Day Eighteen: Walking with a Friend

Today's nutritional triumph was resistance to some very delicious looking gourmet doughnuts that I bought for my office. It was a near thing on the fig and goat cheese doughnut, not to mention the maple bacon one. But I walked away--go me!

I got a little treat today, too. My friend Sonya came into the office and went walking with me at lunchtime. I went a little bit of a shorter distance to accommodate her schedule and because I knew I'd be going to Zumba later, and it was totally worth it for the company. It made me think about when I lived in New York, and I used to work out every day with my friend Rita--sometimes I really miss having a partner.
