I should mention that Olivia, the baby in the picture from yesterday, is not my daughter.  I just nanny for her and her brothers every week.  I call her “my baby” cause she is my baby that I watch.  I also call her “the cutest baby in the whole world”  because she is!

I’m thinking that since my half marathon is on May 9th, and I was planning on making April “Eat No Meat” month, that I would just extend it to May 9th.  I will try to do a whole body cleanse of all bad things, so I will also be removing diet soda.  I was thinking that I would also not drink any alcohol, but I don’t drink a lot of alcohol, so I don’t really think that is a problem.  And if I want to drink the occasional half glass of red wine at Niles’ house for Lost, then I think that’s ok.

April 1 through May 9th   - No meat (fish is ok, I’ll be a pescetarian), and no diet soda or other diet drinks.

The only thing I’m concerned about is my weekly Monday night class, where I have to bring my dinner.  I’ve been bringing a ham sandwich because it’s easy to transport, and doesn’t need to be heated up.  What could I bring instead?  I like peanut butter and jelly, but I’m not sure if I’d want that.  Megan, I also don’t want any suggestions for “a cheese sandwich.”  I know they may be delicious, but I think I would like more substance than that.  For a usual night in class I bring:  a ham sandwich loaded with lettuce, yogurt with fresh fruit, a spinach salad, carrots and other vegetables to snack on, and an apple and an orange.  I eat a lot of food, yes.  I love to eat.  I was thinking a eggplant parmesan sandwich… but it’d be best warm.  Any thoughts?  I guess I could have tuna, because that’s fish.

I got a blister on my hip yesterday from running with my iPhone holster.  Today I’ll have to switch what side it’s on while I run.  I run with lots of gadgets: my iPhone, my pedometer, and my iPod shuffle.  Larry says that at least it makes me look important!

Niles is helping me pick up trash today at 2pm!  I am going to drag along with me a trash can on wheels for all of the material that can be recycled.
