EAT MORE OFTEN

Okay I will get right on that! That is this week's challenge. Eat five squares a day. One must plan to eat smaller main meals and throw in two or three well balanced, well timed snacks. One must plan and prepare ahead so you know what and when you are eating for that day.

Okay this is beginning to remind me of watching Dr. Oz. I would love it if someone would go through all of his shows and list all the suggested changes in diet, supplement suggestions, exercise regimes etc…and just see how many hours in the day needs to be devoted to all those healthy ideas. I suspect it would be a full time job.

This stupid book is beginning to feel the same. I just don't want to make any more 'rules for living'. Every single 'self rule' you make, you have to police it and dedicate yourself to keeping it in practice. Oh and laugh crazily the whole time your doing it. But I am going to continue to post the challenges until the end of the year.

Yesterday morning we did nothing. Perfect morning! Around noon we left to go to Lahaina. We did drive around the upper part of Lahaina and did some lookylooing. Then we went back to Kim's Jewelry store and took another look and bought a few things. She is such a delight. She was originally from Viet Nam and she told us all about her awful awful mother-in-law. So funny!

We did some more shopping on the way back to where we left Spod parked with his book. And he wasn't there. JEEZ!! Fortunately there was a low stone wall nearby to sit on. I plunked down and told Cookie I wasn't moving until he showed up. There was no way I was going to go looking for him. A few minutes later (lucky for him) he drove by so we hopped in. He had to find a bathroom…of course. Oh well.

Last night we ate fish sandwiches for dinner..so lame. I had two salmon patties left over so I threw in a can of tuna with them and onion and relish and tarragon and mayo…whomped it up, toasted some buns (sooooo happy to have a broiler…gas stoves are big time on my shovel list) and it was delicious. We then watched Amazing Race, made very critical judgemental comments about the racers we don't like, hahaha, and Cookie went to bed and read for a while and I watched Good Wife. A very 'nothing' evening!

Now its morning, and we are going to hit the Hana road. We are only going as far a Nihiku, where George Harrison's church is then back the same way. No pics yesterday to speak of so some random, mostly loser pics over the last month. TTYL
