Time for vacation

Well, I am headed to Birmingham, Alabama tomorrow for American Mensa's Annual Gathering better known as the AG. It's 5 days worth of hospitality, games, speakers, dances, free tai chi lessons, free ballroom dance lessons, seeing old friends and hopefully making bunches of new ones.

I am excited and nervous, haven't flown in over 4 years. Forecast is for rain some tomorrow, I just hope it's not when I'm in the air. Have made my packing list and trying not to have a 2nd bag to check.

WW will be a little more difficult to follow, but not impossible. Some meals I will eat in hospitality, others we will go out for. I have lost 25 pounds so far and do not want to back track this week.

4 weeks and counting

Have lost 13.6 as of Tuesday. Had some dental work done Wednesday and my mouth is still hurting so I have been sticking to soft foods. Well apparently, spaghetti, even with all my points counted, does not agree with the program because my scale says I'm up a little bit. Trying to get in all my water this weekend and start an exercise program.

Was giong to mow the yard, but I hate mowing so much, I an calling the teenager who did it once and paying him. If I'm going to exercise, I want to do it in the air conditioning. It's not the temp as much as the humidity that wears me down.

Hoping & Wishing

Or however that old song goes. My newest venture with Weight Watchers has gotten off to a fast start. Lost 11.8 in 2 weeks. Lost 4.6 the first week, which was awesome and thought, the 2nd week would be less.

But noooo, even with going out of town, having a different routine, I managed to lose 7.2 in a week. Maybe it was mowing the yard that did it. HAHA 45 minutes of exercise does not lose you 7.2 pounds. But it didn't hurt.

I need to lose another 105-110 according to the weight charts. We'll see, and keep hoping & praying I can stick with it this time.

So I am doing it again

Combination of getting older and the pounds starting to creep back on, I re-joined Weight Watchers again and this time I hope it works.

Does anyone even read this

Who knows the ansewr to that question. I've been really bad about writing, and I'm not the funniest writer. I just saw a typo and I don't care.

Oh well, what's going on here - back on the WEight Watchers bandwagon. Lost 5 pounds the first week. Tomorrow night is weigh in. I'm supposed to be drinking buttloads of water today but I keep on forgetting.

I am marking the days on the calendar when I will be done with Jaycees. I decided to go ahead and work the Haunted House this year, since I am treasurer, I need to keep an eye on the money and I'm not sure there's anyone else we can spare to do it. It is a drag, but I keep reminding myself it's temporary. After that, just 2 months and I'm free from being a board member.

I'm still on AAUW's board thru next May and then that's it. I'm tired of the commitment it requires. I just want to do the fun stuff, not the decision making. Getting cranky as I age and more picky as to how I spend my time.

I've been so tired lately I haven't even got the Halloween decorations out. That's another thing I don't like about the Haunted House, it makes me not like Halloween so much.

BUT - I've already been in costume. We did a pub crawl in costume 2 weeks ago to promote the thing and I went as Beth the Bounty Hunter. Funny what a pair of boots and handcuffs can do to lift your mood and make you feel like you can kick butt.
