Year 2, Day 54: Gym Come Quickly

Today was sort of rainy and therefore my plan to be outside and be fit was somewhat ruined. In addition, I went totally off the rails with my insane and inexplicable desire to bake blueberry muffins. When you have kids, sometimes you just get that kind of crazy idea. Ruby did have a good time making them with me, though they tasted terrible. I had to eat a few of them to make sure I understood what they tasted like. It wasn't bad, just not sweet and muffin-y, more dry and biscuit-y. Size-wize, they were really mini-muffins, and they were made with whole wheat flour, but a muffin's a muffin, and I must confess, I had three of them. Not great.

etc.
1 organic kids hunka chunka chocolate chip cookie

Then, on our way back from a trip to Toys 'R' Us, I realized I hadn't eaten and I was alone in the car with only a bag of cheddar goldfish. Surprisingly, they are very low in carbs and have no High Fructose Corn Syrup or Partially Hydrogenated Oils in them, which is good, because they are staple food for a majority of the United States population in the 1.5-3.5 year old range. Counting out 55 of them (1 serving) I sadly consumed them in my never-ending quest to keep my blood sugar leveled out. After a reasonable dinner, the baby began her practice of opening the cabinet, grabbing something that makes a crinkle-noise and brining it to me. This time it was a bag of organic (frookie) double chocolate chip cookies. I thought baby might like one—no, she spit it out. I offered it to Ruby—she didn't like it either. Fate decreed I had to try this double-chocolate chip cookie that neither of my daughters (who love sugar AND chocolate) would not eat. I liked it. But all I could think is "I must get to the gym tomorrow—and stay there all day."
