FMM - Oh, Henry!Easy Weight Loss

The other day I walked into my bathroom, saw Henry in a new spot, spun back on my heels to grab my phone, and got the cutest shot of him:
He found a comfy hidey-hole!

I mean, am I thrilled that my cat is lying on my bath towels?  No.  But look how content he is, all tucked in behind the stack of towels.  How could I be mad?

As I was driving Paco to the vet earlier in the week, we came to a red light.  Suddenly he started barking like a madman, which he doesn't usually do in the car.  I looked around and realized that a garbage truck was in the lane next to us, and he recognized it.  Garbage trucks are his mortal enemies, followed closely by the UPS truck and the mail truck.  He barked enough that it drove away, so job well done, Paco.

On Wednesday evening, I met up with my fellow Renegades at Salata for dinner, and then we went to the movie theater to see Boston:  An American Running Story.  I was surprised that hardly anyone was in the theater, but I don't think the movie was promoted very well.  Here we are:
Me, Diane, Cary, Andi, and Julia.  My arm needed to be a couple inches longer to get a full shot, but you get the picture (har har).

What you aren't seeing is the man Julia was sitting next to - he was wearing his Boston Marathon shirt and she was talking to him quite a bit about his experience running the race.  I was too far away to really hear much, but we entertained ourselves well enough until the movie began.
That morning I ran 5 miles with Diane, had a 250 calorie breakfast, salad for dinner, and a box of Milk Duds at the movie - I think I was actually fine with my daily calories, although it wasn't the most nutritious day...but it was exactly what I wanted.

The movie was really good and had all of us tearing up at various points.  And when we were watching the great MEB come in for the finish of the 2014 race, we were all cheering him on, even though we already knew he won.  It's just as exciting to see the second time around.  If you get a chance to see this movie, I highly recommend it.

We have a 10K on tap this Sunday; fingers crossed the predicted weather forecast with a morning low of 52 degrees holds true; I think that would be the best weather we've had for a race in forever!

Have a great weekend!
