Thanks Becky!!!
I am enjoying today too!!!!
Wow.. it feels like early Spring on Long Island today.....
Richard's at the park behind our place now and we had a late lunch of Subway today as a treat..
I didn't want any soda, but let him have a soda and a cookie..
I did a long and drawn out, and very energetically draining massage at my office today and didn't do any crunches yet, and probably won't today because I am off schedule..
That just has to happen pre breakfast.. Back to it tomorrow and Yoga at 11 am... with my LARRY!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Guru! I feel as if I shall die if I can't see you again!!!
LOL...
But today, I have tons and tons of cleaning to do here which I've been procrastinating on.. vacuuming etc..This place is a mess!!!!!!
The beautiful weather is allowing me to open up my windows and door for fresh air, which is so nice..
I ate my sandwich and chips sitting on my outside chair before and soaking in the sun... But I have to clean this place so there's no getting out of that...
Well here I go!
Wow.. Hope this weather becomes a trend...
Weird S note about yesterday....
I probably shouldn't do this, but usually on Fridays, we welcome the Sabbath in with some small S... So yesterday we shared two chunks of milk and white chocolate breakup from the chocolate store in town...
First of all, let me say, that just going in there made my head spin...
This place makes fresh chocolate daily... What an aroma!!!!!!!!
But the weird part was that when I got home and we split the chocolate, perhaps a 2 square inch piece of it for each of us, and ate it, I can't say that I was all too crazy about it... I must be becoming a real candy snob or something... It didn't taste very chocolatey, just like filler and sugar, and I almost didn't eat it at all after the first bite... I was like
Meh... big deal...
Then today, Richard got a stomach ache after I gave him a piece of bread with peanut butter and left over chocolate fudge... I didn't heat it up, and just smeared it on the bread like nutella or something...
He felt sick from it!!!
I think it's not the sugar at fault, since that doesn't happen with soda or ice cream, unless he eats/drinks a *lot* of it..
I believe it was because the fudge was actually made out of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which I've read is pretty nasty for the digestion... We don't use margarine or many products with a high amount of that, and I'm pretty sure it was that...
Come to think of it, when he had the fudge for the first time, about two weeks ago with the ice cream, he didn't even want to finish it, and neither did I, and he complained of a stomach ache then too, and nauseousness..
The other little NoS triumph that I wanted Richard to post on his thread, but he hasn't felt like writing, is that the other day he went with his Grandma for dinner and a special night out... It had been a really rough few days for us and he even had a minor incident in school which upset him a lot, so I told him, under the circumstances that he could have an S with Grandma when they went out... I had to work..
When I saw him later, he told me that they went to a diner.. I asked if he had any S's, since that place has lots of great cakes, pies, and cheesecake, but he told me that he couldn't finish his dinner, a hamburger and fries and a small hot cocoa with whipped cream, and because he was too full, he skipped the dessert....
Even with permission to "Ess" he just listened to his body and decided not to!!! I was really proud of him!!!
Part of me thinks this also has to do with our being somewhat programmed at this point, to eat S's on the weekends... It's like his body didn't really crave it during the week...
That's my read at least..
Okay... I'm really procratinating on cleaning, but there's only a few more hours of light here, so off I go!!!
Best to all!
Peace and Love,
