- If you know me well at all, you know I'm a bit of a klutz (in fact, I believe I detailed a bad fall while running a few months back.) I feel like I'm always tripping over something or bumping some body part on something sharp. I mean, I was once asked by my doctor if I "felt safe in my relationship" because I had so many bruises on me during a 'well woman' exam (side note: I'm glad my doctor was compassionate and direct.) I had to explain that I was just accident prone (also? it turns out I'm anemic and should be taking an iron supplement, but they tend to upset my stomach, so I stay away.) Anyway, I got a wicked craving for a midnight snack the other night and tripped going back down stairs. I'm not even sure how it happened. I was just casually walking down one minute and the next thing I knew I was flat on my ass/back (as flat as you can be on a staircase.) It hurt. Like a bitch. Consequently, my left ass check is black, blue and purple and it hurts to sit...or stand.
- Thanks to my fun incident on Saturday, I can't really run or work out. I mean, I'm sure I could probably do some weights or hop on the elliptical, but I don't start training for the half marathon for another month and marathon training for my full won't start until June. I'm probably going to take the next week off just to heal and recover so that I can dive back in this weekend (is it weird that I feel my bruises jiggle when I walk?)
- I bought lunch today for the first time in two weeks. I don't have any excuses. I packed a lunch...I just didn't feel like eating it. I've been tired, sore and crabby since my fall and I just really wanted a Roast Beef Hotte 88 from South Coast Deli. Now that it's winter break, it's the perfect time to frequent eateries in Isla Vista that are normally too crowded to hit up at lunch....so I figured why not? I feel guilty for spending money (I mean, money wasn't an issue, but since I'm tracking everything and trying to behave) but it was SO GOOD and exactly what I wanted. I ended up eating half for lunch and half for dinner...so nothing went to waste (though, it probably did go to my waist.)
- The most shameful part of the sandwich ordeal? The fact that I drove the 3/4 of a mile each way to get it. SHAMEFUL!!! I have no excuses other than the fact that I was already sore and had another five hours of work left. I'm normally a huge fan of parking far away/walking when possible, etc, but I decided to pick my battles today.
- I have yet to start Christmas shopping. I'll probably complete 95% of it on Amazon tomorrow. Thank goodness I only have a few people to shop for and thank God for Amazon Prime. Also? I didn't order my gifts until 12/21 last year, so I'm like a whole week ahead. Good times. There's only one person on my short list that I'm struggling with. I know that they would be happy with just about anything, but I'd like for it to be something other than "here's a piece of plastic to show you how much I care."
- Despite being sore/injured, I was able to do a bit of baking the other day. I'm especially proud of my s'mores bars. They are sweet as heck and there's nothing healthy about them, but they are so good. I regret nothing!
- Can't believe we are halfway through December. This month, and really, the whole year flew by. I'm kind of sad it's over...and I'm not looking forward to the big 3-4 in February, but I am excited to see what 2016 holds...I'm especially excited to attempt another marathon. I almost can't wait for next October. Almost.
- I'm also really excited to spend the next few weeks relaxing, organizing and clearing out my pantry/freezer. Weird stuff to be excited about, I know. I even have a special trip planned to 'the mothership' (The Container Store) to get a few supplies to round out what I already have. Only three more days of work until I'm sort-of free (I'll be working from home, so it's not a complete vacation.)
And, on that note, it's time to get ready for bed. Peace out, bros!
