It is what it is.

I’ve taken a bit of a break from running in the past two weeks. I did my 5km run and am still feeling incredible about my accomplishment. But, the weather has been crappy, and life has been a bit nutty. My landlord decided to put the house up for sale, so for the whole of last week, I hardly got to spend any time at my place because teams of agents and potential buyers were coming through for private viewings and open houses. This surrender of my home really threw a wrench in my week. My friends Liza and Lindsay were a tremendous help with my dog — Rosie was able to go hang out at there house during the day while complete strangers walked through my house (without taking off their shoes), opening cupboards, closets, and one person even used my toilet. Not sure how I feel about that. So, the surrender of my home also meant a temporary surrender of my routine for that period of time, too.
Last Wednesday, I went out to for a belated birthday celebration with my friend Jonathan, his boyfriend Elliot and Jonathan’s cycling amigo, Andrew. We went to comedy night at a local bar, had lots of beer, ate pizza and nachos, and had a fantastic time. I stumbled home late that night, got a little bit of sleep before rising early to vacuum, sweep and prepare the house for private showings that day. I also didn’t have much of an opportunity throughout the week to cook my meals. It’s difficult to begin whipping together a culinary wonder when the phone rings and an agent is ‘in the neighbourhood’ (i.e. outside the front door) with a potential buyer. So, let’s just say that the eating regimen got put on hold as well. And I didn’t get as much time in the gym as I would have liked.
All of those factors combined, and yesterday, when Seb weighed me before our workout, we realized that I had put on just under three pounds.
