I’m feeling better after my meltdown post this morning.  One thing that made me feel better was breakfast – some raspberries – directly out of the pint – and a Gardenburger chicken patty (random… I know…)

But the real thing that made me feel better was a package that arrived in the mail:

White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter that Leianna sent to me!!!  We did a PB swap – I sent her some Cinnamon Swirl and she sent me the White Chocolate.  I was so excited, it totally made my day.  Thanks, Leianna!

You know I had to dig into that immediately…  no bread, crackers or fruit required.  I’m talking straight out of the jar with a spoon, baby:

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM!!!  Perfect snackie.

I realized that in my post about my 20-miler last Sunday, I forgot to mention a couple funny things that happened.  At around mile 4, when it was just S and I, I was just running along the path when all of a sudden there was a skunk running about 3 feet away from me!  I couldn’t believe it – it was kind of an urban area of San Francisco, and I have never seen a skunk so close up before.  I tried to get S to hurry up and take a picture, but he was too slow and it ran away   It was really cool, although the other runners going by didn’t seem to care at all.  I totally stopped and was pointing like a school girl, and squealing “Oooh look, a SKUNK!!”  This one guy ran by and was definitely rolling his eyes at me.  He was probably thinking how I was ruining my PR for stopping to look at a skunk.

But I would rather turn my PR into a P U!!!  Get it?!?!  Yeah I know, I’m a riot.  I’ll be here all night.

The second funny thing that happened was in the very beginning of my run while I was running along the Embarcadero.  I was just running along, when who did I see running in the other direction but… Kath from Kath Eats Real Food!  It was really funny.  I’ve been reading her blog for a while, but never talked to her or anything.  So it was funny just to see her run right by me in real life.  I didn’t stop her to introduce myself, because I didn’t want to interrupt either of our runs, but I left a comment on her blog letting her know I saw her.  Kinda cool

Lunch today was a shrimp salad:

For an afternoon snack, I had some greek yogurt with a banana and some sunflower seed butter:

I also had some rice cakes.

and a banana.

I’m starting to notice that I get stuck in food ruts have certain food themes on certain days.  For example, today was seemingly a banana day… I ate 3 of them.  A few days ago, I had an apple theme.  Oh well, I guess those are healthy themes to have, right??

After work, S and I moved two more carloads of his stuff.  His apartment is pretty much empty now – we will do one final carload tomorrow and then turn in his keys and it will be official.  Look how empty it is:

And… I’m so happy… today I sold the dining room table that is sitting in my garage, and I also got rid of the sofa!  The sofa I just gave away, I don’t think anybody was going to pay for that thing and I was just glad to be rid of it and not have to move it myself.  The table I actually got a little bit of money for.  The couple who bought it gave me half the money to hold it for them, and then they are going to pick it up on either Friday or Saturday.  Woo hoo!!! 

Because of all the moving and the people coming to pick up the couch, we didn’t have dinner until around 9:30pm.  I made myself a stellar bowl of oats:

• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1 scoop protein powder
• 1 banana (melted in the microwave first)
• almond butter
• boysenberry preserves
• flax seeds

And dessert was a banana split sundae made with vanilla ice cream, banana, a crumbled Kashi crunchy bar and caramel syrup.  I may or may not have had a second bowl.

And now my stomach may or may not hurt.  I used up my store-bought ice cream, and think I’m not going to buy anymore for a while.  It’s apparent that I just can’t keep it in the house because I can’t control myself.

Time to hit the hay.  G’night, ya’ll.
