Super Bowl Sunday

I have a jumble of thoughts in my head, most of them not very important. I have been using an on line calorie counter program for two weeks now. I'm doing my best to limit what I put in my mouth because I have to record everything, and I get the total and a grade every day. But yesterday was very hard. Sunday morning, after a slow start, we went to a nursery to pick up a shrub to replace one that died, then to the grocery store to replenish our supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. I read the paper over my light lunch, and by 2:00 I was ready for my exercise routine, about 30 minutes of physical therapy stuff, and then 40 minutes on the stationary bike. By 3:30 I was ready to sit in my recliner and watch the Super Bowl, but with my lap top and magazines on hand to keep my brain occupied. As a result, I missed most of the commercials. Yes, I forgot, the commercials are the most important part! The part everybody talks about the day after. I hardly ever pay attention to commercials. So this morning I watched a bunch of them on line. I needed to repair the gap in my cultural literacy! BTW I loved the beaver one, the Darth Vader kid, and the "House" spot that was a take off of the Mean Joe Green Coke commercial of years ago. I thought the half time show was fun to watch but not much to listen to. As I stated on Facebook "flashy, but lacking in musicality". I was rooting for the Packers, so the outcome was good. Here in Seattle we hate the "Stealers" as a result of the XL Super Bowl. But the whole time I sat there I wanted to eat! Where was my Super Bowl party food? In the evening we watched a PBS special on Nancy Reagan. It brought back unpleasant thoughts and memories. I was not a fan of Nancy or Ronnie. On the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birth, there will be more specials this week. I don't know that I will watch them. But Mr. President, you can rest in peace. Your legend is alive and well. This morning when I did my daily weigh in, I was down another pound. Victory for me!
