Thanks guys.
My hiking got cancelled tomorrow, it's a bit cold for hiking right now, plus something else came up for the friend I was going with.
Didn't sleep in much today surprisingly (got woken up by a text and couldn't fall back asleep.
I went to the gym and went on the treadmill. I really thought that I would be doing maybe 2-3 min run intervals because I really have not ran in a long time. But I guess the couple days of circuit training and biking already helped me cause I ended up doing 9-13 min run intervals (with 1 min walks in between). I ran most intervals at a speed of 4.6, the last interval at 5, and the last minute a sprint at 7. A total of 3.7 miles (5.95km), Took 50 mins, burned (supposedly) 476 cals.
Boy was I sweaty! Haha, but found it so much easier than I thought. I forgot my ear buds so instead of watching whatever I want on netflix on my phone, I had to watch home reno shows on the tv's at the gym (with subtitles).
Had an omelette and french toast between 12:30 and 3 when I got ready to head to the barn for my riding lesson. Had a pretty good lesson.
Had a bit of a worrying time on my drive home. I had called my mom on the way to the barn, but the call went straight to voicemail, that usually doesn't happen. She may not answer but it's very rare. I tried calling her on the drive home from the barn 2 and a half hours later and again it went straight to voicemail. Even if her phone's batteries had drained, she would have plugged it in within 2 and a half hours. I tried calling the home number (which I never use) and no one answered. I tried texting just in case. No return text. I then phoned both my brothers and neither of them knew whether or not my mom had had plans that would have caused her to turn her phone off (like a show or movie). I decided to drive to her house in case she had fallen down the stairs (of course more sinister things were in my mind) or something (she isn't that old, but just in case). Drove there and no one was home and her vehicle was gone. House looked normal, the dog hadn't been fed yet (he usually gets fed at 5 and it was around 6:15) but it's not crazy unusual if she had plans to be out. But I don't have her friends' numbers, I do have a cousin's phone number that I could call to get my aunt's number to see if she knew anything of my mom's whereabouts.
I called my cousin and nearly her first words out of her mouth were 'are you looking for your mom?' My mom was over at her house. And the reason why she wasn't answering her phone is because it had fallen into the toilet so was sitting, off, in a bag of rice to try to dry it out and make it work again. Phew. Crisis averted!
Got home and made noodles with my italian gravy, it didn't turn out great. Not very flavorful unfortunately. I also decided I had enough cals for a naan bread. Unfortunately I left it in the oven too long and it came out rock hard so I didn't eat it.
I had really been craving some baked desert. I had very few ingredients but managed to find a fudge recipe I had the ingredients for. It turned out well, but I'm not a big fudge fan. Especially when it's hot from just coming out of the oven. Too sweet. It would need some ice cream or something cold to cut through the sweetness. I had 2 pieces but felt a little icky after them from the sweetness. Will put them in the freezer and have them as I desire.
I think I'll have popcorn yet tonight and finish off my cals at 1724 cals. This will leave me with 2900 cals for tomorrow to stay in my weekly cals.
) I was about to say almost the same thing. Hope you are feeling OK Mystic xo Cate
