What's Tilia?
I figured that anyone named Meri-Tuuli who lives in Finland would be prepared for nordic ski season!
I wonder if you live in a metropolis? any big parks? Any lakes? ponds nearby?
I bet you can find a place. I bet you can even find a buddy :)
Near me there is a park where they groom a nice long loop (15km?) and they actually have volunteers to light candles in the evenings on Saturday and Sunday when it gets dark so early. heck. it's the afternoon. isn't that romantic? skiing through quiet nature by candlelight?
I go really fast on the downhill, but only when I feel secure. I don't think those floppy boots and bindings would give me much confidence! oh well, at least I could "bail out" before I lost my balance!
I will try not to allow myself to sabotage the rest of the diet should I have an accidental treat. I like this book, because it says that we only have to be good dieters about 70-90% of the time. Perfection is not a good goal. So, I'll try and be a B+ dieter. No point in trying to go from a D to an A+ overnight. That would lead me to have shameful relapses. I know what I do in shameful circumstances. I comfort myself... Fast forward to the bottom of the pint of ice cream...
Well, So far so good, I have been feeling hungry at 3 hour intervals and eating a sensible snack when that happens, and a meal if it's mealtime.
bkfast was vanilla yogurt (lite) and fibrous cereal (good for the SNRI side effects I've got going on right now, anyways!)
snack was a mix of almonds, walnuts, a dried peach and some fibrous soy filled cereal crunchies (actually very tasty, but my description sounds awful!) about a half cup of that mix (handful)
lunch was lean cuisine cheese ravioli
snack 2 was a banana
snack 3 is a tangerine (presently undergoing a radical cosmetic surgery of having peel removed in one piece, and the entire fruity part consumed, to be followed by reconstruction of peel shape for the surgeon's personal amusement-- patented procedure by Li "tangerine spiral peel reconstruction")
Dinner will be another frozen dinner. (I need to do some shopping...!)
dessert (we get dessert every couple of days) is coffee flavored frozen yogurt. one glorious scoop, to be served in the loveliest dish I can find. savoring each and every bite!
And I walked 10,000 steps today (about 3-4 miles). yay!
