Sweet and Buttery Can't Tempt Me

My walk was fabulous! I couldn't decide whether I wanted
to do my morning route, up Sidney ave and back or if I
wanted to do my evening route, down Bay st, along the
waterfront. So, I just did both. It totally somewhere
between 6 or 7 miles and took about 2 hours. My feet were
understandably tired, but I didn't create any new
blisters, so the insoles worked. The only thing I didn't
like about them was that I had to stop and fidget with
them several times through-out the walk. They are great
for now, but only temporary until I can get out and buy
some high quality walking shoes later this week.

We just had dinner and it was extremely healthy, but quite
tasty. Broiled perch with sauted vegetables. Snookums
insisted I have a glass of sparkling grape juice (our
alternative to wine), but I didn't even feel like I wanted
it (at 160 calories a glass), but he insisted and I have
been doing wonderfully well on my calorie intake. So, I
indulged. It was far too sweet. Now that I've drastically
cut my sugar intake, I'm hyper-sensitive to it in
processed foods and beverages. I don't drink fruit juice
anymore, so the grape juice tasted like sugar water. It's
just always been mine and Snookums way of having a toast
or elegant beverage once in awhile, since we don't drink
alcohol. I didn't feel like giving up that tradition or
hurting his feeling by declining a glass. Right now
Snookums is eating Orville Redenbacher's Cinnabon flavored
popcorn and although the house smells enticingly sweet and
buttery, I'm not even slightly tempted to eat it. I had no
problem turning it down. I'm so proud of myself. Ciao
until tomorrow.
