Skipping stones

Today I went hiking with my kids for the first time. We went to Snoqualmie Falls and went down the trail to the river, where we learned how to skip rocks, learned that rivers are cold, and saw fish not in an aquarium.

Alisdair managed to learn to skip rocks right away. He was very pleased. Will hasn't quite mastered it yet and mostly want to relocate larger rocks to hear and see the splash.

On the way home, we stopped and got some food as I hadn't eaten and was a tad on the shaky side. We got home in time to see the cops looking door to door for someone in the neighborhood. Woo, what a weekend. :) The falls and the river were great, though. We'll have to go back with swimsuits and sandwiches and sunscreen another time.

[Diet] Starting over. Again.

Ah well, what else is to be expected, right? And there's a week before GenCon, so naturally now is the perfect time to amend my diet. *rolleyes* Still. Can't hurt to start again now, even if I have to start again when I get back.

Today I had no soda. Go me. I did have an iced coffe, a bottled green tea and a Vitamin Water, but no pop and a lot of water. I feel good about this.

My food today... heh. Sort of sucked, if I'm being truthful. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.

Breakfast: Egg Mcmuffin.

Lunch: 3/4 grilled cheese.

Dinner: not consumed yet. Might not be, honestly. It's too damn hot. I'm just not hungry. We'll see how food goes tomorrow -- and if I have any fruit left in the house. If I do I might have that. We'll see.

EDIT: had some plain Greek yogurt with the vanilla honey drizzled over the top.

Too many carbs, no fruit or veggies... about the only things I did right were a lack of refined sugar and protein, and given that the coffee, vitamin water, and green tea were all sweetened, I can't even claim a victory of virtue there either. That's okay, though. We'll get there.
