Wednesday...no, wait, Thursday

I told you that Jenine and I are working-out again, and we are on a super-duper diet plan. Right? It's the one where we change it up every week, so that we do not risk getting bored.
Last week, the challenge was to eat 7 servings of fruit and Veggies every day. Which works well for me. I am thinking I will keep up with that.
For this week, we are going to eliminate dessert. I am not all that big on dessert in the first place. I am more of a deep-fried fan. Sugar is not all that tempting, but oil really is. French fries. Onion rings. Tater tots. OK, I like simple carbs fried in fat.
Isn't that gross?
But, now I want sweets. Speaking a law into being has created in me this desire to do that which is forbidden. It's a biblical concept, isn't it? I am thinking of cheesecake and ice cream and that strawberry/rubarb thing that Celise makes.
I love the gym and I love hanging out with Jenine. We have these fabulous conversations. Actually, she is a really patient listener. I run off at the mouth on the treadmill, while she smiles and nods. Then, when I have finally exhausted my words, she can begin to speak. By that time we are usually over in the weight room, and then I find that I can learn something by Shutting Up and Listening. New concept. (Just in case you were wondering....I know that I talk too much, and I hate that about myself. I am working on it. ) Jenine's really brilliant, and she doesn't seem to be aware of that fact, so it's really disarming. Love that.

Gee, ripping up wallpaper and painting was not enough exercise for the week? Next you are going to be trying out for the Iron Man!
