Jenny’s ( aka raynjen’s) Blog!

so…yesterday was a fun, busy day. started with the turkey trot which went quite well, then home to relax before going over to rays moms house. deep fried turkey, potatoes, gravy, cornbread and pie were good. then home for a couple hours before heading to my aunts house for roasted turkey, potatoes, gravy, rolls and again pie. yummy. followed by games of scattegories and hearts. fun was had by all.

today hasnt been bad, got up and didnt do much until we went to the movies and saw dan in real life. it was ok, not awesome but not horrible… then just hung around until heading down to moms house for a bbq. we havent eaten yet, but i really thing my body needs some veggies….

ok so work was pretty much dead today, so i got to catch up on some little things and get to some database clean-up, which was good. this morning was pretty busy though, some issues with locks and other things. so at lunch my plan was to go to pick up my shirt from the race tomorrow so i could get my size, then pick up my pies for tomorrow, then got lunch. well….i went to get my shirt, and they were OUT! they said that they were getting more at 3…so off to get my pies i went. took a while, but got them. then went to get a sandwich/salad for lunch. and chips. so then got back to work, began to eat my sandwich, then opened the chips and guess what? they had NO seasoning on them, i guess it was a fluke or something. i didnt want to go back to the store as it was a zoo, and i guess it was a sign i shouldnt be having chips……

my supervisor let me go back to try and get my shirt again, so luckily i was able to get my size. but in seeing the shirt, i cant believe i made so much effort, its a pretty boring shirt. but i am pretty excited about the race tomorrow. and it starts at 9, so it shouldnt be too cold. it was about 45 at this morning, so as long as it gets to about 50 by 9, i will be happy.

ok i guess i should start making dinner now…although we dont know what we’re having yet!

breakfast:
uncle sam w/ff milk

lunch:
grilled chicken sandwich
salad
small slice of pumpkin pie

dinner:
dont know, and must have fruit and some more dairy too…….

pretty exciting, although it took me a while to figure this all out…

work was quite busy this morning, but besides that, things have calmed down and i am pretty much caught up on everything. but now what am i going to do all day tomorrow? i’m sure something will come up, and there is always busywork to be done…

food today:
breakfast:
cottage cheese with splenda and pumpkin pie spice
homemade sf nf chai

lunch:
salad (just veggies-romaine, spinach carrots and edamame)
spaghetti squash with spaghetti squash and ex lean beef
slice of sourdough bread
small slice of pecan pie. very good, and i dont even like pecans usually.

dinner:
grilled chicken breast marinated in italian dressing, soy and worcestershire
some sort of veggie, probably spinach salad
bean soup
ray will probably want rice too….i may or may not have a serving depending on if im full

i also should have some fruit today, and another serving of dairy, probably yogurt. or milk with pb and a banana after dinner as dessert, as i am sure the pie slice took care of my sweet treat…

exercise:
easy 30 min run on the treadmill. there are not many student here this week as it is a holiday week for them, so i think i can get one of the good treadmills. dont want to overdo it when i have the run on thursday morning. i think my knees and shins are still getting used to running again. need to buy some aleve, as i am supposed to be taking it before each run until i can get better. was supposed to buy it at lunch today but it slipped my mind. hopefully i can remember tomorrow. ok i guess that is it for now…i hope the dog didnt eat any more xmas ornaments off our tree today….
