Random thoughts in no particular order. The Whole Foods store FINALLY opened up here.  I love, love, love it.  I’ve been there several times.  I’ve not actually bought anything while there though I’ve taken a lot of pictures and posted them to FB and sent them to friends who haven’t been yet.  If we had […]

Today I was talking to my husband on the telephone.  It wasn’t anything earth shattering or important.  Just what was he doing, what did we have to do tonight, what was for dinner.  And I said, “I am going to do two miles tonight but it shouldn’t take me very long.” Because it won’t.  I […]

The weekend was a dieting bust. Saturday it started with Dunkin Donuts donut holes and last night it ended with Pei Wei Pad Thai and Chicken Fried Rice. I did exercise on Friday and Saturday.  Though I don’t think I’ve been exercising enough.  I think 10 miles a week is the magic number and I’ve […]

I have become a fan of the Asian Market.  There is a huge one a few blocks from my house.  It has some of the most interesting things; quail eggs, red salted duck eggs, chicken feet.  It has a large and varied selection of cooking oils.  They have the largest noodle selection of any place […]

I did another 5k last weekend.  I hesitate to say I “ran” it because in the time it takes me to run it, most people can walk it.  It was hot.  H.O.T. hot.  As in surface of the sun hot.  At 8:00 p.m. at night.  And the course was hilly.  I did intervals; 2 minutes […]

Last night we had terrible weather.  Terrible, even by our standards, and the tornado season. Since the Governor sent the state employees home at 3:00 (that was bad I tell you) they sent everyone home at my office too. I went home, changed my clothes and went for a run.  The storms were terrible, 30 miles away, […]

God I love Weight Watchers!  No seriously.  It is true. I lost another 2.8 pounds last week.  Yahoo! So I’m down a total of 30.4 since I started the first of February and I think 17.4 pounds since I started WW in mid-March. I’ve been running outside.  Gasp!  I know!  It really isn’t as nice […]

I lost 4.8 pounds! Damn people, I’ve lost 25.6 […]
