April 24

I did some arm workouts in the morning, of the pushup variety, then after breakfast I did a tempo run with a 1.3 mile warm up, 1 mile fastish, 3 minutes slow, 1m fastish, 3 min slow, 800m faster, 3 min slow, 800m faster, slow all the way back. My garmin died in the middle so I'm not exactly sure how fast it was, but it was 6.2 miles. I felt really slow and it was more effort than usual.

This is what I ate:

I ended up cooking lunch because Gritta didn't come home, so I made fried rice which I'd never made before. Chicken and rice was on the menu but I'm not about to cook meat, even though I'm technically still a fake vegetarian. In the afternoon, Marina, the housekeeper and amazing human being that is super pregnant, came over, and I made cupcakes. Gritta had made some over the weekend and tried to make frosting, but put lemon juice instead of lemon peel in, so of course it turned all runny. So I had a mixture of butter, powdered sugar, frischkäse, and lemon juice to work with. I added some spelt flour, which was a little too much so then some soy milk, then egg yolks. I whipped up the eggwhites and folded them in, and in some of them I mixed in a few leftover thawed raspberries from dessert last week. They didn't stay pink when they baked like I'd hoped, but they still tasted good. And Rachel had a craving for coffee, but there was no milk, so she went to the hofladen and got us 2 vanilla milks. They're soooo good, especially with coffee, but really not that good for you. I had a whole one. I still ate some of the twins' leftover oatmeal/cereal mixture thing, and one of Henny's many chocolates (I need to stop that, but she just has so many), but I was good about not eating dinner when I was still full. After the kids were in bed, we sat out in the back and drank wine and talked for a while. We stayed up too late and it got cold, but it was nice.

Goals for tomorrow:

-don't eat from the twins

-don't eat lots of snacks in the afternoon
