Rained But Not Out

Sunday, December 16, 2012

It started raining yesterday about 11:00 and really didn't stop until about 7:00 this morning.  Even then the air was full of moisture.  I'm just glad it stopped, since not going out for a walk first thing actually seemed ... odd?

Yeah, I think odd is the right word.  Out of the normal.  Contrary to routine.  I think this morning stuff is really starting to take hold.  I woke up a few minutes before my alarm again, that's several times this week and is SO much more humane.  When it stopped raining I was actually eager to get out there for a walk.  This is brand new, undiscovered territory people.  It's all coming together and I'm not sure what's been the most beneficial - the hard surface sleep, the regular exercise, the so-so weight loss, the consistency, whatever - but it's working.  I feel so much better and I'm starting to resemble a real person in so many ways.  It's fairly miraculous.

I was a little worried yesterday, my bad ankle was bothering me after the morning walk.  After listening to it bark for a while I put on the ankle brace (which I haven't worn in several months) and stuck with that all day.  I am quite pleased that it is not bothering me today, at least not so far.

While eating I compiled a "to do" list for the day - it occupies a full page of notebook paper.  FML.  It's going to be crazy.

Breakfast:  Leftover oatcakes, 4 slices Meijer bacon, coffee

No blueberries and no vegetation, just cakes n bacon
You know how this picture is different than yesterday's picture?  ZOMG different plate.

Lunch:  2 Culver's double deluxe burgers

Snack:  Chips and onion dip.  Lots.

Dinner:  Chuck roast with box cheesy mashed potatoes, carrots and gravy, a roll with butter.

Exercise:  Morning walk was good for 1.2 miles, then got out to the golf course in the afternoon for the last time (probably) of the season.  Walked 9 holes in the drizzle, pedometer said 3.6 miles.
