As many people know, today was the first Domania walking group outing. While this kind of trivial detail can seem pathetic on the pages of a blog, it was in fact quite nice and not at all pathetic. Unless you count me, the absolute tail on the pack of five employees, huffing for the whole 30 minutes. I never felt like I was going to pass out, but I must say the sensation of walking for that long felt pretty foreign. I am most grateful to my comrades for supporting me and not poking easy fun as I waddled my fastest waddle to keep up with them. The walk from leaving the office to coming back was about 30 minutes. We hope to go 2x a week. I hope the weather will cooperate—I think we got the nicest day of the week on the first go-round. I think if I wear a med-alert tag, I could probably walk it on my own. I might have to if I ever want to eat pizza again.
Breakfast
2 TB
2 O.E. (both yolks survived)
Tea
Snack
Cheese Stick
15 Cashews
Lunch
3 RollMops Ham, Turkey, Pickle, Alpine Lace Muenster Cheese
Romaine Lettuce
Dinner
2 Small Sirloin Burgers with Carmelized Onions
Snow Peas
Salad with Feta
Dessert
Keep on Skippin'
I realized today that if my meals were slightly bigger, I'd be less hungry. Does that make me a meal-cheater? Three rollmops were a lot, and I found that I didn't need a snack until about 4pm. I was able to keep everything in check, felt a lot of hunger pangs and after another rockin' Emily dinner, I was able to skip dessert again in the bargain. I'm getting excited about the end of Phase One (for real this time, no extended plays) and to that end I am chewing a lot of Trident Sugarless Bubble Gum.
Though I have not been fanastizing about food—I did nearly swoon from the smell of corn chips the other day—though it must have been my imagination. I'm really, really looking forward to some yogurt and wheat bread—and if that means twice around the track for me, bring it on.

I am trying to "waddle my fastest waddle" up the stairs to get into bed because you're bothering me right now about curfew - but I am still laughing from the blog entry.
All I can remember is when I asked you if you liked to take walks - waaaaay back in the late 80's this question was posed - you responded with a curt "no". Then when I pressed you for a reason, you refused to weave an answer (now that's goin' ALL the way back - I bet Lurleen will understand the line, though). I believe you said that if you are going to walk, you generally like to walk TO something.
Guess yer walkin' TO get healthy hon.
Hurray for exercise and keeping up with the blog. Wonderful! Thanks to Emily too for helping by cooking dinners. Love to all. MOM
I always thought it was "she refused to even answer," not "refused to weave an answer." Alone, again; glad to meet'cha...
Happy to hear you're walking, Ob. Make friends with cruciferous vegetables and you'll be fit for life, as the title goes.

When Rob was little he thought it was ....Refused to weave an answer."
