Last night my lovely boyfriend Michael took very good care of me! The second I got home, I got in my jammies, elevated my ankle and iced it. Michael is a wonderful caretaker. When I'm sick or hurt he always takes care of me. He fixed dinner: left over steak grilled up, potatoes and onions and a spinach salad. He refused to let me help and insisted I sit down the whole time. :) And later I found out HE was even injured as well! He pulled his hamstrings (pretty badly) on his last bike commute. Poor guy. :(Breakfast this morning was Cream of Wheat. Snack will be a banana and I have a grapefruit for this afternoon.
Fun tidbit: A coworker who is running the Portland Marathon this year told me something amazing! Apparently if you run and finished the San Francisco Marathon, you get a pedicure AND a necklace from Tiffany's! Wow!
I wanted to share something that happened recently and was really puzzling! I had my snacks on my desk (apple and an orange) and a coworker asked me if I was on a diet. I said not really and asked "Why?" slightly confused. He said that he noticed my apple and orange on my desk. I was left feeling completely baffled as to why eating fruit would mean I was on a diet. Do people really assume diets = fruits and veggies?
QUESTION: Even when you're not "watching your weight" or actively trying to lose weight, are fruits and veggies part of your regular day??

Cute photo of you two!
ReplyDeleteI never seem to have a hard time with having veggies as part of my daily routine- it's the fruit that somehow seems to go by the wayside! I try to make sure I get it in a breakfast but sometimes I'm just not feeling it.
@Kat - Thank you! It was taken last spring during a hike.
ReplyDeleteI have the opposite problem--I can eat fruit at every meal but struggle to fit in enough veggies. My solution to that has always been to eat a big salad with dinner.
