Hope everybody's doing well and especially eating what's best. I can't say I'm doing so all the time. But I am back in the gym. Started out on the elyptical, do about a mile walk a day; arm lifts, waist twists, a few sit-ups etc., trying to get my Michelle Obama arms going. It's coming. I get on a few exercise machines. But I think I was pushing it at first, and started having joint problems. Maybe it was sort of my way to get a day or two off to rest; and then it was two, and then three. But I got back on my routine, and I was on course for three days this week. And yes, I do feel better when I do what I'm suppose to. It's a shame I have to kick myself a time or two to do what I oughta. But that's how we stubborn ones (I admit it, finally) are. Born goat. Don't quote me on it. I'm in a mellow and fragile mood that's what it is. Anyway, got the exercise going, now I gotta get the eating back on track and stick with it until I fall short again. And of course it will happen. Hey! We're human. Another excuse. Well, I did have salmon about three or four times this week, and salads, watermelon too. But my melon's gotta be sweet every time. When it's not, it's tragic. We gotta' go back to that store that very day, get the money back, or get a replacement that I insist they cut. Been thinking about bring my own knife, I know it'll be clean, but that might not go over too well. They might think it's a threatening act and call the authorities. Anyway, I can't be consoled until I get a replacement melon that tastes sweet. You might think that's taking it a little too far, but having so few things available that I can tolerate consuming, I take my eating serious. And when the season's over I'll turn to my next must have and be as invested and crazed about it as I am this spring and summer delight. Happy Eating All. Sue
