Day 13

It rained! It rained! The insane heat is over! It was 80 something degrees today! Not only was it better for my exercise, but it drastically improved my mood (just ask E... I was getting really unpleasant to be around).

So, my dad sent me a box in November. I was pretty homesick and it was almost Thanksgiving, so he sent me a box of my favorite snacks that I don't have here. Things like peanut butter, jelly (there is jelly here), candy bars, brownie mix, chocolate chips, stuff to make rice crispy treats, rice crispy treats, pop tarts... it was a HUGE box. Well, it didn't come and didn't come and didn't come. Two boxes were sent after that one and both were received. This one wasn't. We were sure it was lost. Well, today, 51 business days after it was sent, it arrived. Yeah, so I have a box of junk food. This should be SUPER interesting. This is like the biggest test of my willpower, ever.

Breakfast:
A piece of bread with butter
Apple

Lunch:
Grilled cheese sandwich (yep, E was home by lunchtime)

Snack:
Another 1/2 of a loaf of cuca (I know! And this was right before the box came... *sigh*). It's 4 slices. Excessive... I know.

Supper:
The veggie thing I make... onion, ground beef, potatoes, carrots, and broccoli, all cooked together to deliciousness.

Snack:
2 bites of a rice crispy treat
Apple

Water:
2 liters

Exercise:
Ran 3 miles
30 Day Shred Level 2, Day 3

Again with the carbs! Ugh!

Last time I ran I didn't do so great. I walked twice for a little ways and was really disappointed with myself. E assured me it was because it was so hot out... that it's much more difficult to run in the extreme heat. Well, today was gorgeous and the run... cake! Seriously, it was actually EASY. I can't even really be proud because there wasn't much pushing myself. It's fun though! If it stays this easy, in a couple more times I'm going to either increase the distance or start timing myself and trying to improve that. I'll have to google which is better.
