Small Slice

Oh, the lure of the Disney Plastic Poncho. I rocked it out last time, and this time, I'm topping the whole ensemble with a Disney Cowgirl hat.  Because THAT is what vacation is all about.

This vacation, thus far, has been extreme in every way.  From hot and muggy to insane rainstorms that come out of nowhere, let's just say that my hair has seen better days.  I've given up on makeup, aside from a little lip gloss. 

These vacation photos will be the best ever.  I can just tell.

We're enjoying an afternoon at the house after braving the Animal Kingdom park this morning.  It looks like a cool park, but the rain heading our way from the tropical storm hurricane hit us like a ton of bricks, soaked us despite our ponchos, and sent us dripping on our way.  We might go back for more this afternoon, because we are crazy like that. 

I stupidly ate what would have been a normal amount of food for me, pre-Fat Fallacy, and I am stuffed beyond comfort.  It is really encouraging to see how little food it takes to satisfy my actual hunger now.  I've been sticking with lighter fare - salads have been a staple.  I'm so glad that healthy (even vegetarian options besides the ubiquitous Gardenburger), inexpensive-ish meals can be found all over the parks.  I expect the heat/rain is disturbing my normal hunger pangs, but I'm really not eating much at all.  I hope that I'll come home to lower numbers on the scale.

Guess what else?  I went running on Sunday morning!  I woke my sister up at 6 o'clock, and we ran along a little path here in the resort.  It was not too hot, but I'm experiencing a lot of shin splints, so I'm being very cautious, and ended up dropping back to a walk for most of the mile and a half.  Tomorrow is my day for a mile and three-quarters.  I will at least run-walk-run-walk it.  Kim?  Do you hear me, Kim? 

I'm already plotting for next week's triumphant return and SmallSlice Menu-Album.  Get ready for some yummy summer fare.
