Good morning. I'm a bit late posting today, but it's been a busy morning already. It's dark and dreary (rainy) but looks like the sun might come out pretty soon. Yay!!
It's been pretty quiet here this week, which is not bad. I spent most of the week practicing my calligraphy and preparing for a class that was held yesterday. The class was a "hybrid", meaning some attended in person and some attended via Zoom. It went okay and we learned a new fun way to write.
Okay, so here we are well into a new year and I'm definitely on a weight loss mission now. We booked a cruise for our anniversary, which is in August and I "have" to lose, at least 20 lbs in order to be comfortable going on this cruise.
It was cold and rainy outside, the other day, so I sent to use my treadmill and realized that one of the wheels was broken. I got my husband to take a look and he discovered that the other wheel was about to break, as well. He ended up making 2 new wheels for it that will be much stronger than the original ones. So now, I have to get busy and start using it, along with doing some weights, stretches and other types of exercise.
My neighbor who summers in Oregon was not able to come back for the winter. When she's here, we, typically, walk every morning, but without her here, I haven't been doing much of anything. Anyway, she'll be here for a couple of weeks early in March, so I need to get used to walking so I'm ready when she gets here. Hopefully, I can push myself to keep walking after she leaves again.
So - it's definitely going to be a challenge, but I'm giving this my best effort as I want to be comfortable in my body again. There are 22 weeks until our cruise, so at a pound/week, I should be able to do it. I hope others will join me and we can work together.
Right now, I've dropped off most of the excess water weight I've been carrying since our recent trip to Las Vegas, so I'm basically starting from scratch. It's a new day and a new week...
How did your week go? I hope you were able to meet/exceed whatever goal(s) you set for yourself and look forward to hearing about it.
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
