I’m going to have to keep it short, but I wanted to get in an entry in before I ran off to bed. I really should be soaking my nose piercing, because I didn’t do it this morning, but I’m feeling all lazy 
I think I’ll just wash it instead and soak tomorrow.
I’m feeling super sleepy today, even though I went to bed early yesterday. Maybe if I work out tomorrow, I won’t be so lethargic. Or maybe my iron is low… Who knows? I just watched the “National Body Challenge” show from either last week or the week before (thanks to TiVo, I have no idea when these shows were recorded - I don’t pay attention anymore). Anyways, it was about people who had lost weight and kept it off, and one was this guy who lost 270lbs in a year. Can you imagine?! So he did it on a liquid protein diet made of shakes from fruit and protein powder. I’d love to have something like that for breakfast, because I usually just end up having chocolate milk or yogurt with fruit anyways. I just don’t seem to have (or make) the time to sit down for a morning meal. Unfortunately, I tried making a smoothy with an unflavored protein shake mix and I literally threw up in my own mouth. It was SO disgusting. I can handle the chocolate flavored ones, but the unflavored was so barfy. Maybe I’ll pick up a vanilla flavored one to try instead.
On the show, they also profiled a lady who used to be big and fat and now she is a marathoner and a triathelete. That’s what I want to do, and I was never big and fat, so I really feel like I should get moving on training! I’m still a little hesitant to run alone, because I’m a worry wart. I think I’ll feel better if I run with my pepper spray, but I still just want to be cautious. I need to rent a dog or something, haha. I’m trying to talk Joe into running with me, but so far that’s been a hard sell. I joined a ladies’ running group here in town, but I’m afraid that I’m way too slow and inexperienced for them. They run like 8 minute miles, and I’m more in the 10+ minute range, especially with all of the hills around here. Oh well, I know it’ll work out…
Well, I’m going to head up to bed. Its only 9:30, but my body feels like its midnight! Good night everyone
