Healthy food is expensive!

Just got back from the grocery store after a really good workout. Bought a bunch of groceries, with just about everything being either healthy or at least not junk food. Didn't seem like I had much it my cart but it ended up being over $100.00!!! OH well, mostly I got stuff for sack lunches and that'll be good not only because I'm eating better but also because I'll save money in the long run. Also picked up some one a day vitamins. I ALMOST bought the Flinstones chewables just because they were so fun when I was a kid - but bought an "adult version" that was on sale.

I'm SOOOO tired! Tonight's workout was kickass in a good way - and to be honest last night was weak. I pushed myself a lot harder tonight and was really sweating and maxing out at the end. "But T.J., where is your cool little ipod/nike graph?" I remembered the ipod but forgot the running sensor "DOH!" Anyway, I ran two miles straight, then walked a bit, then ran half a mile at a slower speed on a treadmill incline of 2.5. In total I only did 3.5 miles, but I was on the machine for over 40 minutes and burned 626 calories. So that is not bad. I know it's not 8 miles w/ severe hills (at work today a friend that is following this blog said she's "worried about me" in the race). All I can do is keep pushing and working and eating better and see how things go. Hey, even if I don't sprint the course in some amazing time, finising will be a great accomplishment and I'll be in that much better shape, hopefully to continue after our trip and will be in great shape by the wedding in May.

Anyway, had a good day and ate good. Nutrigrain for breakfast, salad for lunch, and just finished a bowl of chili for dinner. W/ all my new groceries I'll have quite the selection in packing lunches for the rest of the week. Tomorrow morning I head down to Chicago to do a 30 minute spotlight show on the Museum with Radio Disney, so that should be fun and interesting (gotta get up early though!).

OK, I'm off to play w/ my iphone and check out all the new updates that came out today (movie rentals!!) Did you see the new Apple laptop?? Wow - head over to apple.com to check it out. Have a great day and stay tuned for tomorrow's update.
