AUGH

Posted by Carrie on 21 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Fitness and Health

Everybody, please stop talking about (yummy, delicious, often with accompanying photographs) FOOD! I gobbled down that plain broth an hour ago, and I cannot believe I now have to wait until probably 10 AM tomorrow to have anything else.
And magnesium citrate is the most disgusting thing ever. Bubbling, fizzing yuck that […]

In hindsight, possibly a dumb move

Posted by Carrie on 21 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Fitness and Health

I think I may have used up my entire daily allotment of energy on this morning’s run. No more coming. It’s not even 9AM, and I’m about to fall asleep in my chair.
But the run was better than I really expected it to be. I went out to the […]

RAWR HUNGRY!!!

Ahem.
Eric is an awesome, awesome husband, and he has done his best to make today’s prep better. He turned my white bread into nearly fat-free croutons, cooked my clear broth with vegetables (strained out) and seasonings to make it yummy, and baked me some flounder with spices so that it was […]

The prep begins

Lessee.
You must avoid: Vegetables, fruits, nuts, butter, milk, all dairy products, fried foods, whole grains, pork, beef, lamb.
Great. So, what can I eat today?
BREAKFAST: Toasted white bread, boiled eggs, clear fruit juice, black coffee or tea.
Sounds satisfying. I actually felt bizarrely furtive about buying white bread yesterday, like people would stare. […]

Runners: Open Thread

Posted by Carrie on 19 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Fitness and Health

Well, it lightened up with the rain by around 8, so I went out. Wasn’t going to miss my 10-mile, especially since I don’t know what the prep for Tuesday’s barium test is going to do to my ability to run over the next few days. (Eric says a smart […]

Bummer

Posted by Carrie on 19 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Fitness and Health

It’s raining out there. Call me a heretic if you want, but I do not enjoy running in the rain. A light sprinkle that comes in the middle of the run, when I’m hot and sweaty and could use cooling off? Sure. Deliberately going out into falling water and getting cold […]

No respect at all

Posted by Carrie on 18 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Gabriel, Pictures and movies, Samuel

According to the stylings of Gabe, I’m a dead ringer for Bozo the Clown. And how come I, the runner, am the only member of the family not to rate having legs? Well, at least I got eyebrows; nobody else did. Sam was sympathetic, if amused, when I showed him […]

Good advice

Mostly for me, but if anybody else can get anything from it, go for it.
