The Great Taper Caper

NLBG in so-called taper mode for the week.

Food?
A veritable week-end gras: You see, it was the Festival of Chocolate at Central Market...chocolate samples galore -- from chocolate cherry cordial coffee to chocolate ice cream to Miles of Chocolate to, to...too much! Saturday found us having oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and chocolate covered strawberries. Definite need to taper sweets!

Exercise?
More encouraging than our weekend food excesses!

Friday: We both had great sessions with Sam. How does he come up with this stuff? He gets me to do things I can't even dream of and I find hard to describe. It always makes me realize how far I've come since my si joint freakout.

Saturday: 7 miles on the mountain bike

Sunday: five mile walk; we managed to do a very slow, very easy and relaxed jog for about 2 miles. Some hip flexor and hamstring tightness, but it felt really good! Most importantly, no si joint pain yesterday or this morning.

Remainder of the week should go something like this:
Today: walk
Tomorrow: walk or bike ride
Wednesday: Tai Chi
Thursday: walk
Friday: Sam
Saturday: off
Sunday: on verra bien!!

Hey, maybe we should have tapering accountability; I'm trying to ditch the late night 4th meal, which for some reason has become a prereq for falling asleep.
