okay so today wa a cheat day and i now feel like DEATH. i cheated out of principle, because i HAD to. but oh man do i wish i had just skipped it. i had a terrible day at school and thought binging would make me feel better (no logic whatsoever to find in that sentence), newsflash: it didnt. however being on the diet again is working out for me. i am down 6 pounds since utah and hopefully will continue on my way to non-fatness as my running mileage gets up there.
i am up to 14 miles a week without pain, that is HUGE. i missed running so much i was ready to get some sort of nonathletic hobby.

ANYWAYS, the whole point of this post: we went to REI yesterday to stock up on Garmin Forerunner 305's, which were on huge sale. while there, i saw this:



i bought it because it was BPA-free, and what better time to hop on the bandwagon then now? but now that i have it, i lovelovelove it. i love drinking out of straws (again, how old am i?). and four of the bottles for the whole day and ive got all my water down. and it doesnt spill, which is essential for someone as clumsy as me.
