My plans last night were a red box and a night in.
The dvd wouldn’t play.
Night officially ruined.
So I made myself a giant cookie, had a glass of wine, and settled for cheap thrills on cable television.
We do what we have to.
I used one of Picky Palate’s recipes for a giant cookie.
It actually makes two nice sized ones, by the way.
Thought I’d fool myself and try to save one for the next day. But, if you’ll remember, there was no movie to distract me. So I ate the second one, too.
Whatever. It was carb loading. And it was essential I stayed in last night. Or so I thought.
Today was supposed to be a 7-miler. But we’re still under heat advisory and I am not waking up before 7:00 on a Saturday. Nope. So I hit the gym.
We do what we have to.
I pulled out 4.7 miles on the tread and another 12 minutes on the elliptical before deciding it might actually be more humid/hot inside the gym than outside. I finished up the day with a 1.5 mile walk outdoors. The breeze and 12-degree drop in weather confirmed it- much nicer outside than in.
Just can’t win.
Shoulda waited until tomorrow because there’s a rumor it’s going to be a high in the low 80′s. But tonight will be a long one. My gal pal Mon needs a perk up and what better plan than to see Magic Mike and get some adult beverages after?
We do what we have to.
Until then, I should probably be a good kid.
Iced tea from McDonald’s (shout out to B for letting me borrow her car for the journey) and a salad because absolutely no cooking is going down in my kitchen again until the temps straighten themselves out. It’s a decided new rule.
Stay cool, kids.

I love the heat, but I don’t even want to get out in this stuff to go play! It’s too hot
I miss sleeping in for runs and definitely can’t even imagine putting on denim in this weather to go out! Just as hot in the house as outside too I get that! Great job getting in a run though!
The heat is totally killing any motivation I may (or may not) have for running. I stuck it out for a couple of miles on the treadmill, but the tiny gym at the hotel I’m in SUCKED and didn’t have any towels. None. Isn’t that weird? Yes. Very.
Stay cool!
For a second I thought that was a McDonald’s salad and I thought – whoa…when did McD’s start roasting veggies and adding garbanzo beans?!
oh that salad looks fabulous!!
I agree with you in regards to no cooking!! This heat in Vegas is horrible!!!
Such a bummer that your DVD didn’t work..I hate when that happens!!
It’s finally a little cooler here today too, but it’s been brutal. I don’t know how anyone does anything other than get into their car and crank the AC in that heat.
I also thought, for a quick second, that the salad was from McDonald’s! But then I realized that would simply be impossible. Looks too good.
Stay cool my friend. Enjoy the last of the weekend!
I’m so glad it cooled off today! That heat was no joke. I tried to go for a run on the 4th when it was super hot and yeah…that didn’t last long. Hope you had a good rest of your weekend!
Every time I see someone running in this heat I want to call a psychiatrist to check them out. It’s too hot!
Hope you enjoyed the movie, I still haven’t gone to see it. Hopefully tomorrow!
