Indiana, Day 2

any other alternatively relaxing day these days. I did get up and run this morning, seeking to hold my ordinary. whilst anyone else became getting breakfast collectively, I headed outside to run a few miles. i used to be scheduled for four hundred-meter repeats these days, but due to the fact i have in no way run round here earlier than, and that i had no idea in which i used to be going, I figured i might just run 3 miles and phone it a day.

It became 40 stages this morning--nevertheless heat for this time of yr!--so I simply wore my strolling tights and a long-sleeved shirt. It was kind of funny what number of vehicles I noticed jogging in their driveways, "warming up". It genuinely failed to sense that cold to me! ;)

I didn't need to wander off, so I simply ran out a mile and a half, with just one flip in there. it's usually sort of scary to run in an unusual vicinity by myself, so I left my iPod on the house, and simply tried to get the run over with fast. I wasn't proceeding to run very speedy, however i was a bit creeped out, so I wager my pace contemplated that. besides, I became around after a mile and a half, after which came lower back the same manner I went out.

After that, I got here in and made my breakfast. I made my regular as of recently--oatmeal with caramel, chocolate chips, and coconut, for a complete of 6 PointsPlus. It tasted heavenly these days, for some cause. i would surely choose that over the greasy publisher 1st baron verulam and sausage and stuff that the guys were consuming.

within the afternoon, my mother and father gave the youngsters a pair greater Christmas provides, and Eli were given some army Legos. He wanted to put them together right away, and i show up to love constructing with Legos, so Jerry and that i helped him.

He were given two large sets, so Jerry and i built the primary set, after which started working on the opposite. by using that point, i was geared up to be performed. Eli had lost interest some time ago, so we have been on our very own. the day prior to this's Subway become so top that i used to be yearning it again, so Jerry went to select that up for us for lunch. alas, it wasn't 1/2 as exact as the previous day; the bread became quite stale.

It turned into riding me loopy to peer all of the junk food at the counter in undeniable view (my mom certainly requested me to assist her make Reese's Cup Pie by way of unwrapping Reese's Cups--umm, no). So Jerry and i then drove multiple miles to McDonald's to get an ice cream cone. That truly hit the spot! ultra-modern cone looked decent:

type of small, but that is the size that they are imagined to be--the "5-PointsPlus-size" :)  I constantly remember them as five PP, but sometimes they are larger, and occasionally they're smaller. I just go along with anything i get.

i have finished actually nicely with counting my PointsPlus and sticking to my plan whilst i'm right here. it is been top notch tough, with all the junk meals, but I need to move domestic on Wednesday at my goal weight, so I hold thinking about that.

My older brother and his lady friend Becky flew in today, so now each person is right here. we'll probable be gambling games tonight, and i honestly want to have my (rationed) wine ;)  Oh, talking of alcohol, appearance what I saw at Wal-Mart when I stopped there for a minute nowadays with my brother...

I virtually wanted it, but i am definitely clueless in terms of liquor, and would don't have any idea what to combine it with! a couple of people on Twitter recommended pineapple juice, for a pineapple the other way up cake taste--yum! however I did not buy it. maybe subsequent time. :)
