Today is my mom's birthday. Happy birthday dear mamochka. Love you.

I am a bit tired for a very long discussion about my day, but I will try my best. I woke up with a little bit of a headache. Most of the time I will have headaches when I am dehydrated. Unfortunately I don't drink enough - which is very important ingredient of the diet. I do have galoned water at work and instead of usual suspects, like coffee or soda I try to drink water. I just know that amounts are not good enough. It is work in progress. Eventually I will get there.

I took 2 Excedrin's and went to clean kitten's area. I exercise 3 times a week, so on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am going out to walk/run. Since I had headache, instead of doing my morning chores quickly I lallygagged, so by the time I went out it was quarter after 7. I have only 30 minutes for sport in the morning, since I have to leave hose by 8:30 to go to work (which I should start at 8:30, but we are not discussing this right now. It takes me 30 minutes to get to work). My usual walk/run is about 2.5 miles and I am trying to do about a mile on the football field of our highschool, since they made it good for the runners. Every time I am running I am trying to improve myself. If about 5 month ago I was mostly walking for 30 minutes, no I can say that I am running at least 50%, hopefully more. I still running with small steps meaning that even if I run I don't cover larger distance. I know from the past that my running step is wide, so my target is to get to wide step that I had when I was a teenager.

After shower I had my regular breakfast - cereal. I also take Acai capsules in the morning and vitamin E. Got dressed and went to work. During my lunch time I had some left over pasta and potato salad, that had been open for several days now and it has to be finished. After lunch I was munching on edamame, which suppose to be healthy (see below), an apple and banana.

Before I went home MR asked me what are we going to have for dinner and I offered to make rice and warm up chicken masala, that we've got from Costco an have to eat eventually. I like this meal. It is a biy too spice for my taste, but it warms you up and has feeling of fulfilment. There are left overs of cause.

After dinner I end up doing more physical activities, since I decides to move more boxes upstairs from the basement (we have to start this renovation soon or I will never have a baby). So I was doing that for about 1.5 hours. After 2 days of work (about 4 hours) 2 small bookshelves are empty. Two big ones to go.

At the end I watched one of my favorite TV shows - House (I think I have a lot of favorite shows: 24, Lie to me, NCIS, Bones, Fringe, and I think there are a few more. I also watch American Idol and Lost, but this year mostly because of MR, I am not sure I like these shows anymore). While I was watching House, I ate about 30 grape tomato. They are the best.

I am going to sleep right after I publish this. Be back tomorrow.
