Choices

I'm still getting out on the bike, but I also test-drove an upright bike today. I will wait several weeks before I make a decision, but I want options if the learning and fitness curve is such that it will interfere in the pleasure of riding. Time will tell.

I had lunch with old friends today, and one of them is retiring and moving away. I will miss her honest straight forward friendship and her no bullshit way of dealing with the board (we are long time union buddies!). I made a really great choice for lunch that was also easy to track.

It never rains, but it pours! I also had supper out tonight with a woman whose son I used to work with. She is a remarkable woman and parent, who has inspired me almost as much as her son. However, history dictates that we always go to the same Chinese food place for buffet. We have tried several other places over the years, but she really likes this place and I don't care enough to force her to go elsewhere. However, much harder to measure calories. I had lots of veggies, some steamed shrimp and small amounts of chicken and pork. I'm happy with my choices and my closest estimates put me about 50 calories over. I always try to overestimate, so I'm good with that.

Thanks for good friends. Thanks for good food and occasional treats. Thanks for a wonderful week with Em. Thanks for choices.

Love, elly
