so here are the excuses i used to keep myself from running today: i should be able to take a day off on presidents' day, it's too cold outside (33 degrees), the bone that i broke in my foot last summer was starting to feel weird. so instead i ended up cleaning the house, which should be filed under exercise because i got pretty warmed up. a lot of vacuuming, a lot of dusting, and i even scrubbed the bathroom floor and walls. for lunch i was going to have a spinach goat cheese omelette but had to toss the cheese due to mold.

i got picked up by my mother in the late afternoon, first to star market (valentine candy sale), then back to belmont where my sister was making a lamb roast. i logged in some wii fit minutes, but mostly i wanted to check my progress: despite a slight dip in my weight from when i first started, i've actually steadily increased my weight. waiting for my father to get back home, i saw my mother fumbling with the wii remote so i helped her get set up. she managed to do a full 30 minutes worth of workout, but her wii fit age this time around was in the 50's.
