2025: A Breath of Fresh Air

  Time for a new mission statement. My goal for 2025 was to lose 100 pounds by 12-31-25 but I've failed miserably. At some point I need to pick myself up and try. A realistic goal at this point is 50 pounds by 12-31-25, so that is where I will start. When will I start ? I don't know .. do I need a "starting point" ? I don't. Every day that I don't "start" just adds to my misery. I plan to just take each day as it comes and do what I can to move closer to where I want to be. Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. I got up just before 9 and took a shower just before noon. Getting dressed is next but I'm not planning on getting on the treadmill. It's just too hot.

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. I never made it to the treadmill yesterday. I procrastinated too long and it got too hot. Today is even hotter, so we'll see. It's 11:43 am and it's 86 degrees ! I am dressed, so we'll see if I can progress to putting my shoes on ! Anyhow, I was up around 9 and have spent the morning catching up my slots and watching YouTube. I'm watching Grey's Anatomy now. I never watched this show and there ...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. I really slept in today ! It was nearly 11 am when I woke up ! I guess I was tired after a few days of late nights and relatively early risings. I'm surprised Minnie didn't wake me up sooner. She was snoozing in the hall outside my bedroom. We had storms move through during the night (which I apparently slept through) and the power went out around 4 am. I happened to wake up and turned the tv off less than a m...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. It's been a while since I've written, but I've been a little busy ! June 16 was Monday and I didn't really do anything. Tuesday was trash day and I did manage to put the trash out. The day became an adventure shortly after 8 pm. I wanted an ice cream so about 8:23 pm I got in the car and headed to the place I like up near Pulaski. Well, it looked like the restaurant was open but the ice cream stand was...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. It's been a few days since I wrote and there is not much to talk about. I last wrote on Tuesday and Wednesday was rock & roll bingo day. It was just me, Kim and Joe as Rich and Barb are working on getting their camp site ready for the new trailer. Sounds like an excuse, but what do I know. Anyhow, we had fun though we didn't win. Thursday I gassed up the car and went to Wegman's. I needed all the stuff...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. I'm going to try taking it one day at a time. That means not rehashing what I did or didn't do yesterday, last week, last month, etc. I have to focus on the here and now. So far, today has been a good day. It's 12:54 and I'm going to put on my shoes and hit the treadmill. I feel good today physically and mentally. I was up around 7:30 thanks to Minnie. She seems to wake me up so that she can take over ...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. It's Monday and I was up before 8:30 today. Fed the cats, had my breakfast and then moved on to YouTube and the online slots. I installed a new game last night (Jackpot Friends) and I'm not yet sure I want to keep it. I tend to compare new slots to Jackpot World and they typically don't measure up. Despite the struggle to earn enough coins to complete challenges I really like JW ! We'll see. The inabil...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. Not much to catch up on since I last wrote. Friday I went to Walmart and did a pretty good job keeping to smart choices, though I did buy Johnsonville sausages and 2 tubs of Haagen Das ice cream. I wanted to get hot dogs but they didn't have the big packages. I happened to find bread that was 40 calories a slice, so I bought that instead of rolls. To my dismay, the sausages are about half the size they used to be ...

I spent the morning doing the usual: YouTube and online slots. Bingo was fun and although we all came close, none of us caught a win ! I had a burger and fries instead of the usual pizza. It was SO good, but I'm not going to get fries again. I need to step away from all those calorie...

Well, it's 2:30 now and the sun has been out for a while. It's 77 degrees too ! The high for tomorrow is a whopping 88 but then we drop back to the mid 70's Thursday. I'm ok with that ! I made my bed when I got up and then fed Minnie. Mama cat did not show up to eat today. I've checked several times to see if ...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. Sigh. Here I am "catching up" the blog again. I think I avoid writing because I am continually writing about what I am NOT doing. Actually, I know this is why I'm not writing. That's my avoidant personality disorder showing up. So Friday, Saturday and Sunday were unremarkable, in that I didn't go anywhere or do much of anything. I watched YouTube and played the online slots. I won a ton of coins ...
