621 calories this morning on the elliptical, with thankfully no alarming angina, if it even was angina yesterday. There are many things that can mimic heart pain, I’m told by my nursing sister, Sadie. Anyway, this morning was pain free.
Eating breakfast now – brown rice, chicken, and some Chinese greens that resemble spinach. The greens came tied with a very interesting knot.
As an old sailor, I’m fascinated by knots, and this one is a beauty. Just pulling one end releases it. I managed to retie the bundle with the same knot. Not to complicated. In fact, beautifully simple.
Must hit the shower. Class in half an hour.
Okay, back from classes and dinner finished. Dishes washed. I’m feeling bored with this process. Not with the program. That’s obviously being very effective, and I feel skinnier every day. As we approach the halfway mark, I find myself really looking forward to week eleven, when all this patient care should pay off. I do feel like I’m halfway there. But I’m bored with blogging about it. This is getting tedious. One can only comment on diet details for so long before it all becomes a drag.
Dinner tonight was leftover barley and chicken drummettes with mushrooms added, plus a section of squash that Ruth mashed with tomato chunks and the last of the last batch of cottage cheese. All tasty.
You see what I mean? Boring. I’m going to have to spice this up with stories and anecdotes. Or simply stop writing sentences and start posting a daily list of details.
Today I was thinking about Amour de Cosmos while I put in my time on the elliptical. One of my heroes, except I don’t know much about him. Let’s see what Wikipedia says. Okay, he can stay as one of my heroes, even though he became a Mormon. But I do like the fact that he was an eccentric liberal reformer who changed his name from William Smith to an inaccurate translation of “Lover of the Universe.” Gotta hand him something for that.
I just had some skinless chicken breast strips as a snack, but no carbs. I think I should balance with carbs, so I’m going to have an orange right now. And then I’m for bed.
