May 13th, 2010

Morning started with a light walk/run on the road along the hotel. It was cold. I have to say that there was almost no spring this year. Some times I do miss Israel (I lived there for 13 years) because its warm weather.

We had breakfast at the hotel. I had poached egg with smoked salmon. It was great. Really unexpected breakfast in the hotel.

When we arrived to the meeting I've got myself coffee. After the meeting we had lunch at the cafeteria. My lunch included chicken noodle soup, mozzarella sandwich and desert. I ate too much. I was stuffed to the gilds.

I did not eat anything on the way home and when I actually came home me and MR went out to have dinner at our new favorite place: Chipotle.

Since it's been several days ago, I don't rememer if I snaked anything in the evening. Hopefully not

May 10th, 2010

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.
