309 15 min

We went to a Valentines Dance last night. Very sweet and fun. Poor Dave--he's a good dancer and he gave up dancing once he married me. Not that I deliberately prevent him, but I hated dances when I was young and never learned--with one thing and another we never took a couples class, and there just aren't that many dances for married people--or at least I've never thought to seek them out.  I need to make that right.

Anyway--back to counting points today. It feels nice. I do like having plans to choose from. It feels good to be able to eat anything I want and have fruit be free again. Today sounds just plain yummy. A raspberry muffin, banana and milk for breakfast, nachos for lunch with a little soup, a big reuben sandwich for dinner, and turtle cheesecake for dessert! I'm excited about the cheesecake. It's a Hungry Girl recipe and those receipes tend to be very good with a real concept of a portion. 1 slice is 1/8 of the cake. Yes! It's so irritating when a "serving" is 1/32 of the pan. Are you kidding?? Or the last pie recipe 1/10 of the pie? That's an ok sized piece, but who cuts a pie into 10th's?

For exercise today will be the longest run yet. 15 min. After yesterday's fiasco, I'm driving up to Beuss pond where I know it's flat to try this. I don't know about the running idea. I can feel that it's foolish with my knees, but I hate to quit. I'm just afraid one will blow out like it did in October, and I do have the 1/2 marathon coming up. I'll be walking that, but I'd like to think I'm building some muscle and endurance that will be helpful? I hope so.
