Remembering
I can’t get started today w/o at least mentioning 9/11. There are a lot of people out there who are having a very bad day today since this is the day the world as we all knew it ended. I wish everyone who lost a loved one the continued strength and courage to carry on and hope they have had all the love and support they have needed in these years following the horror. It affected us all in some way: I had a phone call from my best friend since kindergarten that morning (I’m orig. from Pa.) and literally all she could sob out before hanging up was, ” Turn on the t.v.; there are very bad things happening.” I used to be a MAJOR reader…..4-5 books a week; after 9/11 I couldn’t even pick up a book for a couple years; reality so awful makes fiction just not matter. I read now but it will never be with the same anticipation or enjoyment. I think all of us paid a price either small or large, tangible or intangible that day.
The week-end was super busy and I didn’t manage to get on here to blog yesterday either, except for a few quick comments on other blogs. Food hasn’t been bad, honestly it’s a blur. I know I didn’t meet my food variety quotas I had set–I think I had only one meatless day and maybe fish 1x….as with everything, will try harder. Exercise totals weren’t bad, but I didn’t nail everything there either…..at least I don’t think I did, my pedometer is off, I looked at it when I had a 1 1/2 mile total on the treadmill and it wasn’t even saying 1 mile and I only rode bike once…..rats!!!
Did gym yesterday 3hrs.: warm up stretches and exercises, weight machines; same as Fri. except I upped the triceps press to 100lbs., 2 mi. on treadmill. 12 1/2 min on the rower, then 40 min lite aerobics
Will start a new week today–yeah I know it’s Tues. and it doesn’t feel quite right but don’t want to wait til Sat. or Sun……
Food so far today: grapenuts flakes, v8, decaf tea, skim, grapefruit, handful of peanuts
Planned exercise for day: stationary bike

We kept the kids home that day, and kept wondering how come the president was no where to be found, to at least talk to us during those hours. Thank god for the mayor of New York. I had nightmares for weeks about my husband being on the answering machine and not being able to find the phone. He flies those routes frequently. - dritta
