Today was a good all around day. I committed the diet sin of skipping breakfast, but I was overstuffed from the pizza--and overall I think it's generally a good idea to follow your inclinations. I took Catherine shopping and then came home to a nice lunch of lunch meats with cream cheese, an english muffin, soup, jalapenos and one point worth of olives. Dinner was turkey burgers--I had vinegar and salt on my fries so I ended the day with 6 points which I blew on a devils food cupcake Catherine made. I loved feeling free to drink milk with the cupcake. I'm ending the day feeling full and satisfied and looking forward to tomorrow's steak dinner. I also ran for 12 minutes along the 5K track. It wasn't that cold--around 40--so I just took it slow and did some of the breathing through my nose and I was fine. It felt good to have a destination. I have a long way to go though--my legs felt heavy, and I just flat out don't really enjoy the act of running--at least not like I enjoy walking. But maybe that will come later, when I feel confident that I can run more or less indefinitely like I can walking. Goodness knows my "running" isn't much faster than a walk anyway.
Grateful today for---kalamata olives--weird how I went from not liking olives at all to being passionate about them.
Milk
The ability to buy food and to cook food--the general great luxury of enough money. I did a food order for a lady today--no food in their house and she doesn't know how to bake cookies! I've never met anyone who doesn't know how to make cookies! The food orders are plentiful and generous and it IS more than just the bare basics, but still---MY house is filled with everything I could want to cook with or eat--such as the stuff for the cupcakes--and things to put ON the burgers--little luxuries like relish and dill pickles and onions. I paid the bills this morning and was feeling a little bit tightly stretched. Not anymore.
