal programming. So yesterday was SO incredibly blah. Stacy was out sick, Mel was on vacay and the office was just quiet. I still felt like a zombie so I just quietly sat in my cubicle and worked, walked 4 miles during lunch & read 50 more pages of Wildwood, worked more and then went STRAIGHT home and got in bed. Lame, I know! I just worked on some more stuff for Austin's birthday, pre-cooked 4 servings of turkey sausage pasta and 4 servings of easy thai curry, messed with a few more meal plans and called it a night! I ended up at 1,660 calories, 198 carbs, 57 fat grams and 77 protein grams. Here's what I ate. Oops - just noticed the lunch & dinner are on the lunch line - my bad!

Today is much less blah so far! Looking forward to double workouts and Twilight with my mom!!! What are you doing tonight?
