Our indulgences experience was odd. I expected to be disappointed by my 400 calories of chocolate fudge brownie (my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor). I still enjoyed it, but the taste was definitely different -- it was really really bitter, very strange. Naty had some triple creme brie and a bottle of Woodchuck hard cider. She experienced the same level of extra sensitive tasting and also thought it was odd. All and all it was a good day.
P.S. I'm back on track with the jumprope, I discovered that I needed to keep my A.D.D. mind on something else entirely so that I wouldn't "over think" my skipping. I now jumprope to the sound of the Rat Pack. Whatever works, right?

Exactly. For jumprope you have to find "mu-shin"!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary! The mussels sound delicious. Interesting note on your indulgence, too. I've never thought of B&J as bitter. Wonder what part of your tongue (or corner of your brain) was processing that flavor.
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary guys! good work on the indulgence as well.
ReplyDeletejump rope, for me, is 90% psychological. find the flow!
August 25th is a good day to get married! (It's our anniversary too -- we just celebrated 9 years.) Sounds like you found a good way to celebrate!
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary! my first indulgence was weirdly unsatisfying too. good work finding a way to jump without overthinking - it's definitely a mind-game.
ReplyDeleteKim - bitter in a chocolate-y way, but definitely more bitter than sweet. i think i just over-tasted the chocolate which is obviously pretty weird.
ReplyDeletethanks for all the anniversary congratulations and overall support!
