High impact workout to start the day, brunch with a friend, drove all over the Valley to look for Seussical required socks (still no luck. searching again Friday), then Magnet Parent Meeting tonight at Trevor's school.
In between all that, I went to a Weight Watchers store in search of some new (new to me) snacks. Well, I wasn't too impressed with the selection (majority has dairy :-( ), but I did buy a new cookbook from them and a new PointsPlus calculator. I had all my goodies (no mom, Elizabeth and Jenny...not "those goodies" lmbo!) in hand and walking up to the counter to only discover this solid, massive looking, black square. I started to laugh and told the cashier that they were killing me with this freaking scale that you COULDN'T avoid stepping on in order to pay...I WAS TOTALLY SET UP!!! lol I started making excuses (good ones in my opinion) like I just ate, it's mid day so of course I'm going to be heavier, etc. The lady just kept looking at me. I said fine. Took off my shoes, threw down my purse, and stepped on the dreadful black massive square. Naturally, the scale didn't work the first time so as if stepping on it 1x wasn't hard enough, I had to step off and then step back on again! Dang! After the machine thought a minute if it liked me or not, my "#'s" showed up on the digital screen. I was quite pleased with my #'s...especially since I just ate and it was mid day. ;-) With my work schedule change, I can only get in a workout 3x a week which is nothing compared to when I was training for my half. So all in all, I'm happy with the black square for now.
A discovery I made this afternoon was a confirmation that I am in fact, intolerant to peanuts (in any form). I get the WORST stomachache, extremely bloated and a rapid heart rate when I eat it/them. I have had my suspicions for a few months now, but this afternoon I have made it official in my book. I am finding more and more lately that I am allergic or intolerant to many ingredients! My next food intolerant testing on myself will be all the preservatives that exist. I am VERY allergic to MSG, I already know I have issues with Sweet 'n Low, so now I need to break down all those other gross ingredients to figure out my massive headaches I get within 20 min of eating or drinking something with that stuff in it. The problem is, most healthy alternative foods (cereal bars, drinks, sugar-free items, etc) have all those ingredients so it doesn't leave me with a whole lot other than fresh fruit and veggies...a girl can only eat so much of that stuff! So we'll see...
I received an exciting e-mail this evening from Trevor's teacher. She said that Trevor is the lead dancer in a dance performance coming up so she wanted to give me advanced notice so I could work my schedule around to watch him. I am super proud of him and very excited to watch him dance! In the spirit of 'keeping it real', Trevor is the lead because the original lead had dropped out. Either way, being 2nd in a group of great kids is pretty impressive in my opinion. :-)
