Not much happened today, but I still felt the urge to post. Smudge seems to have discovered the feline joy that is RUNNING. He's been racing around the living room all evening. It's so good to see. He's finally acting like a kitten. He's rolling around the floor at the moment chewing and scratching the hell out of a little hash sack. A minute ago he was chasing a pink fuzzy ball. Ah the energy of kittens. If only we could harness it we could power a small city.

Yesterday I went to the Ren Fest near Novato with some friends. It was a fun way to pass the afternoon. I got a henna tattoo on my back. AND I chose not to partake in Sin on a Stick. What is Sin on a Stick? Why, it's just the best faire food ever. It's a piece of cheesecake dipped in chocolate and put on a popsicle stick. Tres yummy! But I didn't feel like having any. I didn't feel deprived. I knew that I could have - I had the points. Especially after walking so much at the Faire. But I didn't really want it. It felt so good to be in control of the food for once.

I went to the Gentle Yoga class again tonight. My legs have been so sore since the horseback riding. They feel better now after stretching them. I need to work on my food planning when I do yoga though. I ate all my food for lunch and I brought some almonds that I ate just before the class. I figured that would give me the staying power to get through the class. Nice thought, but it didn't work.

By the time the class was over I was feeling a bit light headed and shakey. I got some take-out from the Royal Tofu House. But it wasn't what I expected and I didn't care for it at all. I ended up just having a couple of bowls of cereal. And a few too many of those chocolate orange sticks from Trader Joe's. I had the points for it (thank god for flex points), so it's okay. But I'm still feeling the effects of my blood sugar getting too low. I hate that feeling.

So next week I need to plan better on Sunday night. Have some leftovers ready that I can just pop right into the microwave. I also should have a piece of fruit or something for right after class, in addition to the nuts right before the class.

Man I'm tired. I hope I sleep tonight. I've been waking up a lot during the course of the night. I go right back to sleep, but it's very distruptive. I've been so tired in the morning too. It's not even 9 o'clock yet, but I think I'm going to crawl into bed. The idea of sleeping is just too good to pass up.
