I got my lazy ass into the pool for the first time in a week today.<\/p>\n
After my gall bladder attack, I just didn’t feel motivated.\u00a0 I even asked the doctor if working out was okay (secretly hoping for a “no” and an excuse not to).\u00a0\u00a0 He laughed and said that as long I was not in the middle of an attack I should be fine.<\/p>\n
So, no excuses.\u00a0 I swam.<\/p>\n
They keep that pool too damn warm in the summer.\u00a0 I know they do it because of the people in aqua fitness and aqua therapy rehabs that just cannot take the cold.\u00a0 Dandy.\u00a0 In the summer, competition pool coldness is fine with me.\u00a0 Ah well.\u00a0 I wouldn’t want it to be too cold for people that really need the water workout and the warmth, anyway.<\/p>\n
I had oatmeal for breakfast in my new lowfat diet.\u00a0 Since I’ve been having oatmeal for breakfast for the past few months, this was not exactly a huge change.\u00a0 I’ve been using powdered milk as creamer instead of half-n-half.\u00a0 I like half-n-half better, but I’ll be goddamned if I buy those stupid low-fat “products”.\u00a0 I’m not bloody well going to buy low fat cheese.\u00a0 I’m just eating nonfat yogurt and gonna be done with it.\u00a0 It’s summer, the produce is good.\u00a0 There’s plenty of real food I can eat — I love fish, turkey and chicken.\u00a0 Salads are my friend.\u00a0 Strawberries are almost in season.\u00a0 I make a mean beans and rice.\u00a0 I bet I can come up with a really tasty yogurt-based salad dressing, too.\u00a0 I’m a great cook and don’t need to fall back on fake food.<\/p>\n
Thank God I can still cook in wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
