Braggart

Just wanted to throw out there that tonight I made stuffed peppers for dinner and the Chile sauce included an Anaheim chili from our garden.

We also pulled beets from the garden, roasted the roots and cooked the beet greens like Swiss chard. I felt kind of cool....

And just to keep the yin in this yang, etc etc...

I ought to confess I have managed to gain back a bit of the weight I lost earlier this year. I blame summer's obligatory home made ice cream; and I keep making that damn keylime pie (I keep trying to perfect a graham cracker crust from scratch), oh and I continue my love affair with chocolate chip cookies (there's probably a few other things I ought to mention too.)

You'd think I'd be looking 'fit' as I'm training for a marathon and all, but apparently I'm not at the point where I get to eat whatever I want... I feel like that guy from Biggest Loser that gained two pounds training for the marathon last season. Jillian would be going all psychoanalysis on me trying to figure out what happened to make me hold onto this resentment (aka fat cells), and such like...



Maybe I can blame it on my father. :)

Last word - Speaking of my father...

Maybe I shared this before, but the other day my Dad told me he got online to look at my blog and thought 'Why would anyone be interested in this?'

That's a question you'll have to answer for yourself.

Little tears escaped my eyes while giggling at that last comment from Suite! Spencer loves that your dad felt the need to share that with you! Me too, LOL!

St. George! WOW. That is so fantastic. I'm sad to say I am not running this year! Lindsey is though, so you two will have to hook up somewhere...
I wanted to add that I always gain 10 pounds while training for a marathon. Yes, you read that right... 10 freaking pounds. That's one of the reasons I'm taking a break this year. It's just so hard to lose the weight when you're almost 40. So much for running to lose weight! Good thing you're young and spry missy.
Good Luck!
