Sat 9 Feb

Nice to have one day in a week when you can sleep as late as you want and wake up because you're ready. I don't agree with the many articles that say it's important to get up at the same time every day and keep your sleep schedule consistent. I always feel better when I get as much sleep as I want one day a week. I suspect I would not thrive if I could (and did) sleep extra every day, but Saturdays are special. Baked a batch of decadent homemade brownies with pecans. I will cut 2-3 of them and wrap them individually for Grandma for Valentine's when I visit her tomorrow. I had two small squares to fortify myself before we go see The Hobbit in 2D soon. But I needed some ham, too, for a little bit of real food. Fun to see The Hobbit again, and I appreciated it much more in 2D. Food: 8:30 am Laura's oatmeal w/protein powder, 1/4 c fresh blueberries, flaxseed meal, soy milk, 1/2 grapefruit, 101 g blackberries, coffee 9:30 am Small 3" cannolli (leftover from Thurs night) 10:45 am 2 small raspberry mascarpone tartlets (also leftovers) 12:30 pm Vitamix smoothie w/1 c frozen mixed fruit, 1/2 med frozen banana, 1 container Roundy's 0% plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 c TJ's lemon ginger echinacea juice, slice Brownberry 100% whole wheat toast, 1 tsp soft margarine 3:45 pm 2 small pecan brownies, 56 g ham
