Rambling

This weekend the weather was quite lovely here in the PNW. Friday I felt kind of tired, so B & I did a relatively short walk (about 45 minutes); but Saturday and Sunday, we kicked it. Saturday our friend Pam along with Olive and Kermit went on the Big Walk. I am sure happy I met Pam, she’s so nice…on our walks, we talk about a lot of stuff and I’ve been comfortable enough to open up to her a bit. As I mentioned, we are planning a trip to the beach with our dogs. Originally it was to be next weekend, but something came up so we’re going in the middle of June.

In the not too distant future, hub & B & I are going on a 2 week road trip...His 40th high school class reunion in California is on May 30th. So we’re going to leave the 22nd and drive along the Oregon coast, stopping along the way and staying in a few coastal towns. Then in Cal we will stay with various friends and family (his). We did a similar 2 week trip last year and had a blast, so I’m looking forward to it. B is a fabulous traveler and a very well behaved guest…even people who don’t have pets love B. (Haha...Patty's comment just made me realize how over the top I am about B sometimes. Do you think I am just a teeny tiny bit prejudiced? :-)

Now, hub is not much different than any other person and he wants to look good at his reunion. So a week ago, we started on a diet. The difference is, he isn’t desperate and so he’s not going on some stupid crazy fast (like I would do if I left to my own devices). He just wants to lose about 10 lbs, which based on his current weight, should be very easy for him to do. I “always” want to lose weight, so I’m happy to go along with the plan.

We’ve basically been eating about 1500 calories a day. It’s amazing how much you can eat if you don’t eat any crap or binge…and just eat good, healthy food (duh). So far it’s been really easy (with the therapy and drugs and hub & I both supporting each other to eat right), and I feel as if I’ve lost some weight...but who really knows since I don’t weigh? I guess the best way to tell is my clothes. Although I wear a uniform sometimes, I also wear regular civilian clothes a lot. So it’s been about 10 days since I last wore my uni, and when I put it on today, the pants which normally fit rather snugly were pretty loose. I’m waiting until the middle of next week to look in my closet to decide what to wear to the reunion. If nothing fits, I’ll still have time to go buy something new.

I have a meeting tonight, so I'm posting early today. I have a few other things on my mind, but they can wait for now. I hope everyone is having a good Monday. Catch you later!
