A Few Days In

Well, I'm three days into this most recent attempt to make some change, and things are going well. I made good meal choices especially on Monday and Tuesday, and today as begun with some scrambled Egg Beaters, a piece of multi-grain toast, a banana, and some Awake tea with just a splash of 2% milk. Lunch will be romaine with a small piece of left over chicken, cucumbers, carrots, and a small amount of ranch dressing, which is something I'm not willing to compromise at this time. I really do use only a little bit. My snack tonight will be celery sticks and hummus, so that leaves dinner.

KB and I will be meeting for shopping and dinner tonight. I wonder where we'll go and what meal choices we'll make? Eating together is a big part of our history. Our friendship is spacious and free, and in the past that has encouraged spontaneity, impulsiveness, and indulgence. All good, very good, things...except when it comes to food. But I trust that we'll find ways to be spontaneous, impulsive, and indulgent together even in abstinance. That's actually a neat thought!

A friend gave me her barely used Tony Little Gazelle about a month ago--it's one of those non-motorized glider machines where you're doing a cross country skiing type motion. I did it for 10 minutes last night and then did some light aerobics for 5 and then did 5 more on the Gazelle. It was hard, but I guess it's a good start.
