216.2 Slowly, slowly trending down....

Liz, if all went according to plan you are already home! I will leave for the airport in about 90 minutes. I had a stress dream about catching a flight to Paris. Everything went wrong, and yes I missed the flight. UGH... I'm guessing it's because I am not looking forward to this weekend, which makes sense.

Really good workout yesterday. I'm finding I get more done when I workout by myself, rather than with the trainer. Probably because I'm not carrying on a conversation with someone!

I have given some thought to Paula's question about cardio. It does have 3 main (IMO) benefits: heart/pulmonary health, weight management (albeit minor), and blood sugar management. Of course, there are other benefits listed, too. I think for me, it's the building of stamina and breathing that are attractive. I will see if I can't add at least one cardio session to my week for starters. It certainly won't hurt, but I do need a reason for cardio because it's boring as sh*t!

It is gray and chilly and spitting from the heavens. Looks like I will miss the atmospheric river that's coming through tomorrow. But I wouldn't mind having a lazy wet Saturday with nothing to do! Earlier this week I looked at my calendar and briefly got excited because there was nothing scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. LOL! It's because I'm not here!!!

Have to get cracking so I don't miss THIS flight.

I'm sure your friend was very embarrassed and it was the son who had no clue that it was rude to do that. I think people who haven't had to do much compromising often don't realize the implications when they change things last minute.

Funerals make me think, how nice it would be for the person being celebrated to hear all the lovely things being said about them. A good reminder to tell people how you feel about them while they are alive.

I am irked this morning. One of my pet peeves is people being late. My neighbor asked if I would take her and her son to Costco today. he's a chef and is catering a good friend of hers' celebration of life tomorrow. I of course said yes. The original plan was to leave at 10, but she called me yesterday and asked if we could leave at 9. I am absolutely not a morning person, which my friend knows, but trying to be accommodating, I said okay. At 5 minutes to 9, she texts that her son is not ready and he's going to be another hour so we should just leave at the original 10 o'clock time. Seriously? I would have loved to stay in bed an extra hour this morning. I was exhausted and had to pry myself out! I feel like if someone is doing you a huge favor like driving you an hour and a half each way to Costco, you do your darndest to be ready at the time agreed upon! I don't want her to feel bad, but I want to say something as a lesson to her 27-year-old son who should know better... Here endeth my daily rant.

Hmm, it seems all I had in my brain was my rant! If I think of anything else, I'll let you know... take care all!

Nothing is easy!

You are really slimming down now. Good for you wearing the wine suit!
