Ew, I was not a healthy girl yesterday.  I definitely overate, but at least it was reasonable food.  I don't think I've had fast food in over 3 weeks now.  Woo hoo.  I did have two real cokes yesterday, but no coffee so that sort of counterbalances, right.  Eh, rationalization, whatever.

Today, I'm finally posting the QUINOA.  How sad that this is the first time?  I made a batch Tuesday night and topped it with sauteed kale and onions.  I had some last night and it's super good.  I make my quinoa with a veggie bouillon cube and YUM.  Those onions may look like a bit much, but I use sweet onions and I think they counterbalance the (somewhat) bitterness of the kale. 

Sadly, I left my gym bag at home, so I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing for working out today.  I ran over to Tarjay just now to pick up a helmet.  I'm still on the self-imposed ban from running.  But I also picked up an inflatable mattress while I was there because we are going camping tomorrow.  Supposedly.  But since we're not at all prepared, I question if it will really happen.  No laundry is done, no bags are packed, no groceries bought...so, we shall see.

Also, no Whole Foods trip today.  Sniff.

I'm a quitter

I think I'm going to have to quit running.  The shin splints are getting worse, and everything I've read has said that you have to stop and let them heal.  And then come back at 75% of what you were doing.  Which mean I can start back at 1.5 miles twice a week?  Ugh.  That doesn't even sound like a work out. 

But I really do want to be able to run and I need to keep in mind the long term goal.  Just kinda sucks when I'm full of motivation RIGHT NOW. 

So, I think maybe I should suck it up and buy a bike helmet.  I have a bike sitting in our garage (thanks ex-fiance!) so why not?  The main reason is that sitting on that seat hurts my rear, but I hear your butt toughens up.
