1. After my trip to Eugene and back, a couple of doctor visits, and a couple days of rest, I was back in the Fitness Center today. Stephen Fry joined me, reading me through my ear buds, a Sherlock Holmes short story, "A Scandal in Bohemia". I enjoyed its wit and its implausibility in much the same way I enjoy P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster stories. Holmes, like Jeeves, always has a scheme ready to go to solve crime or other problems and his nimble mind astonishes Watson in much the same way Jeeves astonishes Bertie.
2. I continued catching up on NYTimes Crosswords, not having worked any in Eugene. All I have to do is finish the Sunday, March 9 brain teaser and knock out March 10 and 11 when I wake up on Tuesday and I'll be back on schedule. Being "forced" to binge solve these puzzles has been fun.
3. I resisted! I didn't eat extra enchilada casserole! Debbie warmed up the leftover enchilada casserole from Sunday's dinner and the way was open for me to eat three squares of it. I resisted! I ate one square along with a small portion of rice and a dessert of a sliced apple with a little yogurt.
I can feel my resolve getting stronger again as I work on another phase of my recovery: exercise regularly, eat less but wisely, hydrate more, and get back to losing some weight.
