Saturday night I had an unexpected and very fun outing with my voice teacher
Today I saw the Mime Troupe for the fourth or fifth time this summer, this time with my boss
Also this weekend, I did a lot of cooking, some shopping and cleaning. All of which may sound mundane, but Ziggy's been doing the vast majority of these things, which was supposed to change when he went back to work at the opera but didn't due to my lethargy. Fortunately my boost in energy coincided with Ziggy working 14 hour days and getting ill (a rarity for him) to boot. I made no fewer than six recipes this long weekend, all of which I've had before but the point is that they're all healthy lowfat vegan meals that fill me up and give me more positive energy. I picnicked on potato salad and chickpea-cucumber salad at the Troupe today, and made some curried brown rice soup tonight which I'll bring with one of the salads for lunch tomorrow.
I'm hoping that with the healthy food and some additional exercise I can finally lose the weight that's steadily piled back on since the wedding, and ideally get all the way back to what I consider my healthiest weight of 125 pounds. Ziggy has been making much more progress toward health than I, making his own wheatgrass juice every morning while I eat cheese sandwiches and Coke and pop tarts from the vending machines. No more of that crap. I may not be ready to commit to 100% veganism or half-marathon training again right now, but I am certainly making steps back toward health.
