Circulation

Circulation: the spread or transmission of something to a wider group or area.

That is the first of several definitions listed for circulation. It works doesn't it? I know it's talking about news or money, but I was thinking about using it in dieting. When I button my pants or shirt, if there is a restriction (belly) then the result is circulation? Fat is a mover...if you dam up one area it will flow to a wider area. This makes perfect sense. I think I'm losing weight, when in reality it's spreading to a wider area...so we coin the term "junk in the trunk".

I fell in the garage on Sunday afternoon. I found myself "criss-crossed apple sauced" on the kid's bikes. I was OK...thanks for asking. I may have harmed Bryce's bike. The kick-stand was implanted on my right hip. The kids jumped out the car and compassionately asked if I was OK. They were worried. It was so sweet. They were genuinely worried about their dad. When Michelle and I do something dumb or careless we have the "one minute rule". It's an unwritten rule that all married couples should have. This is how it works: In the first minute following an "incident" there is no laughter.

This allows your partner to show concern for a moment and act as though they are sad that this happened to you.

I made my way to the car assuring the kids that I was fine, while Michelle held in her laughter. This time I began laughing before she did. The moral of the story? Because of proper circulation I was able to avoid a long-lasting injury. My "cushion" was sufficient for the fall.

Hot out of the oven cinnamon and orange rolls. Really, there is no question about whether or not I ate one. The question is how many? One Orange and one Cinnamon (they were small). Also...a pastry chef must taste them before they are given to the general public...I have my dad's reputation to uphold. Lunch was leftover pizza from Domino's. I did well at supper. It was Hibachi style shrimp and rice. Good stuff.

Instead of having seconds, I had another orange roll.

Oh come on...you could resist? I've got to tell you...those orange rolls are a piece of work. I love them. It's all about good and bad decisions. I'm just presenting you with my struggles.

The good news is Michelle and I walked last night. I struggled up the hill...the kickstand hip was sore. I was right...I gained a pound. I can do that, you know? I can gain a pound a day or lose 2 lbs. a week. Both scenarios are impressive.
