Google Blogger

I should say that I am still trying to figure out this google blogger thing. I REALLY want to be able to categorize my posts. I want some to be about what I did, and some to be about what I ate and exercised. I don't think EVERYONE wants to know what I ate and when I exercised (unless it involves a fun story about falling or something very very yummy).

So today so far, so good. Well. So far so okay. I got up went to my breakfast meeting (ate a flax fig waffle on the way...actually 2 flax fig waffles) and then got there and had coffee with milk. Then we were out of milk and so I had some light cream.
Then I saw the scones and thought that 8 a.m. was as good a time as any to have breakfast number 2.

I stopped for coffee on my way to the office (a medium with skim milk because I am trying to cut down on caffeine).

I then had a banana.

THEN was the dessert. I arrived in my office to an email from the office manager -"there is a yummy dessert upstairs, and it has whipped cream, and it is too big for the refrigerator so please eat". (FYI - we have a dorm size fridge) So after my banana I decided to taste it. It looked yummy, chocolate, then whipped cream, then strawberries.

I tasted it and thought it had gone very very very bad. I threw it away.
I then ate my lunch at an appropriate lunch eating time (like 12:02).
Then I saw the office manager eating the dessert. She said it was yummy. I thought maybe the banana screwed with my taste buds. I tried it again after a discussion with our law clerk. He said it tasted like there was booze in it. Oh RUM! That's the taste. So I had some again. There was a LOT of rum in it. I thought maybe it would make me drunk, but alas it didn't.

I then had an orange.

Then I was going to meet my friend for drinks. We met. But no drinks for Jess. I forgot my I.D. and the bartender wouldn't serve me alcohol. It happens sometimes. So I had a diet pepsi. Calorie crisis averted!

Fenway Franks

Last night my husband and I went to the Sox/Angels game. It was a nice night, too bad the Sox didn't play better. One thing about Fenway, is that there is a LOT of food. I did see one sign that said "healthy options" with an arrow. I'm not sure what the healthy options were...peanuts? Anyway, I think I did pretty well. I had a frank and a beer and some peanuts. My husband did okay too, he had two franks, three beers and some peanuts.

I should also add that after the game, we walked from Fenway to JP Licks in the Back Bay (it was VERY crowded) and he had a sundae and I had a frozen yogurt cone. We then walked back to Park Street and took the T home.

That's walking right?

So I walked twice yesterday, once in the morning (for a half an hour around my neighborhood) and then last night for about 40 minutes. I also did some triceps and some push ups.

I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to set this up - if my posts are going to be about things I do and about what I eat and how I exercise and try to keep myself sane?
