When duty calls, I answer it!  Remember the Pantless Wonder I blogged about a couple of months ago?  You know, the guy who jumped out of the trees with no pants on and scared me to death while I was biking?

Well friends, there was another spotting.  This time, it wasn’t so innocent.  No way was he going to continue to get away with his ick-ness, so I called the Po to catch him!  I’ve never called 911 before, and I admit, it was exciting.  I was at the bus stop making the call, when Merv the Perv saw me on my cell phone, and then ran back into the trees.  Maybe he’ll be on the run now – I’m hoping so, because if I see him again, I’m going to start throwing rocks at the guy. 

Finally, Test Results

On another note, it was 5 weeks ago that I had the endoscopy test done to see if the doctor could find out what’s wrong with my tummy.  After a ton of paperwork mishaps, miscommunication, lost faxes and lab result reports, I found out today… nothing. 

The biopsy results showed nothing.

I’m not going to get down about this – I wasn’t confident there would be any news.  It just means it’s time to try some other alternatives.  I’ve tried the conventional medicine route, I’ve also seen two naturopaths.  My next attempt at getting to the root of my tummy troubles might be the most unconventional yet – but I’ll be blogging about that in the future.

To all of you who wrote me with kind words and supportive emails, thank you so much.  It means a lot to know there are awesome girls out there I’ve never even met who share their stories, pieces of their lives, with a “stranger”, to lift her spirits.  You guys are great.

I Eat

Let’s move on to happier, more delicious things!  How about some breakfast pictures…

Hard to say which is prettier, the flowers or the oats.

Just some regular nan-based oats + almond milk + trail mix + peanut butter.

I added a bit of pumpkin into this bowl, and topped it with soy nuts + pumpkin seeds.  The usual almond milk + cinnamon + pumpkin spice made the cut, as did a big slop of almond butter.

Work lunches haven’t been exciting, at all.  Salads and canned soup, mostly.  A couple biscuits, fruit, veggies, nuts.  Same old, same old.

… I’m a tofu convert!  I’ve eaten it three nights in a row and can confidently say, I dig it.

Last night, I added tofu to some stir fry leftovers, but heated the veggies and tofu in a pan with sesame oil + soy sauce.  It gave the soy blocks some flavour.  Good stuff!  There was brown rice buried under there.

Tonight was more leftovers, the roasted veggies + tofu from the weekend, with some maple syrup + olive oil + sea salt that seasoned it all. 

This was a good snack last night – some orange + chewy granola squares.  They’re hiding.

I’ve also eaten too many dates.  Same old story!

I Move

Monday – After work, and after my perv reporting duties with Mr. Police Officer ended, I went for a 6k run.  It was windy which I don’t like, especially when I’m running, but it felt good to get outside and sweat.  Working in an office has increased my appreciation for exercising 1000%.

Tuesday – I did hot yoga tonight and it was an intense class.  There were some challenging moments, and at one point I had to collect myself in child’s pose, but mostly, I worked through the challenge and felt relaxed but energized afterwards.  The room was hotter than last week, and that was a good thing.

Tomorrow is Wednesday, a rotten day of the week.  How am I going to make it a good day?  Oats for breakfast, a very busy day tomorrow at work, lunch out with colleagues, and a rest day from exercise.

How will you make your Wednesday great?  I hope it’s a breezy one!
