Super Saturday! What'cha eating /doing?

 Great day! I did the 5k sponsored by my employer and improved my time by at least 1:20!  I say "at least" because we went off course lol and added probably 30 seconds or more. It was stinking HOT, but I had a good time!

Helped my mom before lunch, now I'm gonna try to get a nap before taking Rio (happy birthday to my buddy Roo roo :)  ) to training and then working a 6hr shift til midnight-thirty.

B 5am - mint cookie / skim  milk
B 715am  mint cookie / water
S - Belvita breakfast biscuits (bad bad bad)
L - scrambled egg w/ shrimp, pepper, cheese, slice tomato from my garden and P28 toast
D - Nik's chicken pot pie leftovers, w/ peppers
S - cottage cheese w/ sf jello and fruit
  - maybe another snack... sure hope not because those Belvita things killed my calories

I had a protein bar for breakfast.

I have no clue what I'm eating the rest of the day.  But I'm getting hungry so I better figure something out for lunch.

I went grocery shopping by myself the other day and my back was bothering me so much, I just wanted to get out of the store as fast as I could.  So I ended up skipping some of the items on my list.  Which means I am short of things I like to eat around here.

 Driving my daughter to unload her supposedly surplus stuff to donation site. (I'm suspicious of what she's getting rid of. I'd better not look.) I'll take a load of mine, too, probably to a cat shelter thrift shop. It's sure easy to amass stuff! I swear I don't bring it home, it just is there...

B-- coffee caramello shake
L-- chile and cheese
D-- chicken thigh, trimmed, and a bite or two of veges
S-- protein cocoa or protein pudding

Iced tea, hot herbal tea, bottled water in the car
If my tooth is sweet later, I'll add some Torani to my herbal tea, but I think the cocoa will fix me up.

Great to be alive and well here in New England. Leaped out of bed (well almost) and went to pilates and yoga class. Then shopping for summer tops, then to Lowes' for more mulch and garden stuff, then into the yard for 3 hours of digging, mulching, planting, etc., etc., etc. Just showered off (playing with earth is dirty business), and had a protein bar....now it's to the supermarket for weekly food then home for dinner and and early bed. I tell you, it feels great to be alive today.

LJ - I'm bowing to all your awesomeness with these 5Ks. You are rockin' the race world!

B: chocolate protein shake
L: GF pizza, cucumbers, chocoate square
S: Quest Protein bar
D: sushi I think...
S: popcorn/gatorade...need to replenish those bodily fluids

HAHA Thanks..... I had a great time today even though it was hot.  I don't know if I ever jogged voluntarily in my life?   My trainer is the one who organized today's race and I told her by Fall I want to be actually "competing" in 5ks instead of just participating.  AND I hope to do a Sprint Triathlon in October.

(Isn't gardening AWESOME!?  I totally slacked off on mine this year, but I miss it so I will do a fall garden)

Thursday my dentist removed an old crown that was not placed right, and is putting a new one on at his cost. Last night in the middle of the night, the temporary came off. I woke up enough to put it on my side table, but I then had nightmares all night long about teeth coming out (I'd had two crowns fall out of my head in the week prior to that)

So today we went to the dentists office, and the dental assistant cleaned it all up and replaced the crown using a semi-permanent type of glue.... we stopped at Taco bell and I got a soft chicken taco and by the end of it, the tooth was off again. So back to the dentists we went, and she tried a third type of fixative which lasted exactly long enough for me to stand up and thank her before the tooth popped off again. So she brought in the dentist who is there on Saturdays (mine doesn't work Saturdays). She looked everything over, made the hole on the inside of the tooth larger so it would have room for more cement, and then decided to use the permanent cement they use for fixing a crown on permanently (which I imagine is pretty good considering soem of my crowns are going on 20 years old and they're still attached).... and the permanent cement lasted 10 minutes. She told me if it didn't stick to pitch it since nothing would keep it on if the permanent cement doesn't work. Makes me worry how the real crown will stick, but that's something teh dentist needs to worry about not me. So a two hour chunk of my saturday was taken up for nothing. But hubby and I slept in and it was a glorious beginning to summer vacation (Graduation was Friday).

Today ...

1. Ruby red grapefruit
2. soft taco at taco bell
3. protein shake
4. FAGE with freshraspberries

The rest of the day I'll likely have:
1. some quiche
2. some artichoke hearts an cheese chunks and olives
3. more grapefruit.
4. Probably two or three more protein shakes.

Stuff. That's how weekends are for me.

Today so far I've had:

1. Homemade veggie chili
2. Greek yogurt with strawberries/Fiber One
3. A piece of WW bread with a smear of PB (ah...PB...still ain't buying it...had it at my cousin's house but it reaffirmed that I still love it too much to buy it at home)

4. A chipotle-bbq snack wrap

Now I am working on fluids. If I manage to act sane for dinner I can still make it out of this day with decent stats.

I do actually WANT a protein shake but the only protein powder I have is Click and I prefer Click by itself. Hmph.
