I love long weekends....

I am so looking forward to this weekend - you have no idea exactly how much. Not that I have any big plans, I just need some time to myself without being sick. I feel like I lost last weekend because I was sick all weekend. Over the next 3 days I want to get some spring cleaning done. I need to clean out my pantry, god knows whats all in there. I need to clean up the studio, it has totally gotten out of control. I need to clean my computer room/bird room - it's getting crowded in there. I need to go to the pet store to get some dishes for the new bird. I need to clean and restock Sammy's cage with branches. I need to scrub the living room floor. I want to go through all my clothes and get rid of those that I don't wear anymore. I also want to list some stuff on Craigslist and get it out of my house. I'm in the mood to clean, purge, and lighten up. I can't wait.

There's been no workouts the last 2 days. Swimming on Wednesday really wiped me out, plus my nose has been excessively stuffy since then. Tomorrow it really starts in earnest. I'll have 3 days to get some good activity in and I plan on taking advantage of it. I'm going to do my scheduled workouts plus I'm going hiking and possibly an ocean swim early one morning. I'm really looking forward to it.

Tomorrow I also return to Weight Watchers. I haven't been there in 2 years, it was around this time in 2006 that I quit going. I tell myself that I know the program, I don't need to go to the meetings, I can do it on my own. But the truth is there is something about going to the meetings that helps a lot. So I'm going to give it another shot. A little accountability is a good thing. On my training plan is a 25 mile bike ride and I will start it by riding to my meeting.

So yeah, I'm going to use the weekend to clean up, regroup, refocus, and shake this cold completely. I'm looking forward to it. Hope you all have a great long weekend.

Hope you have a great weekend! It'll be nice having 3 days off. I'm back to wt watchers too and it's helping thought it's slow going some weeks.

I didn't go through WW to lose my weight, but I understand needing the support of a group. It makes a difference when you're surrounded by people who understand what you're going through, even if you're not starting from scratch. That's pretty nice that you can ride to your meetings!

Faced my fears

 So I mentioned that I had gotten some of the cups I ordered. They are Stanley dupes and have gold plating under the powder coating, so when...
