My yesterday consisted of:
Staying home from work with the husband…
And playing Gears of War 3 (which came out midnight the night before)…
For 10 straight hours until we beat the game. :)
(Oooh somebody desperately needs to do their nails. Good thing I picked up a new pack of Sally Hansen nail effects today)
Well, to be truthful, we played for eight (8) straight hours, and then I took a break to do Couch 2 5K Week 4 with my running buddy…
And then we played for another 2 hours before we beat the game.
We. Are. Dorks.
About to go out for another bout of Week 4 (Couch 2 5K), which consists of:
- 3 minutes running
- 90 seconds walking
- 5 minutes running
- 2.5 minutes walking
- Repeat twice (yesterday we added one extra 3-minute run at the end)
(How I Met Your Mother Season Premier reference…anyone see it??)
I will not have any cigarettes until Saturday night.

I bought a nice big bag of these puppies to keep my mouth occupied while I’m doing things that make me crave a cigarette very badly (ex. driving)…
So far today I’ve had three Dum Dums and zero cigarettes.
I’d call that a win!
I also made other “sweeping declarations” last night, like “I will never have abs”. I love food too much – food that is not conducive to a defined midsection.
For shame.
