A belated Happy Birthday to
@dsnyfn1022!! Hope you had a great weekend!
And happy Monday to everyone else! Looks like we started winter hibernation early and no one posted here on Sunday!
I was horribly busy finishing a photo book for my DBF yesterday. I had a coupon for 12% off from the company I use and it was only valid until midnight yesterday, so a lot of time was spent on the computer... Those photobooks are lovely keepsakes. But they are so much work!
However, I did go for my run. Wonderful weather, sunny 55 degrees. So great for running. I ran 4.5km, so half a kilometer more than my other runs so far and the foot was fine. I made a program for myself for very slowly extending distance. I have decided to go purely by distance, not time as that will increase the number of steps I do and I figure every step is stress for my foot. So, by the middle of November I should be up to three runs a week with 4km again. And then I can slowly start to extend the long run on the weekends. However, the good news is that I got fitted for new inserts today and it turns out that my PT really helped in lifting my arches again, so I no longer have horribly flat feet. But I still have issues...
I also have a question for you all:
In November I am going to fly to Florida and on those transatlantic flights they still feed you. Nothing exciting, but ok. And a friend who is a vegetarian recently reminded me that you can order special meals. I looked into these and found two alternatives that sounded interesting.
One is a "fruit meal". I googled that and it seems that you are mainly just getting a large plate of food. I don't think that this will be a substantial enough lunch for me, but I could always just pack a healthy sandwich or so to eat with the fruit. And somehow a whole bunch of fresh fruit just sounds far more appealing than the normal pasta dish with tiny salad, a piece of cheese and a tiny piece of cake. Especially on such a long flight (10.5 hours) the fresh fruit does sound very good. And if I brin my own lunch, I am free to eat it whenever I am hungry, not whenever they choose to feed me.
The other is called "reduction diet". It is described as "Calorie-reduced meals, rich on dietary fibre, low on fat and carbohydrates". I read one description of it that I found online and it sounded like a nice healthy meal. However, I have to confess that I am a bit picky and not sure if I would like everything that could be served. Most likely it would be some plain chicken with veggies and brown rice or something like that. No cake, but fruit for dessert. The advantage is that I would not need to bring anything. On the other hand, I might not like what I get and then I would still be hungry.
So, what is the general opinion around here? Which of the two meals should I order?
