      Great article, Helene. I like the "agnostic" approach to diet.

      I agree, Mr. F. When I was in my 20s, I followed Weight Watchers diet, and it worked wonderfully because WW doesn't forbid any food group. It also teaches how to eat more fruits and veggies. For example, I learnt to cook less rice by adding veggies such as broccoli or carrots in the rice.

      Kind of like "all things in moderation." I have cut out doughnuts, period. When I couldn't drive last fall, I couldn't go to the Kwik Trip for a newspaper every morning -- and the 3 for a dollar blueberry doughnuts. I was forced to do without and now I don't even miss them!

      Same here. Last time hubby went on a business trip, I bought myself some ice cream (Haagen Dasz chocolate with chocolate chips) and I didn't even enjoy it! Ended up throwing half of it in the sink. One can change one's diet because taste and preferences can be changed. These days I have more pleasure eating an apple or a banana than eating ice cream or even chocolate!

  2. RUN
    great The TC 'hood 9 mi 01:25 09:26 pace

    Ran twice past the spot where I fell, nearly three weeks ago, and nothing happened! Yeah! More muggy weather and more gusty winds.

      Nice running! One of those times when 'nothing happened' is a good thing.

      Thx everyone! And Rick, a lady doesn't spit, curse or flip you-know-what :-) But I couldn't help but laugh when I saw a sign saying "Caution" in big black letters on yellow freshly painted on the sidewalk. Too bad they put the sign at the bottom of the hill, because I fell going down from the top of the hill :-)

  20. walk
    good Walking with Mike 2 mi 00:35 17:30 pace

    I ended up walking with my buddy Mike. Overcast, kind of coldish at times, not surprising after last night thunderstorms (and tornadoes South of the Metroplex).
