Put the finishing touches on my fundraising page today and at the same time found out about my honoree, Lauren. The fundraiser is, of course, for the half-marathon I am running on June 2nd for Team Challenge and the CCFA. Rather than go into all of the details in my blog, you can read about Lauren on my fundraising webpage at http://www.active.com/donate/virginia12newjersey/NJNMagenh
After the exuberance of booking the Super Bowl trip yesterday, things settled down into a normal routine day. The only thing that was different about today was the workout that I did. Typically, I either run or go to the gym and lift weights. Today, I went to the gym late morning and went into the room where classes are held (no class was happening) and brought 5 kettlebells of various weights with me. Just me and the kettlebells in the huge room and what a great workout it was. Total of 45 minutes of which maybe 5 minutes was rest, the remainder I was swinging away. That's one of the best workouts where you get a combination of weight lifting and aerobics. On the way home, I got the oil changed in my truck. Got home and had a shake.
The afternoon was spent starting to get all of my 2011 tax stuff together. I also downloaded the racing program for the handicapping tournament on Saturday night and made a few preliminary notes in it. Neither Emily nor I felt like cooking dinner so we ordered take out from a local Italian restaurant. I had a half meatball parm. sub and about 4 additional pieces of Italian bread. I am absolutely addicted to bread. Bread, for me, can be an appetizer, dinner or dessert. Tonight, it was dessert, although, my real dessert was a glass of port about an hour after dinner. I am fortunate, in that my cravings are typically things that are not the worst things for my Crohn's. Carbs, like pasta and bread are things I crave the most so even on bad days its normally that I just had too much. Never have had cravings for proteins, which is a good thing because they are more difficult for me to digest. I've also never been one to like a lot of spice in my food. Just give me my carbs and I'm a happy guy.
