Weight's a little down today at 142.6. And I slept a full 8 hours, which was wonderful.

Yesterday turned out to be a down-energy day, thanks to too little sleep the night before and a flat mower tire. Consequently, I napped a good deal and didn't make all my steps or water. But this morning I'm feeling much chippier.

That big black bean "burger" salad was on the menu again yesterday. I'm so enjoying that.

Here in the Ozarks we're not getting any Colorado snow, but overnight we did have some April showers. Today will be sunny with a high of 59.

Today there's a community luncheon to benefit the local college library. I've already planned my outfit. Turns out it's a good thing I didn't toss all the big size 8 and small size 10 slacks. Those will see me through this losing-the-regain period.

With the upcoming writing workshop in mind, yesterday I did a writing exercise and planned some other exercises. In my experience, building a writing habit is just like building any other habit - you start small, write every day, and gradually increase the time you devote to it. Quantity first, quality later, i.e., pages first, editing second.

This week's theme/mantra: "I take good care of myself."

It is Friday isn't it????

Calories 1520. Arghhh... not out of control but I couldn't resist having a piece of pizza I didn't need. Like Cecily, I need control over my eating to feel like I have good control over my life. Back on the wagon today...

Today it will be 90 and we are going to Boca Grande where the beaches are like the Caribbean. Reminds me of Aruba where DD is currently vacationing (and I will be in June).

Oh and DS took a new Executive Chef job near us on Cape Cod so he will be staying at our house for another 15 months. Probably just as well with DH's issues. Though I sure wasn't an empty nester for very long. The new job is more money and a step up in terms of responsibility, so it is a good move. He is dreading giving his notice today and is afraid the owner will refuse to give him the 2 quarters bonuses owed him.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Oh, RATS! Yes, it is Friday. Liz, I'm going to start a new thread titled Friday, so maybe you could insert your post above to that new thread, too, so as not to confuse the hell out of everybody.

Sorry about that, folks.
