The 17 Day Diet-Day 6

What a day, what a day. Alright so breakfast! I reverted back to my strawberries and cottage cheese routine, using up the last small, soggy strawberries left in the bin. Not TOO yummy, but hey, girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And yes, that means eat soggy strawberries. Tragic. Then I did something crazy. I. Went. Outside. And. Jogged. *Insert dramatic reveal music here* See, with me, I have to do it all in impulse. Like this diet, or this blog! All I decided to do on impulse. Of course there's always an underlying reason for my impulsion (blog-boredom and a place to just ponder, diet-revenge and self-confidence) So, i just decided to go out today and run. Didn't matter what time it was or anything, just put on some shorts and a tank and grabbed my dog, Whipped Cream. First of all, it was like 1:40 in the afternoon, so I was immediately blinded when I went outside. And it was pretty hot. It was hilarious because after some brisk walking and a few minutes of jogging, Creamy got tired. I jogged back home while carrying her and just left her inside, where my mom told me she just laid on the tiles and slept for a bit. Aww, poor baby. Hey, she's only a Maltese and she's getting old, gonna turn 4 in December. Anyhoo, I was pretty tired, too, but  itold myself I had to be out there for at least 30 minutes, walking or jogging. I put on Pandora and listened to some 70's rock. Then Journey's Don't Stop Believing came on! Perfect! I started fist pumping epically, think a few people might have seen me, and timed my jogging to match the "Don't stop, believing!" part. I felt pretty epic. Then Megan texted me to tell me that her initial 17 days are up! She can eat bread now! LET THE HALLELUJAH CHORUS SING! She told me it's only whole wheat, obviously, and that she won't really go crazy with it. The next 2 weeks will be maintenance just to keep off the weight, then she can eat like a normal person again! But her portions will be smaller so she won't turn into a Mcdonald's spokesperson once she's off the diet. So, after I got home from that 184-calorie-burning task, I got to eat some homemade yummy-ness. My mom made that delicious lemon marinated chicken breast I love so much and some damn good lentil bean soup. I had two bowls of the soup, it was so good and I needed the calories. Then I got to FINALLY watch The Help. I have the audio book and I love it, so I was so excited to see it. It's even cooler because one of the women who does the voice for the character of Minny on the audio book plays her in the movie! But, man, the smell of popcorn was almost too much. Still, I made it through and got home starving. I had a huge serving of the chicken breast with some herbal tea. Then a cup of that almond milk with honey. It was MM MM good!
