Angel Food (lowfat)

It feels absolutely blissful not to be counting WW points. I am steadily losing pounds (well, okay, ounces) this week and no longer feeling like everything I eat will have a negative affect on my diet. On my other blog (see the blogroll), I wrote today about a West Indian Vegetable Curry that I’ve been eating all week. It is wonderfully tasty, healthy, and low in points for those who care. I do care about how the food I’m eating will impact my overall health. More important to me, however, is that what I eat tastes good. The stuff I was starting to eat while still on the WW flex plan was as interesting as cardboard, tasteless but low in points. So, I’m enjoying my meals again. Enjoyment, in turn, leads not to overeating but to true satisfaction with my diet.

So, with my diet in a happy place, I’m going to try to get my exercise routine into a happy place, too. It has been in a decidedly unhappy place lately - actually, in a non existent place. My week’s photography assignment is finally finished and under control, meaning no more getting home after midnight this week, so I’ll be heading to the gym after work. It will feel good to jolt the muscles out of their rusty confinement. They’ve been aching after I’ve spent 11 hours over the past two nights standing in the photography lab. It is as my muscles are practically shouting to me, ” we need to be stronger, make us stronger.” So, I’m gonna try.
