Be Here Now

I have experienced a couple of surprises lately...

One being that my weight wasn't down after coming home from the cottage. What up with that? I had figured out that in two days at the cottage I had walked/run like 9km. That's pretty freaking awesome and I think it deserved at least a 1lb loss. Bloody hell. Ended up being more like a 1lb gain. I didn't even see that one coming and honestly felt a little betrayed by my body. Okay my last day at the cottage was a lazy one with a little more food than usual, but jeez, I'm not going to be perfect everyday.

Anyhoo, I played two games of softball on Sunday - only pitched 1 of the games (captain apparently is deciding between us who will be the main pitcher - frankly either way is fine with me). When I was pitching I heard a guy on the other team say something like 'now we have a cute pitcher to look at'. He's a flirty guy with everyone, but it was great to overhear considering my concerns last post.

After my games on Sunday I drove to my hometown to pick up my friend who is secretly home from China for the next week! She was here until this morning and we had a good, but pretty tame time. Shitloads of shopping yesterday and surprisingly not nearly as much eating as we normally would do. Between the two of us, we usually find everything to eat - cake, bagels, chicken wings, pizza bagels etc. etc. We ended up eating bagels for breakfast, some popcorn during some movie watching (apparently it's different in China) and then dinner later on in the evening. I ate too much at dinner, but I did manage to restrain myself a very little bit - like by not eating all my bread or pasta, and leaving on my plate like one whole bite of my cheesecake (and I shared too!). Progress people!

Well, I am alone once again, and we'll see what can do with this bloody weight.
