This morning I went for my orientation at the Wellness Center where Mark, Melissa (his daughter) and I just joined -- I'm so excited! If you haven't been there, it looks like it's a great to work out so at some point, I'm sure I'll get a shot of it. Didn't want to lug my digicam around and make people nervous my first real visit. I haven't been in a "real" gym in many years and I am amazed at the new gadgets they now have. For example, I tried out the bike. It is definitely NOT like the ones we had. LOL. It was really cool...they have virtual courses on the screen of your bike and you can race other bikers if you want. AND you can also watch TV or you can even play a video game where you're biking around capturing dragons. I can totally see how forty-five minutes can pass quickly on these. The other neat thing about the bike is that you actually have to change gears AND steer the bike with the handles. Cool! It was a lot of fun. After the cardio stuff, we checked out the weight machines and I now have a "plan" in place. I hope to feel and maybe see results in the next several months! I am so excited!!
A word on food...because other than feeling and being fit, if I stick to regular exercising, I can enjoy whatever food I want without too much deprivation. :) So last week while in Irving, we tried Best Thai off of MacArthur Blvd., near the office. I loved it! This is the yellow curry chicken and I loved, loved, loved the heart-shaped rice. Sweet. I have not seen anyone present rice that way so it really tickled me. The curry was yummy with carrots and potatoes. Nice flavor. Great eating. My friend Susan had the wonton soup and I had a small bowl to warm me up and next to Mom's, it was the best one I've encountered. Great broth and the wontons actually had tasty meat inside. I highly recommend this place.
