A Saturday Treat....

Good Morning and up way too early but there's not much I can do about it! This is my internal 'old lady' clock that wakes me: up at 5:30 (I laid in bed trying to go back-no avail...)
1/2 zb. and wanting to make coffee, but that grinder is SO loud.....OK- coffee is on. Tip: organic decaff coffee beans @ Ada's are great! (I have French Roast) I don't mind the decaff so far, but I am not a true cafe du monde afficianado....(sp)...I am cooking eggplant for lunch today- that will be a new venture, as far as a zone meal.. I am looking forward to a run this am- just me and my tunes. Haven't done that in a while. Need a little 'me' time!

Ran 33 min; about 4-4.5mi.
Breakfast: 8AM- 2 hb eggs, 2 oz. turkey deli, 1/2c. kidney beans, 1.5c. eggplant (yummy-a new favorite), 1c. raspberries. I am hoping that the eggs will help offset the fruit in terms of premature hunger. No added fat since eggplant was cooked with 3B EVOO, plus yolk fat....?4-3-4

Lunch- 12:30 4B- 4 oz. chicken, 1/2c. kidneys, 1.5c. eggplant...great, all mixed-up crazy like that.

Snack 2:30- nectarine, 1 oz. chicken, 3 almonds

Snack 4:15- nectarine, hb egg, 1/2 tsp. ab. I think my downfall was sitting at this pokey tourney being bored, smokey, in a bar scene, which I would like to say there were 2 kinds of potato chips, tortillas & salsa from Iguana Mia, so you know how those chips are like...greasy.....some fried chicken strips...the ever so faithful onion dip.......oh yeah, don't forget the 3 trays of desserts from The Flying Pig. So, yeah, I have had both of my snacks by 4:25PM today.

Dinner was a cheat of sorts, in that me and my girl took our misters to a 'cf gathering' from our old gym...Chili's...I had about 2/3 the Margarita Chicken breast (still too much @ about 6-7oz.), 5 grilled shrimp, double veggies, salad with rw vinegar, and, three beers........yeah. they were good. (this would be the maximum alcohol intake for me these days....and trust me.....I struggled with whether or not to drink them.....because this like....NEVER happens.....wow...I am a freak show. I get it. But it was great to see some of our old cf buddies- THAT'S what I miss!!...they all wanted to know how we were doing at the 'new place'...this was a page-turner for me- but felt so good and right! I am so down with where I am...can you tell?

No more snacks, though. A quiet victory.......freak.
