Good morning everyone. Happy Mother's Day!! I hope you have a wonderful day. It's going to be quiet here; for the first time a quite a few years, I'm not cooking and husband is taking me out for lunch. That will be a treat!!
So how is everyone doing this morning? I hope you're starting the day off great. It looks to be a wonderful day here, even if it is somewhat early. The sun is shining and I think we're headed to the upper 80's, maybe low 90's.
It's been a pretty quiet week, yet somewhat hectic. We're in the process of preparing for our end of season luncheon with the calligraphy guild. We have a luncheon committee, but somehow the President decided that "she" needed to plan it all and she started to panic because the luncheon is next Monday (the 20th) and planning a luncheon is no snap task - that's why the luncheon committee has been at it for months!! Anyway, in all fairness, this is the first year the President has been in office, but she's been a member of the guild since it's inception in 2016, and attends all the luncheons, Christmas Parties, etc, so I'm wondering how she could have missed that the luncheon committee handles all this. Quite frankly, it's beginning to look like a couple of things might be at play here - one is that she's 82 yrs old and I'm wondering if a little "forgetfulness" is starting to take over and the other is the she seems to be something of a micro-manager. Instead of giving people a job and letting them do it, she has to have her fingers in the pie, which often makes it takes bad for the people doing the work. Anyway, as the VP, she's been calling/e-mailing me in panic wanting to know about a variety of things and since the luncheon committee handles things, I can only tell her "the luncheon committee does that", then she gets frustrated and gets several other people involved (not the luncheon committee).
I did agree to make some items for her to put into "goody bags" for officers and committee members and those are finished and only need to be wrapped. I've also been working on a couple of projects for a Show & Tell for the luncheon. I still have to make a pen that I promised to donate for a raffle.
All that said, I guess you can tell I'm pretty much back to normal from my kidney stone ordeal. I did pick up a yeast infection from being on 2 rounds of antibiotics, etc, but was able to get med at the pharmacy to deal with that.
So - my neighbor has been gone for a couple of weeks now, and I'm having a hard time getting motivated to get out and walk every day like I need to, which is making it hard to maintain the weight loss, let alone lose more!! I'm also having something of a hard time curbing the appetite, so I'll have to work on both of those aspects. I know they always say that diet contributes more to weight loss/gain than exercise, but I usually find the opposite. If I exercise, I don't have to change my diet drastically and by the same token, changing my diet doesn't do a lot without exercising!! I find that my legs get super weak if I don't exercise/walk, plus I do have that mild blockage in the arteries in my legs that I need to keep in mind - walking is the prescription!!
Anyway, my weight has been pretty steady all week, but last night I ate some salty chips and dip, so of course, I'm up by 2.4 lbs this morning. I'm not believing that's fat since it came on overnight, so I'll have to work on getting rid of it over the next couple of days!! All roads lead to walking/exercise!!
So - that's my week, how was yours? I hope you were able to reach your goal(s).
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
