Too-much-info?

Friday just wasn't my day. I ate lots of chocolate cake. I ate lots of kettle-cooked chips. I slept on a recliner in the boyfriend's office while he was putting on stains on some furniture. I didn't want to go home and be alone. I was PMSing big time. I was needy like a 2-year-old.

I had two bad dreams. It was wild. I dreamed about two family members dying and I wasn't there. How many people must die before my night is over? It was 8 a.m.; I woke up and head home and slept some more.

And so I started! Yay! I am not PMSing anymore. I kicked the "P" out and have "MS" now.

Finally, I got my beeeee-hind out of bed and head to the Y.  Better be late than never.  It was all right. I ran and ran. Slowly. Last night's pigging out on chips and cake definitely put a toll on my body. But hey, at least I am on the treadmill today. It wasn't bad. It wasn't fantastic. But it is done.

And I'm feeling good. Way better.

July's target was to run 60 miles.  I ran a total of 65 miles. Not too shabby since it was quite a hot month and I have been running indoors.  It can be done. It's all in the attitude.
Proud of my 65 miles - the most miles logged since January.
I love charts and graphs. It helps me see all the progress I have made. 

I am a Facebook lover. I love how photo sharing is so easy. And I love my cousin K to death today. Cousin K is a typical teenage dude, trying to be cool at 15 or 16 years old. But I know he loves me because he is the only cousin who asks his folks to come pick me up and send me off at the airport whenever I am going back to Singapore/leaving Singapore. Today, in my sleep on my bed, he tagged me for some pictures. Since the Internet is down at the house, I had to wait to get to the boyfriend's office to check it. 

And I saw pictures of my mom and dad. It's my dad's birthday today (or yesterday in Singapore's time). It brought tears to my eyes because I hate to miss all these special days with my family. Happy Birthday, Dad! And I miss my family SO much.  (oops. Looks like I am "P"erpetual MSing).

I miss my family.

  1. I can't imagine having family clear across the big pond - I hope you get to see them soon! I'm on FB if you want to "friend" me :) (Jill Andre Parker). Glad you knocked that P away...you're going to feel so much better when you get your run in, no matter what :).

  4. Wahoo! Lots of positives here! Great job kicking it in gear and on exceeding your monthly miles goal. Congrats! I love facebook too, it's how I keep in touch with my family. I don't live near any family at all, just hubby and my kids. And hey, is that a dailymile picture? Can I friend you somehow? I'm loving dailymile!
