Week 14

We're 14 weeks into 2011. Here's what's been going on:

Polar Bear on the Loose (Revision, using How To Revise Your Novel):  Still working on Lesson 7, and I made progress on three days this week.  Unfortunately, the three days didn't coincide with Health Month's three days, and I lost a life point.  Oh, well.

750words.com: I've written at least my 750 words each day and have a current streak of 299 days.  I've written 6888 words so far this month.

Internet Responsibilities:
- I blogged once this week.

Pets:
- Millie got a new collar this week.  Right after I put it on her, she ran over to show it to Dazzle.
- Millie came to the ranch with us yesterday, ostensibly to give her a chance to run, but she didn't run much.  She took off after a squirrel in the next field over while I was checking a fence line (there were two cows in the hayfield when we drove in, so they were getting in from somewhere). But she came back pretty quickly after the initial thrill.  Mostly, she sniffed around, hung around near us, and laid under the trailer while we worked.

Property:
- Hubby took care of some drainage issues over the back door of the shop.  I bagged six bags of debris and only got a little itch for my efforts.
- I mowed the lawn at the house and am in the process of watering now.  We haven't had any rain yet this spring (except for a quick half inch or so one day last week.)

Health:
- Recumbent bike riding is ok -- rode once this week.
- The yard work and the work at the ranch count as good workouts -- especially the work at the ranch.
- I have now lost 18.2 pounds (three bags of flour) on the WW program and mostly an inch and a half on all the measurements.  This morning, achieved my first goal weight (5% of starting weight -- or should I say 95%?).  I set my next goal for 90% (the total long term goal is 55% -- almost half of what I started as).  I'm both surprised and thrilled by this success.
- I logged 23.67 miles for Walk Across Texas.
