Hi all and thanks for all the belated birthday wishes. So far, it doesn't feel any different.
Tonight, Rich and I are taking mom and dad out to dinner for mom's birthday. It's a local place, very posh, and has wonderful food so I might be in a little trouble. Last Saturday, I weighed in with a 2.8 lb. gain.
But so far this week, I've been behaving. I'm going to be good today so I can maybe have dessert tonight. I'm also planning water with dinner and keeping the alcohol to one glass of wine. Let's just see how I do.
I've started my 40th year (Or is it my 41st? I forget how that works) with a new resolve. Last night I walked not quite a mile to the card store to get a b-day card for mom. Of course, when I came out of the store, it was pouring, teeming rain. I got a little "moist" by the time I got home.
But it was a warm rain and I had to see the humor in it. It felt (this is going to get a bit mushy...) good to be alive! Ahhh. Just had to stuff the card bag into my pants
to keep it out of the rain.
Speaking of pants, the pair I wore to work the breakfast at the VFW on Sunday felt loose and uncomfortable. I was grumbling about grabbing the wrong pair (the larger size) until I realized that I hadn't!!! I had on the smaller size and they were a bit loose!
Whoopie!!! Nothing like that to set me on the right path!!
The challenge comes this weekend when Rich is going up to Boston. I couldn't get time off from work so he's going up alone on Friday and coming back sometime Monday. I'll be all alone over the weekend and I know the pizza delivery numbers.
I need to think of things to keep me busy.
One thing I could do. The MS committee at the VFW (I'm a member) has been invited to the Adams Mark Hotel (very classy) for an award banquet in November. I could ... SHOP!!!! Who said that??? Jo??? Shopping!?!? Well, I certainly need a new outfit. Problem is that it's more than a month until the banquet. Who knows how much weight I could lose by then. Well, I can look anyway, right?
Well, I should run now. Nice to see Jo still has her long rambling posts, eh? Some things never change.
Hope you all have a good day.
Much love, Jo.
