stop the world because....

....i EXERCISED yesterday. really and truly! you'd think with no job since august i'd have made plenty of time for burning calories even if i didn't do the eating right thing. alas, all i did was spend two months hopping from coffee shop to coffee shop with my laptop wasting time on teh internets. then i gave away or sold almost everthing i owned and moved - across the country. and just this week i finally got a real job offer. and yesterday was the first day i felt like getting off my dimpled ass and getting my heart rate up for a reason other than the fact that i have no money.

i went for a 20 minute run*/walk. here's the breakdown:
4:00 - walk
2:00 - run
2:00 - walk
2:00 - run
2:00 - walk
2:00 - run
2:00 - walk
1:00 - run
3:00 - walk

it wasn't bad at all. actually it was fun. even though i was tired during the last two 2:00 run cycles, i could keep going becuase dude, it's only 2 minutes. and i think i could do that exactly workout any day - even when i work up to being able to actually run i could use this a light workout. except for maybe today when it randomly SLEETED here. ok it's not that random here, on the east coast. but i'm still used to sunny california.

i was worried about my foot since i technically still have plantar fasciitis. and in fact my foot, ankle and knee felt a little wierd after the run. but then this AM and today they haven't hurt much more. i think in the end i'll have to find a gym so i can do something a little less impact, but still it's all good i think.

also i have made a few good eating choices. i've been eating out a lot since i don't really have a place to cook (although i totally can where i'm staying now i don't often do it). for the past two weeks though i haven't gotten french fries when that was an option. instead i got a salad with fat free dressing a few times and fruit once. hooray!
