WRITING—last Friday was a writer’s day for me. It started as soon as I got back from dropping 
off my son at school. Since I work nights my Friday is the first day of the weekend. I had a whole long list of things to do. I made a decision to forgo the list and just write for as long as I could without interruption. I was surprised at how well this worked for me. I completed the rewrites from last Friday, edited the pages from my critique group, and produced several more pages of my own work. I am looking forward to working like this again.
DIET—there was no progress on this front. I am still struggling with which meal to
eat as dinner and which to eat as lunch. I make my family the evening meal at 11:30 in the morning and put it away for them to heat up later. I want to eat that meal myself while it is still hot. This works some days and not on some others. The problem is that some days I don’t cook until just before I leave for work and eating a big meat just before driving is not good for your digestion. And then if I take it to work to eat then I feel heavy and slow at work. I have tried several variations of what to eat but have not hit on the solution. Call it a work in progress.
EXERCISE—of course there was no improvement this week. Saturday morning after my
writer’s group meeting I stood at the same number as I did last week. In a surfing session on the internet I found this site. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/1-mile-walk/atcexz6c

In a surfing session on the internet I found this site. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/1-mile-walk/atcexz6c I was intrigued by the line that said you could walk a mile at home. I do not have long stretches of empty spaces in my house. I don’t believe many people do. I followed the link and started the video. I was pleasantly surprised by the simplicity of the steps and loved how you could do it all in such a small space. The best part of the whole thing is that I could do it in my bare feet. As I said before I am very flatfooted and have a hard time exercising in any kind of shoes. I recently read an article about barefoot runners doing marathons. I wondered if that would work for me. I have done this twice before now and was happy with the results. I just have to be careful of slippery surfaces.
