Walking

Today, it was my definition of perfect running weather. Cool and a little damp.

I walked instead, twice, as I was with first a friend and then one of my daughters.

We were using up Groupons before they expired.

I don't often get to go on errands with a female friend anymore. It's always fun. I popped into a fitness store and found a lovely running skirt for her, which she told me there was no way she'd wear. Wait a minute -- *I'll* wear those, I told her. She said that my legs are thinner than hers.

Whatever.

I'm so sick of that kind of stuff, from myself and -- even more so, of course -- from other people.

I told her I like being older, as I have so much more confidence, even more body confidence than I did when I was younger and had a much more lovely body.

She says that's because I'm married. If I were single, I'd be just as paranoid.

Maybe.

Cleared to run

I had a minor little health issue this week.

Because of it, I felt like running, but Paul was not too happy about the idea.

But yesterday, I went to the doctor, and he gave me the go-ahead.

Yumminess

Some of my favorite meals lately.

A breakfast of Greek yogurt, blackberries and strawberries -- and a couple of eggs.

I've also been eating a lot of salmon, usually with capers and mustard.

I'm 100 percent off coffee again. I had backslid in a big way, but I'm back on the wagon. I'm going to need to slow down a bit. Coffee with milk was a too-easy way to get protein on the go.
