Friday, Grappling with reality?

I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds.  And I’m going to walk at least 3 miles today (as I do just about everyday,) take my fiber supplement and drink two liters of water.

This has been a weird few months for me.  First that bizarre winter where just getting out of the house at all was a nearly overwhelming challenge. THEN for some reason I haven’t been able to keep track of my pedometer.  I’ve worn the thing everyday for years but, since the first of March I’ve lost it twice.

Most recently, it’s been missing for nearly a month.  I’ve looked everywhere for it — tried the “don’t panic, it’ll turn up when you least expect it” technique. And sure enough, it turned up under my least favorite pair of socks when I grudgingly decided to pick them up from the corner where I’d tossed them.  Lesson learned.  I’m sure.

Anyway, the pedometer proved it’s super-human powers . . . Yesterday I
got my new driver’s license, visited parents, planted tomatoes & walked 3.5 miles before lazing on the patio for a couple of hours. All in all good day — it couldn’t have happened without my trusty pedometer!


Saturday, Reading between the lines

Just4Today, I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds.  And I’ll limit my sugars to 6 teaspoons, walk at least 3 miles & take my fiber supplement.

I just finished The Road by, Cormac McCarthy.  It was a grim (and happily short) book that ended exactly as I expected.  Maybe it’ll hit me later but, it hasn’t hit me as hard as I expected.  If I had written this book, it would have been very different (Ha! I would NEVER have written this book!!!) Anyway, I would have had a parallel group walking.  With tension between the groups.  As they walked together-but-separately across the country.

I just can’t believe that the father and son could live the way they did.  It would have killed me.

On a lighter note, one of my all time favorite movies, The Boyfriend School is on TV.  The dialog, acting, editing & setting of this film is flawless.  Seriously, watch it if you have the chance.


Friday, Gadding about

Just 4 Today, I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds.  And I’ll drink 2 liters of water, limit sugar to 6 tsp, take my fiber supplement and walk at least 3 miles.

I love this blog and I love all of you.  I’m going to take an early morning walk and I’ll be back in a little while!


Wednesday, Am I forgetting something?

Well, I guess SO!!

Still, Just4Today I’m not going to eat between meals & I’m not going to take seconds.  I’ll drink 2 liters of water, take my fiber supplement, walk at least 3 miles and limit my added sugars to 6 teaspoons.

I’m off in a few minutes to help my parents out for a couple of hours but, I WILL walk this afternoon.

See you later!
