Day 65

Wow. Day 65 already.

And the weather is GREAT! I had no idea how much I'd missed nice weather until it came back. Yay!

Last week I had three people comment (favorably) on my changing appearance, which was great to hear, though I didn't think it was so very obvious. But still ... Yay me!

Today, because the weather was so nice, I went out and had my first outdoors run of the year. It was only 2 miles because

a) I'd already done my PCP and didn't know what I had left in the tank

b) my left calf was/is pretty tight and while it doesn't hurt it's not comfortable

c) (the main reason) I left the run too late in the day and it was a little over-warm in the sun

Despite the heat and my calf ... it was lovely.

Since last week was a bit of a disaster time-wise, I invested some time today preparing my food for the week:

washing vegetables,

roasting a pepper:

cooking brown rice in beet juice with an onion:

steaming broccoli rabe:
