We're traveling for this "holiday." Yeah, it's a fantasy holiday based on a lie about Pilgrims and Indians but it is an occasion to get together with family and friends and share a big meal. We'll be traveling to the Bay Area to visit my hubby's family. Among other things, that means I do not have to cook or host. Yay! I'm truly thankful for that and happy. While we are there, we'll be going to the city to see all those famous impressionist paintings on loan from Paris. Who hasn't seen a poster of Starry Night? Well, now we get to see the original. Yet again, thankful and happy.
On the health front, I continue to swim and I have dropped about 7 pounds on South Beach phase 1. I'm moving on in phases but resolved to stick with healthy eating and the good feelings it produces. Plus, combined with swimming, I dropped inches from my torso and will be donating a bag of my biggest clothes. Woo hoo! Very happy. Healthy eating combined with exercise has made a dramatic impact on my general health. Not only am I not stiff and in pain, I feel -- Good.
Yesterday I spent the day with my granddaughter at her basketball tournament. I sat on bleachers for hours and after each game I was able to stand straight and walk. Sounds simple, but I couldn't have done it just three short weeks ago. Could not have even done it.
Between games we browsed at a Christmas craft fair and had lunch together. It was not phase I but I had a turkey burger on wheat and a salad. Plus, I shared the turkey burger with my granddaughter so she would have some protein to go with the fruit stuffed french toast she ordered. It was a good lunch and a very pleasant visit with a beautiful young lady. I had a wonderful day and I'm thankful.
