Disgusting fat exhibit and dodging land mines in the park

OK, today I saw something that would probably make you never want to eat certain foods ever again! Our Wellness Team at work has this display of test tubes that shows the amount of saturated and unsaturated fat in certain foods such as sirloin steak, ice cream, and butter. The tubes have liquid fat in them for the amount of unsaturated fat and solid fat for the amount of saturated fat. The saturated fat is clinging to the sides of the tubes and I can just imagine what it's doing inside a person's body. Everybody should have a chance to see this if they want an incentive to stop eating high-fat foods!

I went to the gym and did two hours of classes! That's right. Uh huh! I was exhausted going in, so I'm ready to drop now. I'll keep this short tonight. I did a step-aerobics class and then Body Pump! I think I was on auto pilot. The instructor tonight was fun, so that kept me going! I was kid free tonight, so you'd think I'd be out having fun or something, but no I'm a gym geek! Jillian would be proud!

Maybe, if I get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight, I can get up and go for a run in the morning. I refused to turn on the television tonight so that I didn't get sucked into any reality TV. Just say NO to the reality TV!

The only problem with going for a run in the neighborhood park, is that I usually have to dodge land mines! You know, doggie do do. People are so rude! If you can't handle the responsibility of having a dog, don't have one! I do not want to pick up poop in the park and put it in a little baggie, so I do not have a dog. I yelled at someone once because their dog was pooping in the park. I wasn't their dog! Oopsie! So, I asked the next person if it was their dog and it was so I said, "your dog is pooping!" The person said, "I already picked it up twice." I DON'T CARE! It's your dog! Pick it up every time. The city even provides bags at the park, so there's really no excuse. C'mon. I don't even want to let me son play in the park because he'll probably get dog poop on him. I have come home in the past from the park with dog poop on my sneakers.

Tomorrow I have to make a dessert for a charity event. I'm keeping it simple and doing chocolate-dipped strawberries. They're actually fairly healthy too, as long as you use dark chocolate and don't eat too many. Of course, since I'm not eating them I'm going to dip some in coconut, some in mini chocolate chips, and some in chopped nuts. They'll look really pretty that way. Julia would be proud!
