Rainy Monday

Dear diary,

Why won't it stay sunny? It is oh so wonderfully warm, just wish we could have the sunshine to bask in.

In happier news, I was at 163.4 this morning. I was a little underwhelmed because this weight was pre-gym, and I was expecting to see 162 on the scale post-workout, but instead I was 163.6... There are reasons why it went up and not the opposite, but it did take away a little from my regular contained jumping and screaming when I see a pound less :)

I had a great workout yesterday, and was able to run for quite a long stretch before slowing down and doing intervals. I didn't do volunteering on Saturday, but I did quite a bit of walking anyway. I went to see a band play and walked home with my friend, which gave me a good 1 hour walk in addition to walking downtown during the day and around my neighbourhood for groceries.

Yesterday I tried this local cafe/jazz bar that I've been meaning to try for years. I went for brunch with a few friends and it was great. I had French toast with berries and bacon, with a side of potato hash and a cappuccino. I didn't have lunch obviously, so for dinner I made peppered trout with garlic quinoa and various bell peppers.

Breakfast this morning was a smoothie with banana, blue/rasp/strawberry,Greek yogurt (which I am trying for the first time and is deliciosopolous), strawb. yogurt and pomegranate juice. I also had a handful of walnuts. Lunch is looking great also: A sandwich on whole wheat with turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes and tzaziki mmmmmmmmmmmm. I can't wait. I have an apple, kiwi and some chocolate for snacks. Dinner tonight will be veal.

I wanted to write something more interesting today but I am running late for reasons unknown to me, so I have to go. I hope you all had a great weekend and are well rested to deal with getting through this grey, sombre day.
