Thrown Overboard?

Well, right now, I am like a person thrown overboard and drowning underwater, with a red towel and my hand sticking up from under the water. No, not actually, but sort-of perhaps. Well, I'll just write out what today was like.

Breakfast at the Comfort Suites in Vancouver, Canada was a disappointment. All they had out were the following: toast, cereal, apples, real coffee (no decafe), and fake OJ. I had some cereal and toast.

Exercise at a fitness club in Vancouver - a 75 minute spin class followed by 15 minute weights-circuit training. Then, no food for hours (except an LA Weightloss bar) while my daughter and I were pampered in a salon - 30 minute back massage, nails for fingers and toes. We were there from 11:30 until about 3:30.

We then went to a Thai restaurant. Well, everything was fine up to here. Then - the mall! 4 small pieces of chocolate from one store, and then a specialty carmel apple covered with chocolate and a (about) 1.5 ounce piece of English toffee. Oh well. It was fun, but soon and very soon will be the end of this trip and the reality will hit - the scale at my house!!! Oh, so what.

I have three desires when I get home (many more, actually). First, to study the Bible and pray an hour per day, to exercise seven hours per week and keep my weight about 144 with a healthy, balanced eating pattern, (the weight by my home scale -which is about 149 for the LA weight loss scale). If I do those three things, I feel like I will have a balanced life. Well, time to press on!
