Last week at a Weight Watchers meeting the leader asked me to share a tip regarding how I lost eight pounds in a couple of weeks. This week a woman thanked me saying she used my tip to loose three plus pounds in one week. We just never know in advance what we say that will be of value to someone else.

Oh, the tip? Consider bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes to be occasional treats instead of daily needs. Try it, it works.

ps. Just holding steady this week letting my body recover from that massive loss the last couple of weeks. Yeah, that’s my excuse. The bag of Cheetos yesterday had nothing to do with it. 🙂

Who says ham and eggs have to be fried? Or that you have to get your morning vitamin C from orange juice? I choose this.

ps. I missed a couple of weeks of Weight Watchers meetings but no problem–I am down another 8.6 pounds for a total of nearly 20 lbs in three months.

 

Still sitting in Minnesota working on getting healthy. Am enjoying seeing friends and family. Am not enjoying all the medical appointments but the results so far have been good so I’ll settle for that. Sorry I have nothing fun and exciting to say today but thought I should at least let you know I’m still ticking.

Yes, you read that right. The power for this park is scheduled to be down Thursday from 9 am to noon and we are happy about that.

I know; I know, you are all asking if we are crazy. At least those of you who live in houses are. Some RVers, especially those who stay in one place for awhile might already have guessed why we are happy.

You see, we have a generator in our RV to supply power when we camp somewhere with no electrical supply. Yes, we normally have power here so our generator does not get used.

Therein lies the problem. Generators are made to be run. They like to be run. Fluids, just like our bodies’ blood, are best when they get to circulate regularly. How many of you have let your lawnmower sit over the winter without having drained the fuel? Doesn’t work come Spring, right?

So, we are supposed to run our generator at least an hour every month to keep it happy. We are supposed to do that while calling for a full load of energy from it. We usually do that by running our generator and air conditioner at the same time.

Now, generators are noisy. And put out smelly exhaust. So neighbors in RV parks don’t appreciate you running them there. So we usually exercise our generator while driving from one site to another. But, we aren’t making any trips down the road this summer. What to do? What to do?

Wait for your park to announce a planned power outage. Then use that as an excuse to exercise the generator! Win!

ps. Down another 1.8 pounds this week. Happy, happy!

Today is my birthday and it was about as perfect as I can get.

I slept most of the morning.

I had restaurant leftovers for breakfast.

I ate only an apple for late afternoon snack because I was saving my Weight Watchers points for later.

Then we went to my favorite restaurant, Timberlodge, for dinner and I had my favorite wild rice soup and filet mignon, which was cooked exactly as I like it. I also had garlic mashed potatoes. Plus, I still have enough points left for my late night munching which will probably be leftover steak.

And I got the only present I asked for: a longer USB cable so I can sit in my favorite chair with my iPad plugged in and be able to put it on my side table without unplugging it.

Life is good!

TTYL,

Linda
