good morning, good morning
(yes, i know it is no longer morning, and that i switched over to "good afternoon" on all the calls i answer about 45 mintues ago...but whatever. i have taken extra long getting through journals this morning because i actually had work to do! shocker, i know

)
aaaaaanyways
hi denise, amanda, sharon and doe
like a couple of you said, wendie really is working for me, oh yes, yes it is. i love knowing exactly how many points i have for the day, and sticking to it! i am in such a positive mood today, even though it's the day that will never end!
my favorite band (dave matthews band) just released summer tour dates. nothing in the nyc area is released, but i have been promised by a couple of friends who "know people" that they will be announced later (thank goodness, because i was about to have a fit over it!). one of said friends is trying to convince me that i need to go on a dmb trip with him again this year. last year, we did a road trip to charlotte, raleigh, nashville, and atlanta for dmb and had a blast...but this year i jsut can't afford it! i really would love to, but i'll have to see what happens with going back to school, getting a different job, and all that good stuff first. ah, so much to do
so yup, i had a great run this morning! not fast or anything, about my average time, but it felt good. 4.25 miles in 41 minutes. and i think i discovered why my 6 mile run was tough last sunday. it's a mental thing...but here goes. the cd i was listening to was a lot shorter than i originally thought. so i when the cd ended, i thought i was about 45 minutes into my run, but when i checked (i always keep a towel over the timer/distance thing so i can't see it), it was only about 33 minutes in. now, that's a difference of over a mile also. so instead of being almost done at 45 minutes and close to 4.75 miles, i was only about halfway done! so i think that killed me mentally. physical stuff just followed from there. so note to self: either know how long the cd really is, or make sure to have a really long cd in
so on to today! it's a medium points day on wendie. 25 points, plus half aps. 25 + (6/2) = 28.
the whole day is planned out, i've decided that i don't want to drink tonight. even though i'm going out to celebrate with my best friend, i feel like 2 drinks is just pointless. yes, i do just enjoy the taste, but i'd rather just drink plain diet coke or water anyway. better also because i have to get up to work tomorrow, and she does not! there will be others there drinking, so i'll just be the driver.
and i have to tell you, i have a weakness. it's called cadbury cream eggs. these are my favorite things. have i mentioned these before? i feel like i have. anyway, there is one at home with my name on it. 4 points. but definitely fits into my 28 point day

. so i will be having that tonight! probably right before i go out with my friends. they get their alcohol, i get my chocolate
sweet, it's time for me to go home for lunch now. leftovers from last night of salmon and rice. too bad i ate all the asparagus. but i have broccoli in the fridge that i'll have with it. mmm, can't wait.
hope everybody has a great day
