Status Report

I am not oh-so-very-busy-and-important to feel as tired as I have the last few weeks, but there you go. I'm tired, I'm stressed, I gained two pounds (and then stopped), and I'm still looking for that hour that I supposedly gained last week with the end of daylight savings time.

Through a myriad of things going on, I haven't been as virtuous as I should. I haven't picked up a tennis racket in over a month (I didn't have time to get back into my 8-week league this go around) and though I've made it to the Y several times, it hasn't been anything resembling a regular schedule. For a couple weeks there, the only thing in my fridge to eat was sweet rice (steamed sticky) with garlic chili sauce. Totally nutritionally blank, but I didn't have the time to cook.

This weekend, however, I made an effort. I made and froze a large quantity of pumpkin-pear soup and no-tortillas-were-harmed-in-the-making-of-this soup. So I have good food in the fridge. I made it to the Y on Sunday, went running on Monday, and will do crunches and other conditioning this evening. And I'll be back on track before you know it.
