Sistah Pat

5:30 - Alarm worked fine this morning. I don’t know why it didn’t work yesterday. Got up about 30 minutes ago and went out to the spa. The house was a bit chilly and I wanted to warm up. The cat went out with me and perched on the corner of the spa cover and was enthralled with the bubbles. Weird cat. I was more enthralled with the quiet and the moonlight.

Scales are showing 171 this morning. Bah, humbug! I’m not really worried about it. I have seen the 160s, girls, and they are in my future. Course it might help encourage them to stick around if I did a little exercise. Supposed to meet Pam at the gym for water aerobics this afternoon. That ought to help. I sure wish I could get back to my treadmill routine but my entire schedule is out of whack and I’m in an adjustment period. I could find the time but it just doesn’t feel right. Gotta work on that.  I don’t do much of anything for the first 30 or 40 minutes after I get out of bed but drink coffee and try to wake up.  DH says I should try to workout then.  HA!  At that time of the morning, lifting my coffeecup is a workout.  I get home in the afternoon and the sun is hitting the side of the house with my treadmill and that room is too hot for a serious workout.  Then I get caught up in fixing dinner and running errands and the next thing you know, it’s bedtime.  Cooler weather is just around the corner and I can see myself coming home from work and going upstairs to my workout room but I just don’t see it right now.  Maybe I should get my bike out of the shed.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments yesterday ladies!  We’ve given those 60s a warm welcome so I know they’ll be coming right back.  In the meantime, it’s off to work!  Wanted to figure out how to upload pictures in this new format so I had Andrew take a pic of me as I head out the door.  Think he snapped it about the time I was ready to give up.  I had a nice smile for a few minutes there.

Yo, ho!  Yo Ho!  It’s off to work we go!

4:30 - Okay, added the other picture that Andrew took this morning.  I look a little bit friendlier but notice how much nicer I look after work!  By the way, I only did this because Little Sister is nagging me to death to post some pictures and I want to shut her up.  I don’t like to have pictures taken!  So, Donna, will you shut-up now?

5:45 - Didn’t go to the gym.  Pam has dinner plans and my tummy is messed up.  In fact, my tummy’s been upset for two days now.  I’m having chicken noodle soup and crackers for dinner.  Not diet by any means but it’s my “fix all, cure all, for anything that ails ya” dinner for upset tummies and, yes, Jamie Lee Curtis, I’ve been having Activia for breakfast for two weeks and it hasn’t helped.  Liar!
