yesterday

I subbed yesterday. I asked a little girl if she had had a good weekend. Remember yesterday was Monday. "Oh yeah," she came back without missing a beat. "Mom made banana bread."

Yesterday was a nice enough day to walk outside. I totaled my usual four miles and lifted weights at the Y. Today it is just plain cold and blustery. I walked the dog; that's enough for me. I may venture downstairs to my treadmill later or maybe spend the afternoon snuggled up reading. Last week I finished French Women Don't Get Facelifts by Mireille Guiliano in book form. I am currently reading The Reason I Jump by Naoki Higashida and The Happy Life Checklist by Amy Spencer on the Ipad.

remarkable toe

I have an ugly toe, actually it's the nail on top; all purple and thick. Disgusting. Since I have OCDs about my feet I do my own pedis and usually keep bright polish on them. Yesterday I took the polish off and noticed that a healthy looking flesh colored nail was growing underneath and pushing the ugly one out. Sort of like a metamorphosis, a toenail metamorphosis. You can bet that I'm going to become very careful about my toenails from now on. I think the purple toe was the result of being run over by a wheelchair kid a while ago.

don't do it well

I don't do sick well. I don't mean to be confusing but for the past week I have been under the weather so to speak. I feel guilty for not even stepping on my downstairs treadmill much less racking up any mileage outside or at the Y. The weather here has been subzero and also a reason for me to stay inside and hibernate but that might come to an end today. I definitely feel healthy enough to make my way to either the little mall or the indoor track at the Y for some walking. Wish me luck!

test

I ran this as a test to see if  I actually could post a pic. I guess it is now working. By the way, this is a parm salad I am crazy about.

worked up a sweat

walking at the little mall. I haven't done that in a long, long time. It was easy to get my three miles in. It is not a busy mall but I still had to do some dodging around people, mamas with strollers and such. The very chilly wind prevented me from walking outside. I did my fourth mile indoors at the Y before I lifted weights. I am totally amazing!!

sunday walk

Despite it being rather soggy because of the melting snow I walked my usual three miles outside today. The weather was spring like and it didn't take me long to get my miles in. I also walked/ran one mile indoors at the Y before I lifted weights. For December I have lifted the equivalent of eleven elephants. Love that! School has started up again and I have subbed two days already. I always make a point to stand as much as possible when I sub. In fact, I don't usually sit down during the day unless I am eating lunch. I am having some trouble posting pics to this blog so if you don't see one assume that I am still working on this problem. Other than that, life is good!
