Almost the end of the week.

I set my alarm for 7:00 a.m., with the intention of sleeping in this morning. I woke up before my alarm, and got up at 5:30. Went to the gym. Today was an easy day. Didn't really give it "my all", since I need some recovery time.

Walked to gym.
Treadmill warm-up - fast walking/slow jogging for 20 minutes
Abs exercies (sit-ups, oblique crunches, hanging abs (2 sets each).
Spin class w/Austin - 45 minutes (left early to get to work on time).

Unless I feel absolutely phenomenal tomorrow, I think I will take the day off.

Breakfast (8:45 a.m.) - 8 persimmons.
Lunch (11:00 a.m.ish) - About 3/4's of a bunch of celery, and 4 persimmons (there could have been 5 five persimmons, but I can only find "evidence" of 4).
Lunch II - 1 p.m. - Sucked the juice from valencia oranges (a four pound bag, minus 2 oranges).
3:00 - some fruit from a fruit plate (office party) - watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries (not a whole lot of fruit)
4:00 p.m. - 2 pounds grape tomatoes.

Today I gave a persimmon to somebody at work. I make it a practice that if someone comments on what I'm eating, and I have enough to share, I offer them one. Way to spread the fruit love! So I gave a persimmon to someone, who took it back to her desk. A few minutes later, she called me and thanked me, and told me it was really unusual, and that two other people who work near her desk had never tried one either, so they shared it! She said "so, thank you for enlightening our taste buds." Hehehe. So, I'm always glad to quietly spread the "eat more fruit" message. What better way than by being an example and sharing the wealth?

In the evening, I stopped by the produce shop. The last few times I went there, one of the cashiers kept noticing how I buy so many persimmons, and she kept saying she's been meaning to try them. Last time I was there, she said "I'm going to try one today!" So today, I asked her if she tried one, and she said she hadn't, but she meant to. So I gave her one, and she said, "I'm going to try it right now." She did, and she was like "oh my god! This is amazing! This is so good! I can see why you buy so many of them!"

So today was a fruit sharing day.

Went to bed at 7:30 p.m.
