Finally got some good sleep last night. Fell asleep a little after 7:30 and slept until 9:30 and then slept again from 12:30 to 5:30. I feel much better today! I was feeling a bit crummy yesterday.
Got two packages mailed this morning. Dropped off my recycling stuff and cashed a check at the bank. I was able to find what I needed at the Strong City Grocery store so I didn’t have to run into Emporia to get stuff to make soup for Thursday. Got a big batch of Chex Mix made this morning. Still need to make another batch of fudge and do the chicken chores this afternoon and then I will have my to-do list completed for the day. Feels good to have had a productive morning.
Lost another pound today – down to a new low for me. I have now officially lost 50 pounds since February 11, 2018. My BMI is still above 19.0 so still good. I have been eating extra food but since I have more energy than I used to I have been walking a lot more and burning more calories. My clothes all still fit and are not too loose so thinking the number on the scale really doesn’t mean much. I don’t want to have to buy all new clothes again so really don’t want to lose much more.
It was a bright and beautiful start to the day on the prairie. The sunrise was spectacular again. The clouds have rolled in and rolled out and are rolling back in again. No moisture is predicted so not sure why the clouds seems to want to hang around today. At least most of the sky is bright blue right now. Certainly can’t complain about temperatures in the 50’s for the middle of December.
The Solstice Ceremony needed to be changed to Thursday at noon. Decided to fix some soup for lunch for the group. If I remember to get some beer and self-rising flour while I am in KC tomorrow I will make beer bread to go with it. I so enjoy gathering and celebrating Solstice with my dear friends.
I’m goIng to attempt to write some letters and get some Christmas cards ready to mail this afternoon. Not going to do very many but I like to send some friends and family that aren’t on Facebook a card. Cards seem a bit old-fashioned these days. Sure don’t receive many any more.
Sitting in my peaceful valley again today. I do have a tinge of restlessness in my background going on but thinking that is from the upcoming full moon that is happening Saturday night. I’m glad I will be gone tomorrow with my trip to KC and then have my friends coming over Thursday noon. I am going to babysit the kiddos Thursday evening so will be busy the next two days. Friday things will slow back down for me.
Grateful for a good night’s sleep, grateful for a productive morning, and grateful to have found Bright Lines Eating Plan.
