New scale says I weigh 5 pounds more than I did last time I weighed in. Which I think is not bad (see "Werepig" entry from yesterday). Of course, I won't know my real weight until I'm home and do my nude weigh-in.

Still, I think I can achieve goal weight in reasonable time, and I'm looking forward to maintenance. Once I've been at goal weight for a year, I'll have my wedding bands re-sized. Right now I wear them on a chain around my neck (near my heart).

Gonna MISS baby sister and her family once I head home Friday. But also looking forward to getting new order and routine in my own life.

Did I mention I inherited a ukelele from middle sister? One of the goals for the new year is to take Uke lessons! A dream: to play "Amazing Grace" at middle sister's spring time memorial service in March. That would be the bee's roller skates!

Good practices already for today: Prayer, meditation, reading the Word, writing-writing-writing. Food: hearty but not sugary (another good start).

Okay, gotta shower and start the day.

Go in peace. -Otter
