Not as sad

It's been a rough week. We're at the 1 month mark with Dolores being gone from our lives. I think we're both doing better. We're not as sad, but Sundays seem to be a hard day for us.

I met for lunch with my good friend, Joyce today. We always have a great time talking about everything. Her brother passed away recently so we discussed our sadness and the importance of forgiveness. Joyce is always very positive even in the midst of sadness, so it was very helpful for me to be with her today.

I ordered a Julienne salad which was really good. I took half of it home. I ordered a Turkey club sandwich for Aaron. For dinner tonight I made chili with 92% lean ground beef. It was very tasty and healthy.

We're feeling heavy again and in need of some good old fashioned exercise. I'm going to walk and will also resume doing yoga. Aaron still needs to decide what exercise he will do for weight loss.

Today Joyce shared with me how she bakes a chicken. She rubs lemon juice all over the chicken inside and out, then salts and peppers all over inside and out. She puts the lemon rinds in the cavity of the chicken with some cut up onion then she sprinkles paprika over the outside and bakes it until it's a golden brown. That sounds so yummy, I think I will try it next weekend.

I may not be back in the saddle yet, but I've got my boots on and the horse is ready to go at least!
