Any good plan is often flawed in implementation however, the important thing is to stick to it and roll with what unfolds. I spent the past few day fighting off a lovely cold in combination with work and home stress which resulted in feeling like the world's challenges just might be too much. After a few days and a couple of nights of good sleep I realized what a huge ninny I was being (literally and figuratively) and devised some schemes to make it through the various challenges and have some fun in the process. Through all the sniffling and sneezing I managed to stay the course and get in pushups, situps and walking with Wally. So the streak lives! Not the stellar end to January I had planned but today I redeemed myself and ran for an hour along the Vancouver waterfront with Wally prancing happily at my side.
A difficulty on the diet front: Grandma is entirely too excellent of a cook. Last weekend was National Pie Day. Which I do not think she knew until Uncle Nels told her but she still had a peanut butter pie and two types of berry pies on the counter. They are entirley too excellent to pass up and I suppose why should we? I hope a balance can be found between being 30lbs overweight and wanting to lose it yet still getting to have some pie now and again. In an effort to curb my dessert craving in the evening I purchased some Skinny Cow ice cream. Although milk from a skinny cow just can't be as tasty. Oh what a lame joke.. I must not be all the way recovered or perhaps it was just too full of a day for this old lady....
