Waddle While You Work

My wife, the Wonder Woman, is an excellent baker, just like her mother before her, and on Valentine's Day Wonder goes wild in the kitchen. Over the weekend she made almond paste that was then added to her own special cinnamon rolls. Yum! And that's not all. She also made the world's loveliest loaf of bread and two kinds of cookies, plus gave me a small box of chocolates and a bunch of cinnamon gummy bears. I love gummy bears. Wonder spoils me rotten.

Now, after a day of rest, I am once again taking up my Gray Seals Younger Next Year campaign of an hour a day, six days a week of exercise. I may waddle a bit when I crawl onto the indoor bicycle this evening, but I will labor on until I burn up all these extra and well enjoyed calories.

The point is, no matter how disciplined we are, none of us will be perfect. Some days we'll eat healthy foods all day and exercise with precision and energy. Other days we'll fall short of the glory. No problem. The main thing is that we waddle over and get back on the bike.
