May 11th 2010

It had been several days since I started the blog. I am writing every day. I hope I will have enough energy to continue at that paste.

Today is Tuesday, so no running. MR forgot to turn on alarm, so he left house in a hurry. My alarm went off at 6:30, however I stayed at bed till 7:10 and probably could stay longer. Today is one of those days that you feel you can sleep for very long, but it is middle of the week, so you have to get up and go to work. I wish I could stay in bed.

So I got up. My chores as usual: feed kittens, cleaned around, feed big cats, shower and regular breakfast - cereal. I look at it like a ritual. I got out of the house about 10 min earlier than usual, but my arrival to work stayed the same.

It is cold. We are in the middle of May and the temperatures are barely crossing 60. Summer please. Enough of this cold.

There was nothing unusual at work. I had one serving edamame around 10:30. I read about these beans and they are suppose to be healthy. Interestingly, I feel full very quickly by eating only 30g of these little things. Maybe I just convinced myself that this is good snack, but we will see over time.

I had chicken masala for lunch (leftovers) and then pear, banana, and one more serving of edamame. Tomorrow I will be traveling for business, so I am not sure I will be able to keep with simple food, but I will keep you posted.

Since me and MR had a Dr. appointment in the evening we went to our favorite fast dinner place - Noodle Gourmet. This is Chinese restaurant with affordable meals. MR had Oriental noodle soup with flat rice noodles and sliced roast pork and I had beef Lo Main. MR finished everything and I had about 1/3-1/2 of the portion. MR will have the rest of it for lunch tomorrow. Eventually we came home around 8pm.

So I spend some time on computer, then we watched America Idol. I like when there are some talents in the competition and you feel it that people are competing, however this season is really bad. Two names are standing out: Crystal Bowrsax and Lee Duwasy.

I am really tired tonight and after I am done reading a little bit more wood burning stoves that we are planning to install in our basement (I am munching on grapes as I write this), I am going to sleep. If I can get internet connection during my business trip I will back, if not I promise I will post very detail update.
