Donuts and Deprivation

I was excited to wake up today and hit the scale. When I saw the unexpectedly low number, I ran to tell my husband and said, “I don’t feel deprived.” I mean that. As I was walking to WW, I passed Bob’s Donuts. I saw these monsters in the window and I was not quite disgusted, but perhaps moderately amused as I thought how each of these could probably feed a family of 13. I had no interest. I have a bigger goal in mind than the momentary pleasure a donut provides. Don’t get me wrong. I love donuts…I could wax nostalgic about donuts for pages and have often described them as my absolute favorite food. But right now, I’m in “the zone” and no donut is worth it. 

The Pyramid

Today’s high-water mark was actually a low-water mark: a walk down Columbus to loop around the Transamerica Building. I wanted to pass E Tutto Qua, praying for Paul Avvento’s recovery. Finished with a loop around Washington Square Park. 40 minutes and home by 7!
