Efforts to Unearth the Past

Day 67 in my amble toward a meeting with my favorite mouse

Yesterday was interesting.  I did remain sugar-free.  Yippee!  And I looked for a dance tape that I have from years back.  Yup, straight up VHS.  It’s from a program called “The Neuropsychology of Weight Control” by SyberVision Systems.  The program was really good, and talked about the “glycemic index” long before I had heard it anywhere else.  It suggested a cookbook called “Recipes to Lower Your Fat Thermostat” by LaRene Gaunt which I have used often in the last 20 years.  And it came with an exercise VHS with a really pleasant woman, who talked you through several levels: beginner, intermediate and hard core.  I CANNOT remember the name of the tape.  ARGH!  But she even counted down one time in Finnish, the language of half my peeps.  So cool…and motivational!

So today’s plan is to continue the search for my awesome VHS cardio workout.  And to remain sugar-free.  And to make the best choices I can today.

Meet you at the Kingdom!

BTW: My goals for yesterday were accomplished.  And I did a 15 minute McDonald’s cardio workout DVD for the dance portion of my workout, followed by a five minute cool down walk.  I still miss Emi, but it’s good to get back to the routine of work and daily life.

Day 30 in getting ready to meet Mickey at the Magic Kingdom

My work as a church secretary has been rather challenging this summer.  There has been major construction at the church building, so at times it has been very loud and smelly (paints, varnishes and glues) at work.  Now at last, things are pretty well put back together and the place looks so fresh and new.  I dig it!

However, I came to work with a leftover piece of salmon and potato last week for my lunch.  When I went to microwave it, the microwave was not only not working, it was missing.  😦  That was a very interesting cold lunch.  Not to be repeated.

So today I didn’t bring a lunch.  My plan for today was to go to McDonalds and pick up a salad for my lunch.  Not a Big Mac, not fries, not a quarter pounder with cheese, not a fish sandwich, not Chicken McNuggets, etc…etc…  And I did just that.  I picked up a salad with grilled chicken and savored every bite.  I didn’t even buy a drink, because I had brought a bottle of water from home.  It was delicious and satisfying.

I usually bring an apple to work everyday, too.  So this afternoon when I get home from work, I will enjoy my apple with peanut butter on it.  Yum!  I’ve gotten to a place now where I prefer peanut butter whose only ingredient is peanuts.  What a concept!

That’s it for today, dear friends.  Meet you at the Kingdom!

BTW: The microwave is being reinstalled tomorrow.  Yay!  Leftovers for lunch again.
