Boo Radley finally came out and so will I!

Today was the perfect Sunday!

The dogs and I went out to the field and then we jumped into the car and headed off for a Mocha, pastry and a little drive with heads hanging out the window tails waggin!

We drove to the beach on Alki where I could take a good look at the Condominium that I know is mine! Hook or crook I’m getting that condominium for an investment, and for a place to retired to as well as stay whenever I’m Back in town so we don’t have to stay with friends or family. It’s across the street from the beach walk so the dogs and I will have a great place to hang out each day. There so much square footage that one couldn’t ever feel claustrophobic!

We came home where I pushed/pulled and hauled up 54 lbs of Pine logs to the top of my 3 flight stairs to the apartment! Whew! That was not easy! It’s enough to get my own weight upstairs let alone another 50 lbs! Good thought, I don’t want to have to carry that around all the time, and I’m danged ready to get rid of that amount that I am carrying around all the time at the moment!

Then turned on TV and my favorite movie in the world was starting: “To Kill A Mockingbird” I just settled into the moment of the movie and the wonderful emotions I always feel with it. That set the pace even further. When it was over I fixed dinner. I was going to make cornbread and green beans and something else but then I decided on green beans and potatoes. Mixed it up in a non-stick pan with a tablespoon of extra virgin Olive Oil, garlic and onion. Smelled and tasted so great! I was glad I didn’t make corn bread with butter. I was going to have an apple but I’m still full enough.

This week I’ve got a birthday dinner at the Salish Lodge. Because I’ll be going out I’m going to really cut the calorie intake this week with fruit juice and protein shakes. If I get really hungry then I do have veggie meals that I can partake in so that I don’t lose my mind and head off to some stinkin’ fast food joint!

I’ve been taping “The biggest Loser” to motivate me weekly. I should have kept the tapes instead of deleting them because they really motivate me when I watch them. I want to see those changes in myself. I’m going to get my camera set up so that I can take pictures of my face to see the changes to help motivate myself. My life is changing and I’m creating the road map to my dreams just in cast I lose my footing and step off the best path for my health, I’ll have a reminder how to get back on track!

My health matters, I matter especially to me! I really want to get involved in some kind of activity or something 0utside the apartment just to get me out of here. I’m still working on getting out of here on a daily basis. We’ll see. I’m really looking forward to summer!
