Lately I drink a protein shake for breakfast. It is delicious. The problem is, I'm supposed to use this much peanut butter:

Instead I sometimes use this much:

But it really is delicious and hey, protein...

Since you tagged me awhile ago, here are my eight facts. I am not going to post the rules because I'm breaking most of them:

1. This is the first time in my life that I've had real cleavage.
2. One time I crashed my grandpa's car. I was five. You were there and Katy saved me.
3. I made my first successful roast tonight.
4. I once started writing a book when I was 11 until I realized my plot was a combination of the movies MASK and MY GIRL.
5. I'm a very efficient person.
6. I secretly wanted the Relief Society basket all summer and today I got it.
7. I hate all animals except those found in the ocean.
8. One time I was showing you and Katy how I wiped the counters like on CHEERS and Katy told me I was totally wrong.

Tri update:

Last week I swam, jogged, did a Cindy Crawford workout DVD and walked a lot. I will try to up the jogging this week. I jogged for 20 minutes and it was hard.

Book update:

Ordered Consuming Kids. Will start when it arrives. Finished TWILIGHT and thought how much more I would've enjoyed it 12 years ago.

Baby update:

Lennon is now smiling a lot. And last night I fed him at 3 am and he threw it all up. So we started all over again.

I read the Glass Castle right before I had the baby, so maybe you could read that while I read Consuming Kids? The Glass Castle was fascinating -- I couldn't put it down. So I'd say let's do both.

I swam 30 laps last night. Breaststroke, slow. Tonight no workout because I've decided to attend a ward activity - - Picnic in the Park. Is that a lame excuse? I think it's a pretty good/noble one.

Soon it will be cool enough to run outside when the sun is actually up.

Teachers have to be at work next week. I am so glad that doesn't include me.

I think I'll do the November tri with you so I'll have more time...however, I still don't get how you race in a pool...I need more info.

Have you been swimming?

Oh, and P.S. I haven't had any of this since Sunday...

...or any of these...

...but if I see any that look like this, I may cave in.

What do you think?

Does my butt look big in these?

Just so you know, I've read two chapters of Consuming Kids and there's been a brutal assault on these guys:



If you feel any allegiance to them/want L to love them, you may want to steer clear of this book. I'm just saying . . .

And about the triathlon, I found this training schedule and it looks doable. I'm kind of excited. There's a TURKEY triathlon on November 3rd in Orem. It's a backwards triathlon and you swim in the Orem Rec Center pool at the end and people throw turkey (just the white meat, don't worry) at you when you finish. Would you consider coming and doing that one?

Okay, I walked four miles the last two nights so tonight I will either try to jog the loop OR swim 30 laps. I will report tomorrow. Do you think you'll do this one with me?

And like I mentioned on the phone, I sort of missed the Shug boat so maybe I'll hop on the Consuming Kids one and we can discuss.

And I am nervous to try and jog a real route and don't get mad because it's been six weeks so it's legal and safe and normal now.

And yes, I could have emailed all this to you but I'm not ashamed of any information I post.

My Progress Thus Far

I'm about 20 pages into Shug. It's pretty good . . . we'll see. I also ran 1.8 miles today. But there were two hills. Tomorrow I'm going to run, I don't know, 2.2 miles? We'll see.
AND
I'm going to try out my new GOGGLES I hope. Tonight. Double I hope.

Just to clear things up, ANYONE and EVERYONE is invited to join Holly and me in our reads. We are starting Shug ASAP and I think it'll be good. Or not. But either way, it has a Popsicle on the front. You can comment too . . . if you want to . . . and if you care about reading and running and the welfare of people like Britney Spears.

Also, Holly has been pushing me to start training for a triathlon. I am scared. Very scared. BUT I'm going to at least try. Today I ran. I actually felt pretty good although I didn't go very far. I think the key was I got to bed early. Like 10:14. Seriously. It did my body good. Cam and I looked a swimsuits online. Then Cam measured my bust, waist and thighs to find out my REAl size. Sad. I didn't order a suit.
I also need goggles, a swim cap, and the guts to actually do this.
