MAZEL TOV, SARA!

It is done. My daughter is Bat Mitzvah. She did a fabulous job during the morning Shabbat service at our synagogue in front of her family and friends.  Everyone was amazed with her style and poise.  During the afternoon, nearly 40 kids did some 'serious' partying.  They danced.  They played games.  They took photos of themselves in a photo booth.  They were treated to a 'chocolate fountain' that Sara said was a unique touch that she had not seen at the various Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties that she has attended during the past year.  It was so interesting to hear 30+ speeches given by her friends.  It served to remind me that my little girl has a life of her own, outside of her home that I only know about in small snippets. My little girl is growing up.

Yesterday, was not a day for exercise.  And it wasn't a day for eating particularly well.  And today, is not a day for a long blog.  So, I am going to post 'more or less' what I ate yesterday and call it a day. See you tomorrow!

TRUE MEANING OF BREAKFAST

The word 'breakfast' was created from two smaller words: break & fast.   I checked my dictionary and  'fast' is defined: 'to abstain from food.'   In this context, the word 'break' is defined: to end. Ergo, breakfast is the ending of the abstention from food.   In my previous lifestyle which ended way, way back on December 24, 2014 I would think nothing of having a snack at 11PM, or Midnight, or 1AM in the morning.  My overnight 'fast' could have been as short as six hours.  I am usually an early riser, so no matter what time I had eaten the night before, my day would start with an extremely non-nutritious 'breakfast.'   If I could go back in time and visit my former self sitting down to a 'breakfast' of two bagels, or two bowls of sugar flavored cereal, or two doughnuts... I might now say to myself, "I do not think this word, 'breakfast' means what you think it means." (Inspiration from this imaginary quote comes from Inigo Montoya in the movie,  'The Princess Bride')      Last evening, I finished my dinner at 7:00PM and now at 7:00AM the next morning, I am ready to BREAK MY FAST.   It is true that this chaffing dish of 'hotel eggs' might have looked less appealing to me a few weeks ago - I just spent 30 minutes in the fitness room walking two miles - I am hungry.   Bon Appetit.
