What a beautiful day on Long Island. I went to an outdoor fair with some friends – walked around for 2.5 hours! That’s a lot for me. My legs are definitely getting stronger. I’m very proud of myself. I ate a hearty breakfast at 9am. Then at 1pm (a little before we left for the fair) I had a PB2 & J sandwich with an apple. When we got to the fair of course there were dozens of food stations. The local fire dept. crew were grilling sausage and pepper heros, a local seafood restaurant sent over a crab / shrimp truck to serve kabobs, tacos, cocktails etc. There were fresh zeppoles and funnel cakes, every kind of dessert you can imagine, the hot dogs and burgers were grilling fresh, simply put, it was a typical Long Island food festival with some arts n’ craft vendors, rides and 5 ice cream trucks thrown in for good measure!
But guess what? I didn’t have a single thing
to eat – nothing. As we were leaving I spent $1 on a bottle of cold water to
support the boy scouts (and my thirst)! That’s it. I had a great time and it
didn’t cost me a single calorie. And believe me, some of my friends availed themselves
of the delicacies. But I just pressed forward toward my goals and finished the day
with 1595!
Yay! I’m not only getting stronger physically, but mentally as well.
It’s a great feeling to be in control. I’m even at the place where I can make
the decision as to when I’m going to ‘over-do it’ a bit – and can pre-plan for
it and my body and appetite seem to make adjustments in the days following. It’s
a great feeling indeed!
