food slave

 
A tenderloin steak

Sauteed spinach with onions and steak

I ....was.... Spartacus!

But now I'm less and less a slave to food.

And now being in the kitchen is a delight.

Not "slaving" over a hot stove.... 

I'm learning - more like it's a classroom!

And not a chore at all.

It's all Fun and Games in the kitchen

till somebody gets hurt!

Looking a little like this guy here...

Except that my meals are TOO Spartan!

I'm ready for more.

The other day at work, I had a patient

who knew me 3 years ago.

So she can now see my weight loss.

She once said I was too wide to fit in a shower stall.....

even though it was 3 feet wide!

She's also the one who (then) asked me not to sit 

on her antique furniture.... I might break it!

Well, this lady looks me up and down.

Steps back, like she is looking at art in a museum.

Arms folded, one hand up to her chin - the "thinking pose!"

Then she tells me that I could use a little toning in my

upper arms, my butt and my abdomen. But over all, she says I did ok!

"A + !!" .... She asked how to get rid of abdominal fat. 

My answer was "If we knew that, we would know everything!"

A lovely sunset from the other day.

Tweaked/ enhanced a bit in iPhoto.

But, like in life, you can't give what you don't have.

The colors were always there - 

this just brought them out a little!

And made them more true to life.

Hope your weekend is relaxing!

And your food choices are nurturing!
