it has been FOREVER since i've posted a blog entry. okay, well, not forever ... R E A L L Y. surely i can have a bit of hyperbole on a rainy monday. :) i mean to do better, but it just doesn't work out so much.

favorites ---

* if y'all have a kroger, you MUST try their carbmaster and/or their lite yogurt. it's my go-to snack fix --- for only 80 calories, no matter which version, and 4 to 10 carbs? cannot. be. compared.

* another favorite? emerald coast cocoa almonds. YUMMY!! nuts are a good sourse of fat and all other kinds of good stuff (i hope i didn't lose you with the technical terms there!)

* also a huge fan of steamed broccoli and carrots and turnips and cauliflower --- okay --- you get it --- i love the steamed veggies!

not a fan? of having to spend thanksgiving with people i cannot stand --- more on this later --- i'm still fuming!

not a fan of not being able to run --- it has been two weeks today since i've been able to run. i have another appointment with my fav runner doctor on wednesday morning. hopefully, he'll be able to offer up something new for me to try. i've already paid for the mardi gras marathon on february 28, and i'm losing valuable training time right now.

not a fan of colonoscopies -- and i have one on friday. actually? i don't really mind the procedure because i'm out for it, but the prep is awful! i hate the clear liquid diet the day before, not to mention the yucky stuff you have to drink.

not a fan of the dentist, --- i have an appointment next week for that. however, i have a new dentist, and i'm hopeful that it will work out okay.
