 “Spambap” Cedar Park, 2023

Mariko made more SPAM kimbap today and I overindulged and ate all the leftovers. It was so good though!

My weight has gone up by about 5 lbs since Thanksgiving, which is no surprise considering all the holiday food and sweets I have been eating. It will be interesting to see how my weight changes as I get back into my regular running routine and eating habits.

But it’s also interesting to note that after running, my appetite is seemingly insatiable. That’s the reason there are no kimbap leftovers for the kids today. 🫣

Happy New Year! (again) Today we had several friends over to celebrate the new year. One of the drinks we enjoyed was a Foo Fighters Saké. It was pretty good!

The party started at about noon and ended around 4 pm. Most people have to work the next day, including myself, so it was nice to end early, relax, and recharge for the start of the work week.

Cheers to 2023!

Happy New Year! We started 2023 off with a delicious osechi brunch. Mariko and her friends prepared everything here, with my contribution being the roast beef. All the dishes were yummy!

These past two weeks have been filled with a lot of yummy foods and plenty of dessert, so I need to get back into my exercise routine quickly. With that in mind, I went for a long run this afternoon and completed my monthly half-marathon challenge in Strava. I struggled a little bit and walked a couple of times, but it wasn’t too bad. I’m really looking forward to a nice year of running!
