It is wonderful how quickly Wednesday appears to have arrived this week!! My coffee is perking in the background and I'm waiting for it to finish before I begin my Pilates DVD. I've been rotating every other day between elliptical and Pilates and it seems to be working out fairly well. I do still wonder if I will ever be able to complete a full push-up ... I still can't do it even after lots of practice!! LOL!! Guess I'm not 'practicing' enough!!
Today is our weekly staff meeting. I always enjoy seeing everyone, I don't always enjoy the actual meeting! HA! I have a couple of other appointments and the day should pass by quickly.
We are beginning to plan our next Mexico vacation ... I think we'll try 2 weeks in Cabo this time, likely in March. We have a long weekend jaunt we'll be taking to Portland, Oregon end of September ... other than that no major vacations planned. I have a couple of work related trips to Boise, maybe even three this fall. One next month, perhaps one in October, and another in November. Rack up those frequent flyer miles, right?
Pretty quiet evening at home. No netflix to watch!! Counted quarters from our vending machines, chatted with a couple of people on the computer, walked the dog, the routine things of life. The Backup Plan is supposed to arrive in the mail today. I hope it is entertaining!! I think we'll grill a burger tonight, slice up some tomatoes, and scoop up some cottage cheese for dinner. YUM!!!
My mom will be home Saturday evening. She has been having a very enjoyable time with her sister!! It won't be long now until her retirement in November. She hasn't told anyone at work yet ... I think she is afraid they will let her go early if she tells them. Her next trip to California will be three months long!!! She leaves November 14th and returns on February 19th!! It will be the first time in many, many, many, many years we don't have her with us for the holidays!!! I'm excited for her though ... she and her sister are very close and I'm so glad they will be together. It will be very special for them. Can't be too greedy ... I am already incredibly blessed to have such a great mom ... guess I should be generous and share her!! LOL!!
Well I suppose it is time to meander up the stairs and enjoy my Pilates body!! Today I am grateful ....
1. for fun chats with good friends!!
2. being greeted by 3 pit bulls outside, and then 4 'little' dogs inside at a visit yesterday!!! Talk about dog hair!!!
3. perspective
4. the ability to laugh
5. freshly brewed coffee!!!
Must dash!!! I will continue to practice kindness towards myself ... it is the ONLY way I will successfully maintain my health!!! Being good to myself isn't selfish ... it is necessary!!! Have a wonderful day!!! Do be good to yourselves too, okay??? Best you can??? We are all practicing ... which means we just keep at it ... perfection isn't the goal ... it is a journey ... a life long journey!!

Sounds like it will be a wonderful vacation! I find that when I have trips in my future, it helps a lot with my motivation. lol Hope your Wednesday goes as wonderfully as it sounds to be starting out. :)

Happy wednesday Carol! Planning holidays is so fun, it's almost like being there already. Back to very hot days here, I wish it would last another month... But it will end at the end of the week. Have a good day!

Hi Moose, everything sounds lovely in your neck of the woods, I am happy for you and your mom:) The push up thingy has been hard for me too. This Monday while exercising with the kids at my daughter's school her teacher told me that I might want to start by just holding my body up in the plank position which will slowly build up my upper body and core strenghth. With patience and perseverence I will know when I am strong enough to start bringing myself downward, and back up. Have a great Wednesday. TOWANDA!!!

Here is an example of how our body may change even when the scale is not. I put on my brown belt this morning and was surprised to find the last hole ... was actually still a tad loose on my waist!! What? My weight has been fairly stable for the past year. I've moaned and groaned, groaned and moaned about NOT getting to 175!! And yet ... I have a smaller waist!! I am not advocating throwing the scale out the window or avoiding weigh-ins ... just taking a balanced approach. How can I be 'upset' about the number on the scale when I have such obvious proof that I am continuing along this journey quite well? LOL!! Oh and Chris ... I would like to retire too!!! Unfortunately I think I'll need to work until I am 100!!!

I think I need to plan vacations way ahead also. March seems so far away - but maybe that's a great goal for a fun time away - I'll watch your plans carefully and see if I get inspired!
