It’s a beautiful day and it looks like the weekend will be wonderful. I am lucky to get a four-day weekend - at least officially, although I do have to meet with some volunteers on Monday.
There is no way I am going to be able to stay lo-carb tomorrow and Sat, but by Sunday I should be back on track. I will be essentially camping in a sailboat in drydock while I help out with the spring prep. It will be fun, I think, but since I am not in charge of the food I know it will be a bit iffy. That’s ok, I will definitely be working it off sanding a big hull and climbing up and down the ladder.
I seem to be losing about .2 lbs a day, or 1.4 lbs a week. Imagine if I added exercise or cut back on the red wine?
Happy stuff points in my life today:
- Son #2 is coming on Sat for a visit, I don’t get to see him very often
- Son #1 is keeping his life on track and doing very well in school
- I have a job, a home, a truck and happy pets
- Everyone I love is healthy
- Lots of people love me
Every so often I have to do this to help me keep things in perspective, especially when that ball of stress starts to condense in my mid-section, and that nasty negative voice gets too loud. Insomnia seems to be back again, this is not good either. I know, I know, exercise will help…I will just have to bite the bullet and start it up again. I know that once I get past the first couple of sessions I will fall in love with it again.
Waiting for the furnace guy to show up. I can’t wait past 9:30, I have to go into work. It’s already 9 and he was supposed to be here at 8am. I guess I could do something productive, like ironing, while I am waiting. That would be a great way to start the day (said with irony, get it? hah I am so funny without enough coffee - look, there’s more. Ok stop).
Scale is moving slowly in the right direction so I changed the ticker. This despite the chicken wing blowout with Son #1 on Sunday. We were celebrating the end of classes for him; I COULD have had a salad or something like that but what the heck. He said he never sees me ‘indulge in bad food’ except when we have chicken wings. I said he’s not really paying attention then, is he?
Son #2 is supposed to be heading home for a visit before he starts his summer job. Unless he sells it in the next few days, I am getting his motorcycle. YAY. I am very excited. While he is here I will make a big turkey dinner, which means I better check to see if the oven still works. I can’t remember the last time I used it. (I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning, just not as it applies to me…lol)
This weekend I am planning on getting the bicycle out too. I really am feeling so guilty about taking the truck to work every day. It is such a short drive, there is no reason why I can’t walk or bike every day. Even when I have meetings downtown I could bike it - nothing is more than a 20 minute ride away. Pure laziness is my only excuse.
I had a fantastic weekend. I went flying in a really beautiful really small plane, and I even got to fly it for a bit! It was amazingly fun. Pilot was pretty cool too…:)
The last 2 days I have slipped a bit off the low carb wagon, because I couldn’t make it home for lunch and grabbed sandwiches along the way. First off, Quiznos beef sandwich, large - 1,375 calories. !!! How is that even possible??? 103 grams of carbs!!! And it wasn’t even very good.
Yesterday it was a lunchtime sandwich and some really bad snacky food at a work function, but that’s ok, today I am back on track. All that stuff made me feel really tired and bloated and ill. Scale did move slightly this week, we’ll see what happens next week.
