Update
Another 1, total 42.
I had labs this morning to look at the A1C (diabetes) and cholesterol stuff, so with that out of the way I took the day off, so to speak, and relaxed a bit. Instead of running, son Neil and I took a long walk in the woods with the dog. She loves exploring, splashing through the swamp, and running around the trees.
I didn't go crazy with food, but I made some cookies and had a few. Quick, easy recipe: take a box of cake mix, any flavor is fine but white, yellow, or chocolate are probably most flexible. Add 1 egg, 2/3 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup water. Mix, and then add in whatever suits your mood. I used butterscotch chips and chopped pecans. Yummy! All sorts of possibilities. Bake at 375º for 8-10 minutes.
We also watched a movie (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, pretty good) and waxed his hair. We've recently done his hair into dreadlocks. It's a very involved process, and maintenance in the early going means wax and palm rolling. (In case you're wondering, they're clean.)
Back to work tomorrow.
Spring has arrived, with the usual crazy weather variations. One day it's almost 80º, the next it's freezing. But we've had rain and warmth, so the outdoors is greening up. Last fall I bought some daylillies for a spot in the front yard, from a clearance table at a garden center. (More about clearances later.) They were pretty dead looking, but the guy at the store thought they'd be okay. It was also late in the year to be planting them, but I put them in the ground and hoped for the best. I also bought a couple more this spring, and planted those, too. After 6 months of winter, I'm delighted to see they are all growing. I'm looking forward to pink and purple blooms, though probably not this year.
Since I'm close to maintenance now with the weight loss process, today seemed like a good day to look at my wardrobe. Forty pounds makes a significant difference in sizes. Mixed feelings! I'm happy to be in this position, but really detest waste. Especially wasted money. Fortunately, I hardly ever pay full price for clothes. Clearance racks are my friends. Even so, I now have a stack of items that are too big, and if I persevere, will remain so.
I found some jeans on the clearance rack at Kohl's this morning.
