I'm watching a movie called Spirit of the Marathon - it's about the Chicago Marathon. They just said that several runners have PRs of under 2:07...wow! I'm nowhere near even THINKING about a marathon, but this is pretty inspiring. They panned the runners - there must have been thousands and thousands of them! 35-37,000 people, they just said - I can't even imagine the energy that must have been in that crowd...
Anyway, craft show season is in full swing; and it's getting really busy! I am part of a small family business that makes various handmade items (click here to see our website!), and I also make paper crafts and altered items (click here to visit my Etsy shop!). From the end of October to the end of November, every weekend is spoken for by craft shows. Of course I don't make it easy on myself by making my items ahead so every night is spoken for by crafting!
The good news is that it keeps me busy. The bad news is that I'm not a very good planner, and I don't like to take much time out to do necessary things like making dinner, doing dishes, etc. So I tend to eat poorly. Last year I didn't even try to eat healthy. This year I see myself slipping back into old (bad) habits so I need to figure out how to get out of the rut I've been in. I get 29 Weight Watchers Plus points/day. Some days that seems like a lot...most days it seems like hardly any. Especially when I get the munchies. I ordered a microwave chip cooker from a Pampered Chef show yesterday - I'm excited to get it. Hopefully that will allow me to have crunchy, low point snacks.

But I still have the munchies!
So I made some crafts, packaged up an Etsy order, checked Facebook while watching my marathon movie and decided to blog.
Good job on distracting yourself!! I've had the munchies today too, but had so much to do that it made it easier to stay out of the food. I read that Jenny Harner lost a toenail. I guess that's a common occurrence for Marathon runners. Doesn't sound like much fun.
