Inflatables, Running, and Peanut Butter

Well, I missed my blogging yesterday. Mostly because I was exhausted. I'm not sure why because I got enough sleep... I think I'm still recovering from the weekend. My mom, sister, and niece came to visit. We took my niece to a place where they have a bunch of inflatables to go on. She wasn't so sure about going on the inflatables, so finally in the last 5 minutes we had I took her down the slide, which she absolutely loved and we did many times, so this was my big workout yesterday:

Yup, taking a 30 pound toddler up an unsteady inflatable and sliding down with her. I was dripping with sweat by the end! After that, we went to Sam's Club and mom bought us groceries, which I will get to a little later. I got home just before Brian, and I was completely beat. Brian was also extremely tired so we went and cuddled up close and took a nap. It was really nice. I finally forced myself to do my yoga at about 10pm and then went to bed.

Today, I really didn't do anything interesting. I worked on crocheting my purse and watched a movie and chatted online with a friend. Tonight was running night and I was completely determined to do better than last time and at least get in a mile. Starting out was rough tonight. I did manage to get through a mile and I let my body take over and feel the beat of the music. I told myself there is no reason I can't do as good as my best amount, so I did another mile and a half and I was still ok so I wanted to make sure I added on a lap like my goal for each time is. I added on two more laps, for a total of, YES, 2 CONSECUTIVE MILES!!! I walked a lap and then ran a lap, and then I was out of time to get back in time to watch a tv show with Brian, so I came back home. I decided on the way back that I think I want to start running everyday instead of every other when the weather is nice, and maybe double up doing yoga some of those days. We'll see what happens, though.

I may be finding people to work out with. I was supposed to go work out with a girl today but she never ended up texting me and there is another girl I've been emailing. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I found them on Craigslist through the "strictly platonic" section, but what can I say... I'm desperate and lonely and I really need some people around here to talk to. I even posted my own. I guess we'll see how that goes.

In other news, I still haven't heard back from my interview on Monday and I never got a call on another I had applied for and I haven't found too much worth applying for. I think I might go apply at Starbucks tomorrow.

Also, I had promised I would get back to my groceries. I need to take this time to tell you about an amazing find at Sam's Club, at least if you like peanut butter. We found this peanut butter and it is called "Naturally More". I highly recommend looking it up, but it has less sugar, good fats, and proteins. It has flax seed in it, which adds a nice texture and flavor. I was in a snacky mood and I wanted to try a little to see what it was like. I ended up eating a few spoonfuls, and those few completely satisfied both my appetite and my craving for something sweet. I love it!

Well, enough advertising for tonight. Until tomorrow...
