I do miss cheese. I'm not quite sure I'd internalized quite how ubiquitous it is - not a salad on the menu at Firebirds today was without cheese of one variety or another. As I think about what I wish I could nibble on, it's certainly not the sandwich slices or even the melty deliciousness of mozzarella. Instead, I am daydreaming about a sophisticated cheese plate, with sides of fresh fruit and scintillating girlfriend conversation. Wine optional, though a deep rich Bordeaux could only enhance the situation.
Forgoing cheese for a while is worth it. As I was changing in the locker room at the Y this week, a group of young ladies from the swim team were also there. Their fit bodies were reminders of what I'm aiming for. Although I am 3x their age, and have no delusions of reachieving the body of a 14 yr old, I am optimistic that I have a better me inside ready to come out. Taming the raging sugar dragon is step one.
Speaking of sugar and the Y, my new friend Jill sent me an article this morning. It referenced an interesting and credible online resource Sugarscience.org. I've just started browsing it but hope to find more inspiration within.
My own little swimmers are done with their lesson, so time to head out :)
