in there and a lot of faith in the universe to steer us in the right direction, but I do believe that patience here has been rewarded.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve said too much.\u00a0 Moving on.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 Plans this long weekend: we&#8217;re hosting a BBQ and having some friends over.\u00a0 Zliten is cooking up three types of ribs, a friend is doing chicken, and I&#8217;m making my <a href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/?p=941\" target=\"_blank\">famous potato salad, veggie pasta salad<\/a>, and dip (roasted garlic\/feta\/herb w\/lowfat sour cream and some other goodies).\u00a0 There will be some other random goodness &#8211; with our friends it&#8217;s always too much awesome food.\u00a0 Other than that &#8211; cleaning and prepping for said occasion, a mellow night over at said friend with chicken&#8217;s house tonight, and just lots of relaxing and destressing.\u00a0 Activity-wise, I hope to get in an EPIC bike ride (20 miles or over 15 at least) one day, more weights and yoga, and some fun stuff like a walking adventure or whatever happens.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 It has been mentally nice to not track every little calorie.\u00a0 Really, really nice.\u00a0 I&#8217;m interested to see the next weigh in and if I&#8217;ve lost weight, then maybe I&#8217;ll stick with it&#8230; I do have an unnatural curiousity to see how much my bike ride torched this morning cal-wise but I&#8217;m STAYING AWAY.<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0 My heel is pretty much recovered, but I think it&#8217;s time to bite the bullet and go in and hit RunTex or something and get them to take a peek at my gait and suggest a shoe for me.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think this running thing is a fad, and I might as well invest a little bit more in some shoes that will make me not have to limp around (even though they were just FUCKING FINE before when I trained and ran a half marathon in their previous version and now I can&#8217;t run a 5k &#8211; *shakes fist*).\u00a0 I figure I can splurge on it once and if it doesn&#8217;t make a difference, I&#8217;ll be at Academy anyway in 6 months like I always am and give another brand a go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Bonus: Zliten also chopped his hair &#8211; he said it was time.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been long for as long as most of our friends now knew us so it was really weird to them, but since I&#8217;ve known him hair long and short, it&#8217;s just different.\u00a0 I think it looks good!\u00a0 I keep saying it will be fun when it&#8217;s longer on top and there is more to play with but it looks super cute now.\u00a0 This is not the most flattering picture ever but it works:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net\/hs574.snc3\/31289_422889977602_699762602_5379009_6746988_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"362\" height=\"272\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyone else just DYING for it to be weekend time yet?\u00a0 Out already and enjoying (I&#8217;ll try not to hate you too much)?\u00a0 Big awesome plans?\u00a0 Tell me your happy!<\/p>\n<p>See ya in the early next week times&#8230;<\/p>\n<div data-counters='1' data-style='square' data-size='regular' data-url='http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/28\/5-random-things-friday\/' data-title='5 Random Things Friday' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_3'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='googleplus' class='linksalpha_icon_googleplus'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div><div data-position='' data-url='http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/28\/5-random-things-friday\/' data-title='5 Random Things Friday' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_7'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='googleplus' class='linksalpha_icon_googleplus'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/28\/5-random-things-friday\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"standard\" show-faces='false' width=\"225px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been one hell of a week, one of those that have both dragged (omg is it three day weekend time YET?) and gone fast (my to do list looks about the same as it did Monday &#8211;
