It feels good to eat good

I have been doing so good at eating better and cooking more. I think I am finally over all my cooking fears. Lets be honest though, cooking for one person totally sucks. Its hard to portion the meals and everything comes with enough for 2 people. Yea, leftovers are cool, but I am not a leftovers fan. I think a lot of it has to do with the stores I've been shopping at, Sprouts and Fresh and Easy being my favorites. I used to go to Trader Joe's all the time but now it is a little out of my way. Sprouts has the best produce and Fresh and Easy is cheap and has good meats and discount section. I recently bought a steamer, some olive oil and vinagrette, spices, and other little things I needed. I've managed to get over a lot of my fears by cooking with friends. My boss Christa is always there when I have a stupid question and she gives me good advice. Jelena and Derek have been fun to cook with and learn from. I've grown so much over the past few months. Yea for eating and cooking better!
I've also been keeping my running and workout routine too. I logged 9 miles this week, all in 3 mile intervals. I also got Jelena running with me! She's been powerwalking 2-2.5 miles and I got her to jog all 9 miles with me this week. She is so motivated and thankful to have me as a running partner. It feels so good to get someone motivated and out there running with me. I love it!
I spent most of the weekend laying low playing Wii. I have a crazy concert week this week and sadly, my coworkerd had to have galbladder surgery on Friday so I have to pick up his job for the next week. Blah. Tuesday is a big concert night. I think I will dedicate a blog to it later. I get to FINALLY see Modest Mouse! Ahhh. I can't wait. Another thing I set out down here to do!!! More on that later.
I've logged about 20 hours total in this stupid Wii game called My Sims. It is so much fun. You build a city, plant trees, make stuff, and explore. I am totally addicted. Really! I am going to get an hour in before Halogen.

Stinkin game. Haha. I can't get enough. Seriously, I gotta go play!
Later. <3
