Fitting it all in

Exercise and eating right, especially when it's for the entire family, requires an almost hyper-awareness.

Or maybe, it's just hyper to begin with. Saturday, we got K and C up first thing in the morning, even before breakfast for a run on the track. The kids did two rounds, T did four and I ploughed through my six. But while I did that, they played dodge ball - and kept the movement. Interestingly, we tried something different at our usual Pepperoni pizza haunt dinner, cutting down our usual order to just two linguini vongoles, a salad that everyone shared - and not two but one pizza - with no apparent feelings of the lack. At Estivo, instead of each of us getting one serving, we shared two servings among the four.

Sunday, T didn't have the heart to wake them again - so it was just the two of us, doing the six - before breakfast and before an intensive Mandarin session. And at lunch, instead of parking right where we were going to eat - we parked two malls away - and walked through Raffles City and Citilink to Marina Square for lunch, and then walking back. C even reminded us to take the stairs instead of the escalators so we worked harder. And as all the books advise, we kept dinner light - just soups at the Kopitiam in VeloCity.

Onward ho.

Noelle,

I love the new blog updated format. and Love the pics of everyone. We are back in the US now, trying to get used to a whole different life again. It's so quiet here, so very quiet. And yet we can't sleep.

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.
