Sleep. Wake.
As always, after a visit to the family home, my sleep cycle is all awry. During the day, I feel as though I haven't so much as put my head to a pillow for months. At night, I lie awake feeling hot and cursing the dog lying heavily across my legs.

Today's weight: 133 pounds. Yesterday's weight: same. I feel all soft and chunky. Yesterday's exercise consisted of a thirty-minute Pilates video (morning), and fifteen minutes on the step-thing (evening). This morning, went for a run of ten klicks or so. I was not in a running mood; sore, achy and heavy-feeling. Still, I did it. A. came with me for Part One, then took off for an extra loop. I felt guilty for not joining him, but needed the time to get ready.

The freshly-installed faucets on the upstairs bath went boom! so we are temporarily bathless. Had to shower at work, for one thing, and prep the usual foods. Eaten today:
one, a cup of mixed Kashi Crunch and Fibre One, with protein shake; nectarine; green tea.

two, egg sandwich made of 1/3 cup egg white, one egg, fat-free cheez slice, slice of sham, 2 pieces Ezekiel bread. Coffee. Oh, coffee. Either I need to sleep more, or the coffee-maker will come out of its retirement in the basement.

three, same salad I've been eating the last few days -- Romaine, grape tomatoes, with the bean/chicken concoction on top. Another nectarine.

After that, sorta open. I've got a meeting tonight (blech), and should do abs some time this afternoon.

Yesterday's eating -- let's see if I can recall.
one, 1/2 cup egg white, egg, chives, with That Sauce on top; slice pumpernickel cut neatly in three, with, respectively: tablespoon apricot spread, teaspoon almond butter, tablespoon cook cheese a-top.

two, 1/4 cup 8-grain cereal (cooked) with dried apples and sugar-free caramel syrup (must make trip to Toronto soon for replenishment of syrup supply); protein shake.

three, salad concoction; last of fancy sugar-free yogourt dessert things (cookies and cream flavour, not so nice as creme brulee).

four, cinnamon-raisin oatcake with Quark/Jello pudding/Cool Whip goop on top. Quite a lot of pickles. (I bought two jars of my mother's favourite pickles on my way out of town, since last I heard, she couldn't get them at her usual spot. Turned out they'd reappeared -- which meant I could bring mine back with me. I'm uncommonly fond of them, myself.)

five, 75g can smoked tuna, Pindjur, cook cheese, on top of slice and a half of pumpernickel; broccoli with teriyaki sauce; piece of A.'s vegetarian sushi. Square of new kind of Belgian chocolate I spotted at Fancy Deli: 70% cocoa solid, brand called Isis. Not so hot; lacked subtlety. Got the bitter, got the sugar, nothing else. I don't particularly care for any of the "flavour notes" of the various Valrhonas (for instance) that I have tried, but admit that they did get me looking for them in other chocolates.

six, protein powder mixed with Jello pudding powder, soymilk, coconut extract, and Cool Whip, turned into very fancy affair with half a banana (sliced), 2 crumbled toasted-coconut meringue cookies, couple spoonfuls vanilla ice cream.
