AuntieJan's Journal, 05 Mar 12

Had a great weekend with my friends, we celebrated the 80th birthday of the mom of my best friend in high school on Friday evening, it was a surprise party attended by over 100 people. She was blown away surprized and it was a great party. The food was typical buffet party food with enough choices for me to eat well without blowing my plan, I skipped the cake completely.

Saturday morning we had a healthy breakfast and we walked 3.5 miles afterwards. Lori lives on a rural road and it is a lovely place to walk! Then we went to the farmer's market and bought some lovely fresh fruit and veggies. The day was warm and we hung out by the pool for the afternoon, even taking a dip even though it was a bit cool at 80ºf.

Lori made us a healthy lunch of tuna lettuce wraps, she puts a bit of horseradish in the tuna and that really gives it some zip! We also had sliced veggies and fruit we had just bought at the market. For a little more exercise I grabbed a sack and picked pine cones that had fallen from the gazillion pine trees on their property. They have a bonfire area we use during gatherings and I dumped them in there.

Then on Saturday night I went out with my friends Lori & Carolyn, we stopped and picked up another friend, Sandy, and we went for cocktails (ale for me) and a light dinner and then to a show. It was a musical called, um, "Menopause"... LOL. It was hilarious and we had a great time. After dropping Sandy back home we ended the night back at Lori's house where we had a nightcap and a snack, played Rummicube, talked, laughed and stayed up late (in the guestroom so as not to disturb Lori's DH who was snoring soundly upstairs). We had a blast. It is so nice to have old friends like that.

We were up early on Sunday, the weather had changed as a cold front came through about 6am, blowing rain and much cooler temps. I left around 8:30 to get back to Melbourne in time for service at Nomad, and to record my weigh-in. I was so worried about my weigh-in but I was happy to see I worried too much! Damned dream. :D

So it was a great weekend but I was really glad to get home! My sister is being moved to a rehab facility today, she had knee surgery on Thursday and was in the hospital over the weekend. I am getting ready to go see her this morning.

Onward, intrepid travelers.....

Good for you eating wisely at that party - and look at the nice downward slope of your weight graph! Wishing your sister the best.

Thank you ladies, I truly appreciate your incouragement! Spring is coming, and new opportunities for outdoor activities. Unfortunately, I have not heard anything from our Pammie (Skinny I just learned your name is also Pam!), I have sent her PMs but the last time she posted anything was at the end of October, just before her long-awaited surgery. I will continue to send her messages occasionally but I barely have time to keep up to date with our active participants here!

Just finished reading about your fun weekend. What a blast! WTG on your weightloss too. It's always awesome to hear someone out there is managing a life AND staying on their "diet". Well done. Hope your sis mends up fast. It's a long healing process. Hugs!

Thanks Mom2! It is a lifetime commitment for me and it's a ways to go, but it's great to feel motivated again. Peace!
