Facebook Reminders

This picture of me, taken 8 years ago, came up in my facebook newsfeed. I like how I looked then I am confident that I can get there again.  My hair will be a different color, but my body will be the same.

I completed day two yesterday.  I ended up pedaling a little at the YMCA and found that I was extra hungry when I got home.  I had already eaten all that I was supposed to on the Turbo Takeoff plan, but had learned years ago to eat when I'm hungry.  So I chose to make a vanilla shake with a banana, tsp. steel cut oats, and cinnamon.  According to the NUMI app, I was still under 1200 calories.

1200 calories is not very much for me.  I usually try to stay around 1500.   As a teen, my mother always said to me "Mary, if you want to weigh 120 pounds you have to eat 1200 calories."  I want to weigh 150 pounds, so once I reach that goal, I will maintain it with 1500 calories.  For now though, I'd better focus on the task at hand, 1200 calories, as I head towards my goal!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
