Yesterday was wonderful - spent most of it on the sailboat. It was a brisk but sunny day and we had it up to 6 1/2 knots (doesn’t sound like much; feels fast).
Early that morning we had what I will call the ‘mosquito massacre’. I had left a hatch open all night, as it was a bit stuffy, and around dawn the bugs came. Sailorboy apparently has a blood vendetta against mosquitos, and many were squished into the walls and ceiling. Little buggy smears everywhere. Totally yucky and very funny to watch…although it was made clear to me that I was not very supportive and next time he expects me to throw myself into the fray…:)
Food - ugh, don’t ask. Ditto exercise. Have to fix that. I know exactly what I need to do; I just don’t know why I am not doing it.
Well, today I walked to work, that adds up to about 45 minutes of walking a day. Reasonable. And since Son #1 is out of town this week, I will have at least 45 minutes each night - again, good. It’s the evening food load I need to really take control of, and being out of the house as much as possible helps. Oh, here I go on the merry-go-round again. Sigh.

Ooh, mosquitos are the worst. I got my first bite today!
WTG on the walking to work and adding to it tonight. The food part is the tougest for me, too, but I find that when I start off the day w/exercise it’s easier to stick to. Good luck!

Sounds like things are going well. I am glad to hear/read it.
Walking is good. Mosquitoes are not so good.
Cheers

The bug story seems funnier to read here in my bug-free house than it must have been to live. I just saw yesterday an article on mosquito-repelling essential oils that I meant to read - I’m sure you can find it on google (I think it was from Lifehacker).
Great job on the exercise
