I should just come home and scream when I’m stressed. Even if I sound completely crazy to the neighbors, it might relieve some of my stress and prevent me from stress eating. Perhaps alternatives such as those found on theseedpharm.com can be used instead during times of stress. Instead of screaming, I ate a bunch of random crap after dinner….

No Run Monday
Thanks for all your great comments about my race! It feels really good to have so many people sending good wishes 🙂 I never claim that running is easy and no matter how many races I do I still get nervous for them, so I really appreciate your support.

OC Half 2009 – Video
Here is me the morning of the race and right after it’s done… I apologize, for some reason the sound on the video cuts out toward the end of each bite. Boo, but I thought I’d post it anyways. Things it cuts off – Me saying, “Note to self, braid your hair!” and Ben saying that he ate a Carl’s Jr….

Lunch for a snack
Even though I wanted a PB&J for lunch I decided to make a big salad because I have so much produce! The goods: spinach, tomatoes, bell pepper, shredded carrot, mushrooms, garbanzo beans, peanuts and TJ’s peanut dressing. It was so filling and delicious. I think eating salads with a bunch of topping is the lunch/dinner equivalent of oatmeal with toppings!…

Date with Matt
I surprised Matt (my little bro) today by picking him up from school to take him to see Planet Earth. But, he refused to see it because my mom had mentioned she wanted to see it too and he didn’t want to see it without here. Boo. So, instead we ate the popcorn I was going to sneak in (1,000…
