Weight is up today despite simple math ... no worries though because I KNOW simple math eventually prevails. I definitely ate more yesterday than I typically do but I also exercised more and gratefully I am not stressing myself out about it this morning. The blue skies are brilliant and the sunshine is abundant today and I am just going to keep traveling this journey ... wherever it shall take me!!
Despite the reduction in pay from 'furlough Friday' I enjoyed my day. I had time to watch an entire movie while I used my elliptical machine (Serious Moonlight - which I was not overly impressed with), caught up on a few bills, chatted with my son on the computer, visited the tanning salon, got my hair permed, and did a little grocery shopping. Last night we watched a couple more episodes of Southland before retiring for the evening. Beets I think I know which character you 'relate' to ... but you certainly impress me as much more grounded than she is ... and I have the journal entries to PROVE IT!!!
A pot of steel cut oats are simmering on the stove and a hot cup of coffee accompanies me here I as write to you today!! I am pondering a movie outing today (which of course means popcorn). Considering either "Cop Out" or "Crazy Heart" ... and would love to catch the early show and save a few dollars. Perhaps it sounds foolish to spend time indoors at a movie with the sun shining ... but we have quite a drive into town and can enjoy the sunshine then!!
Grateful today for ...
1. (need I even say it???) Blue skies and Sunshine!!!
2. a calm approach to ... 'as the scale fluctuates' ...
3. my hair stylist telling me as she worked on my hair ... 'you know Carol, you are Bob's whole world ... I can tell by the way you two are with each other when I see you together' ... thank goodness my head was bent over as she put perm rods in my hair because I nearly started crying!!! Bob tells me that a lot ... but I had no idea other people who didn't know him or I intimately had any clue!!
4. feeling optimistic even though there is no concrete reason
5. family, friends, and the blessings that engulf me (I know I say this a lot however it bears repeating often!!)
Have a restful, rejuvenating, fun-filled, productive, and enjoyable weekend!!! Take care my friends!!!

My movie pic is "Crazy Heart"...Jeff Bridges will probably win an oscar for it. Hey, listen for a song entitled "Brand New Angel" if you go...I didn't know until the movie credits that a family member of mine wrote that song...guess I should keep more in touch with my family, huh? (LOL) Have fun, whatever you do this weekend.

Moose I hope you have an awesome day today. The sun is out and I am heading out to who knows where as soon as my chicken is cooked. I tried my hand at baked lemon chicken. Who knows how it will come out. Who cares! lol Let me know about the movie you choose and how it was. I am thinking of going rock n roll bowling tonight in Niagara Falls. Sounds like fun! Have a great day! Hope you enjoyed those oats. I had some today too!

Cathy - oooh ... rock n roll bowling sounds like a ton of fun!!! I haven't been bowling in ages!!! My oats were delicious ... just wish it didn't take so long to cook them!! We're thinking about Cop Out ... I think we all could use a good laugh today!! Lemon chicken sounds good ... but I pretty much like all kinds of chicken!! doit2it - I think Crazy Heart might be a bit too 'serious' for us today but I definitely want to see it!! I will listen for the song ... how cool to have a relative who writes songs!!! I've written a few in my life but nothing that would ever be published. Secretly I'm a closet singer ... LOL!!! So many careers I could have had!!! Good to see you here!!! I hope things are settling down for you or at least the next steps on your path are becoming clear!!

And I thought your hair was naturally curyl... LOL It is beautiful out today, but still a bit chilly here. Great job on the eliptical - I could NEVER be on it as long as you do! Have a great day, and no worries about the gain, as you know, it will be off before you know it!

Glad to see your cortisol levels are down today - snicker - snicker! Furlough Friday. Interesting concept. I wonder if that concept will hit the public school systems. You guys have some marathon workouts. I feel like a slacker compared to you all!
