I am now being joined in my morning jog-walks with my neighbor who is trying to drop some vacation weight. We hit the sidewalks and move to the park to do the exercise trail and all its stations, throwing in some jumping jacks for fun. We finished up in her driveway by hula-hooping(!) with her daughter's hoops. I don't know if this burns any serious calories, but it's silly and made us laugh.
Lunch, my only meal of the day, has been involving more fruit than is probably wise, given my sweet tooth. But it's strawberry season and my garden is just bursting with berries! The difference between now and last year is that I no longer dip them in whipped cream or roll them in sugar. Because I haven't eaten sweets in a spell, the fruit tastes sweeter plain than I remember it. Makes me wonder how many other fruits I've "ruined" by trying to improve them with extra sugar.
