my dog wont bite

i was dissapointed to feel just as tired as usual when i got off work this evening.  i was really hoping that eating well and drinking lots of water all day would be the answer.  it wasn't.  i was really looking forward to a trail run, but i just didn't have the energy.  so when i got home and my sister suggested the pool, i thought why not? 

i laid around for while, reading a magazine, dozing a little bit here and there.  then mere decided she wanted to play pool games.  with the 8-12 year olds in the pool.  she dove in and once again i thought, why not?  so i did, too.  we played colors and marco polo until i couldn't take it anymore and had to come home for dinner.  it was seriously like being a kid again, awww, mom do i hafta?  except i'm the mom.  weird.  i didn't go running but i played in the pool for a good hour.  not bad.

does anyone remember inky pinky ponky?  bubble gum bubble gum in a dish?  engine engine number 9?

i had so much fun.

anyway, i did really well eating today and i never felt hungry.  i still craved junk food and unfortunately fell prey to a few of my sisters french fries sitting on the counter.  but i only had a few.

so, more about the rainbow diet i have come up with. it's simple really.  eat all the colors of the rainbow, with only a few browns and whites thrown in.  shopping by color was really fun.  i will post later this week on how much i spent for a work weeks worth of groceries.  even if you are on a budget, you can afford fresh fruit and veggies.  you'll notice meat is absent.  i don't really like it all that much and i always feel bloated after i eat it so i'm saving it for special occasions.

breakfast:  1 c. kashi heart to heart cereal (really good!), 1/2 c. blueberries, 1 c. ff milk = a brown, a blue and a white.
