"What? How could I have gained weight! I've been doing so good!" |
Today is Fat Tuesday. I have no idea why there is a holiday that celebrates fatness, but if there ever was a day to get your inner-glutton on today would be the day. Linda said it has something to do with a parade in New Orleans where you wear crazy makeup, costumes and throw beads up in the air. Here in my home town, I would like to celebrate it by eating some extra cookies and a whole slice of cheese! No can do says Linda. We need to keep eating healthy so we live long and stay strong. My added pound and a half is terrible for my knees and breathing spasms. Linda feels ridiculously better when she eats healthy. For instance, this morning she had an 8 oz. protein shake (which turned out to be not to be big enough to fuel her through her tough class) and this was lunch:

Roasted veggies and a sweet potato |

So delicious and healthy! (She'll need to have another protein shake as a snack a little later since there wasn't any included in this meal.)
