I used to have a good friend, called gym Jim.  We were pretty close, I saw him almost every day.  But lately we have grown apart.  With my sister’s visit, the new puppy, and just the daily grind, I haven’t been visiting him very often.  And the thing about Jim is, you see, he plays hard to get.  If I don’t go to him, he definitely won’t come to me.

Breakfast:

Sometimes I get mad about having to do all the work in this relationship.  But after I go see him, my anger disappears.  I guess it’s not really one-sided, because after I see him I feel so good. 

Mid-morning snack:

Personally, I think I get more out of the relationship than he does.

Lunch:

I just show up and leave him with some sweat and the memory of my kick-ass workout.

Snacky 1:

And the question as to whether or not I will be back to see him tomorrow.

Snacky 2:  POM charoset made with blood oranges instead of apples.  Had to use those babies up.  And it was good!

Ok, I guess what with a substitution of POM for wine/grape juice, and blood oranges for apples, it’s not really charoset at all.  But I love charoset and it reminds me of my childhood, plus it is Passover, so I’m rolling with it!

Dinner:  homemade pizza with TJ’s whole wheat pizza crust

Dessert:  protein cottage cheese cheesecake.  Haven’t had this for a while, an oldie but goodie.

Sorry for my long absence, Jim.  It was nice seeing you today.  And I will be back soon, I promise.  Maybe not tomorrow, but soon. 

And once S’s family leaves in a week and a half, you and I will be best friends once again.

Kay?  Thanks, Bai.
