I was going to get up and do some elliptical before my p90x stretch video, but I stayed in bed instead.  Was going to run with Wyatt this afternoon, but she's getting sick and won't run in the cold (imagine that, not wanting to sacrifice her health for my needs!!) so I'm going to have to go solo.

Too much junk & crap going into the belly today, just not having a "strong" day on the battle of the healthy diet front.  I'm tempted to go home and eat those cheetos I've got hidden away in my treasure chest (bottom dresser drawer).  Maybe I should wait till after the run?

-----------------------

Well, I avoided Cheetos and just went for the run.  Had to stretch out after 1 mile, and when I'd finished stretching, I realized that I'd been standing in a pile of fire ants and they were all over my foot and leg.  I screamed out for help, tried to get them off my skin, and MR took my shoe and beat it silly till it was ant-free.  I've got 3 small bumps and one nice yellow welt forming on my leg now.  I hate those stupid ants.  Our local Hockey team is called the "Fireants," and they're horrible and cant' do anything right.  Why can't the real ants be as useless and ineffective?

My Garmin seems to be ready to give up the GPS ghost.  It shut itself off 5 different times during my run yesterday.  I'm hoping to get a new one soon, but I want to get a good one.  Any suggestions?

Cheetos, the fuel of champions.

cheetos? if you're gonna go for it, do it in style with a donut or ice cream full fat sundae. In the face of good stuff cheetos are weak sauce! :)

I hope either way you're feeling better now - with or without the run and/or cheetos.

Sounds like another day of candy land :)

That gumdrop guy always scared me.

Stupid ants!
