This Friday morning I once again led the ladies in our weight class; my partner in crime was out due to feeling slightly under the weather. My co-leader, Sybie, is our foundation and our counter; without her we are lost. It got quite comical today, normally I lead in the exercises and as we are doing a variety of leg lifts and then arm exercises, Sybil always keeps us in sync and on the correct count. However, whenever she is absent like today, the count is completely out of sync and we are drowning in complete amokness. There I made up a word, we weren’t simply exercising amok, we were drowning in amokness.

I tell you, we, all to the one, said that we can’t allow Sybie to miss anymore days because we just can’t keep count. The primary reason is due to our insatiable need to solve all of the problems in the world, when we are busy doing that, how can any of us keep track if we are 7 or 14 repetitions on a leg lift? The girls know better than to look to me because I have been the worst at it since day one, I start counting and then someone distracts me with a question or a comment and before I know it, we might be at 12 but I am counting 6. Sybie, we need you, we can’t count.

The five fave foods you choose

You’ve being exiled to a private island, and your captors will only supply you with five foods. What do you pick?

I have always dreamed of having a private island, just not being exiled to one. I suppose that I would be in the company of a historic person, Napoleon. He wasn't happy in exile, I don't think that I would be either. I bet that he got more than just five foods to pick from and he probably got a chef to boot.

Five foods means five different food groups; fruits/vegetables, dairy, meats/fish, cereals and legumes. Since I haven't a clue as to how long I will be living in exile and if I get refrigeration, I would have to be savvy about my choices.

I don't like legumes to start with so that entire food group is out. Since I am operating on the assumption that refrigeration is out, I would be choosing smoke fish as my protein source. I love smoked salmon and smoked trout, any smoked fish really, they are all yummy. I love fruits and vegetables and if I was able to make myself a fire and I had any kind of cooking utensil, I would ask for ghee. Ghee is clarified butter; it doesn't go bad because all of the milk solids have been cooked away, so I would be able to store it next to my smoked fish and I could cook up some vegetables to eat and break up the monotony of a raw diet. I do love bread, so if anything was allowed for extravagance, it would be bread for me; either French baguettes or loaves of seeded rye bread. I am French, we need our bread.

I think that I have the five:

fruits

vegetables

ghee or clarified butter

smoked fish

bread

I think that I could manage quite nicely without starving or getting too bored with eating.
