My dear sweet co-worker brought me a box of sugar-babys at lunch today. Since I didn't want to hurt her feelings by not eating some I opened them and decided to have just a few. That few turned into a few handfuls. I did tell her that it was very sweet to think of me but to not bring them to me again! :)

October 5th, 2011

So... Yeah...

Today is my son's 11th birthday. I moved my rest day from Friday to today, so that I would have time to make his birthday dreams come true. :)

Long story short, lots of snack foods today. I ate good stuff too, but there were enough treats scattered throughout the day that recording all of it isn't going to be pretty.

This also counts for our celebration meal (which we usually have on Sunday).

October 3rd, 2011

Notes:

Grrr.. Just had a very negative experience at the gym. Need to vent.

I went to workout at my corporate gym, at a location I don't usually go to. My usual gym had a yoga class at the time I could work out, so I thought I'd just run over to a different location. It turned out to be a less than ideal workout area, as the kettlebells are out on the basketball court, so folks were shooting hoops…
