As if to underscore what I said yesterday, today is drab and gray. I just didn't feel as energetic. The air was heavy and damp because of last night's rain, and 50 degrees feels a lot colder when there's no sun. Well, I went and ran anyway. Not sure how quickly, as I have once again failed to look at the clock. Maybe I should invest in one of those arm-band stopwatches. I'd probably just forget to wear it.
Last night's dinner turned out well. Pasta, salad, and garlic bread...entertainingly enough, none of the adults had any salad, and the two kids were both ecstatic to eat it. And they loved Panda, who was very tolerant of being chased and carted about. She even played with them for a while, though we eventually shut her in the guest room so she could have a little bit of peace.
I did some white chocolate chip craisin cookies, which I think could have turned out better, though James seems to like them. I used the chocolate chip cookie recipe in my cookbook, and just substituted in what I wanted instead. Next time I plan on making them a little smaller, and turning down the heat from the recommended setting...our oven is circa 1969, and is possessed by some form of minor demon that gets its kicks by scorching whatever it can. Add that to the list of Reasons We Would Like to Move Elsewhere.
Oh, and I did finally buy that stability ball. Haven't used it yet, but plan on giving it a try tomorrow when I have some time.
You have effectively flooded my feed of recent blogs, but I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about getting in shape. I lack this motivation as of late.
ReplyDeleteI'm making an effort to post every day, so you should probably not follow me if you don't want to be flooded. It really helps me keep going.
