Be Good To Yourself

Yes, indeedy, we all need to remember to be good to ourselves.  That was my public service announcement for the week.

I would characterize the week as good.  Here's why:

• I participated in two yoga classes, and I feel a general sense of better feeling as a result of it.  I can't say exactly why, but I believe they helped.  Glad a Twitter friend put the idea in my head to pursue this and helped me find this studio near the house in San Antonio.
• Both yards are looking marvelous -- mostly a factor of recent rains, but it's nice to see at this time of year
• I got work done on PBOTL and Kitty City (and their accompanying courses as well) this week.  Three hours and twenty-four minutes according to Timesheeter.
• Mr. L got some good painting done -- see Monday's photo post on the blog for a picture
• We went to a swap meet yesterday, and my knees gave me very little trouble.  This was the same venue I had to break out the cane to get around for in February, and I was in a lot of pain back then.  Perhaps the 20-25 pounds less I was carrying around made the difference?  Probably.
• Weight has been stable over the last week, but I'm thinking this is my body and mind adjusting to this new level in preparation for the next phase.  My goal right now is to not gain, keep tracking, keep focusing on eating mindfully, and continuing to evaluate what I'm doing in a manner that will help me find more ways to make progress toward my goal that are compatible with my lifestyle (some of this involves preparing my mind to accept new ideas that will move me in the direction of my goal, which is a fancy way of saying I'm looking for small lifestyle changes I can make).
• The Parks and Wildlife guy called, and we have an appointment to meet on the 24th.

The Week Ahead:

• This is a Central Texas week, so I will take care of things up here this week, including my semi-annual visit to my doctor.  Follow that with a trip to Ft Hood to turn in new prescriptions for the year.  Hope I don't get shot.
• I'll need to mow the store.  I got the house yard done today.
• Laundry is done, but I'll need to stay on top of it this week (never a problem, really), so all goes smoothly when I'm not here next week.
• Continue work on PBOTL and Kitty City (and HTRYN and HTWAS-E).
• Continue working on the Forward Motion test site and begin working on a new page for my blogs.
• Continue discussing plans for Grand Tour 2015.
