exercise note

6.25 miles. Worked up a good healthy sweat today. :)

Afterward, treated myself to a (much needed) large bottle of water and then a "banana split"* smoothie for lunch.

* 1 banana
6 oz. cherry cheesecake light yogurt
2 tb ff sweetened condensed milk (I know, I know, it's mostly empty sugar calories--but it makes the smoothie texture and taste "just right"! LOL..acording to CalorieKing.com at least it has 100mg calcium and 3g protein along with the 24g sugars in a 2 tb serving, and it took me 13 minutes of jogging to work off the 110 calories.)
1 cup ice
drizzle 1 tb sf chocolate sauce

And, yes, smoothies are my latest summer food obsession. Need to buy some more avocados. :)

Proud Parent

LOL....my daughter just sent me a phone mail photo of her acceptance form for graduate school!

She's gotten into the university (MTSU; Murfreesboro, TN) and the Masters of Science program (Dept. of Health and Human Performance: Recreation). She is going to be a busy girl, working full time and taking classes! But I certainly am proud of her....

Even if this does mean I'm going to have to listen to her gripe, moan, and stress about it and proofread her papers for her (again). :)

Book #39

39) Swarup, Vikas, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (Q & A). Scribner: 2008.

I read the bok because of good reviews and awards the movie got, but (as is usually the case) the book was better than the movie!

Darn it; I have not been doing enough good reading this summer....
