View OTTER's food & exercise for this day
Started logging foods and exercises in the Diaries again. That's good.
Haven't had a chance to grocery shop yet. But we did get a nice haul from the garden this week. So we have greenbeans, tomatoes, yellow summer squash, lemon cucumbers, cucumbers, and celery from the garden.
Still feeling lazy about this CK commitment. But everywhere I go, everything I do, I feel good about the results I have achieved and an early yearning to reach final goal (about 8 pounds away).
We're just two weeks away from our Alaskan Cruise. Started to think seriously about what we want to pack and travel with, and what new purchases that might mean. I have no winter-weight clothes in my current size. The temps will be between 40s and mid-50s and wet -- which is often winter weather conditions around here. Hubby and I will do a bit of shopping today to see if we can find some appropriate togs.
Shift in perceptions about job and work in general have helped my attitude at the office. Still, it is stressful demanding work, without many opportunities for breathing room.
And my dream of finding a new career through the community college didn't pan out after visiting the informational seminar. It would be 3-1/2 years of schooling. With a goal of retiring in just under 15 years, it seems silly to use almost four years to find a new career and then have to get established. I should stay where I am for as long as I can, reaping the rewards of my longevity and squirreling the funds away for my sunny retirement :-)
Attended CityFest, the Luis Palau free event in downtown Portland last night. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. People were so nice and happy. The music was great. The message was great. I left feeling inspired and re-connected to my faith.
One of my favorite bloggers on CK is on vacation. I look forward to her return.
Another of my favorite bloggers on CK has sickness in her family and has made her blog private. I pray that the sickness retreats soon, that complete healing and wellness be visited upon her house.
Shalom, -Otter
