Ack! I really, really hate this cold weather. I've already been changed over to spring, and it feels icky. Oh well. I was in a rotten mood, and decided only a walk would do. So I braved the breeze and gave myself a half-hour of foot-powered attitude adjustment. It worked.

I'm also sipping a cup of hazelnut decaf, which works, too.

I need to get a good night's sleep.

It's not just cold in OK and KS, it's cold here, too. The wind is so bad that it blew the blankets off the plants twice already. Today is yoga day, so I didn't take another day from exercise. And Barb, yoga is always good to calm the mind.

BTW, ever since you made the comment about # of calories a few days ago, it seems like mine have been up. I have almost an irrational fear of regaining weight. So far, so good.....

Let's see...it's Tuesday, right? Sometimes I get ahead of myself.

The 3 lb. drop has continued, and I assume it is a permanent loss. Good. Maybe my theory will work out. At any rate, I'm at least holding, and that's better than where I was headed a few weeks ago.

Cold today, but sunny. Good for a long walk.

Nice weather here again today..........supposed to be awful for the next few days though. Hard to get a string of more than two good walking days.

We had wind, too --- but can't touch your problems. Our sirens just went off for over 30 minutes. The system was already past before they started.

No official walk for me today either. I did get lots of steps and a whole lot of upper body movement. Painting will continue tomorrow. I have to take time out Monday morning to go to a funeral. I hope by Tuesday that we have the wood all done. The walls will easy after doing all the windows and trim.

Judy,
I noticed an obit in our paper today, that said services in your town tomorrow. A Mrs Marshall, and I believe she was a teacher.


We've had a wet and soggy Easter Day, but we sure needed the rain; so...no walk for me.

today's #s:

• 1467 calories
• 92g fat
• 88g pro
• 86g carb...berry mania...again
• 27g fiber
• 59g net carb

down a pound this morning, very much to my surprise.
we'll see if it sticks.

total April fitness miles still at: 29.23 miles
maybe I should just count my total step miles in addition to the fitness miles.
I sure look like a slug when I don't get to walk!

Glad you reminded me to look at the obits. A friend's mother died on Friday and the funeral is tomorrow with burial in Okemah, OK. I need to save the clipping for her. I do hope the weather is nice. That is going to be a long drive for them. I looked up the person that you referred to --- she was a doctor's wife and civic volunteer.

Today's weather wasn't at all nice for us. Luckily the worst of it came just after church started and was over by the time church ended. The rest of the day was yucky and cloudy. No walking today --- more painting. We should be well on our way to having the room finished tomorrow. The woodwork is all done with two finish coats on everything. We aren't good enough to paint without taping, so that job may fill a big part of the day tomorrow. I am thrilled to be this far along.
