I really hope to be pretty darn close to my goal today. Since I again did not track I can only guess/hope that my general eating habits were good this week plus all the exercise. I don't know if its confidence or foolishness but I actually ate breakfast today, weigh-in day. As I write this, I am thinking about the animal crackers with chocolate chips that magically landed in my hands a few nights this week, perhaps I am foolishly confident. I'll find out later.
I did some pruning yesterday. Some of my rose bushes are just teeming with buds. The two fungified bushes have lost nearly all of their mature leaves but new growths are still appearing. Hope is not lost for those two bushes if nothing else I know they will be back next year. The hydrangeas had their first ever pruning, hopefully my quick internet search told me the right place to cut.
I really like to garden. Its so zen. Sometimes its a little painful to prune. I mean you wait for the blooms for so long, even if the bloom is a little past peak its still so colorful and nice to look at, BUT you have to cut it. Since we had a bit of a stretch with no blooms I was enjoying all the pops of pink, a little too long. Yesterday I was out clipping away the old and realizing that the buds underneath the blooms were not getting enough sunlight and some are shriveled. So I will go ahead and be completely lame and apply it to me. I think the running and weight loss stuff is like the first bloom. I am excited to do the triathlon and thrilled with the weight loss but I have some other interests that I don't want to shrivel up. I thought school would be my next project but since we're thinking a move out of the area is likely in the next year I can't start a program yet. WHAT TO DO NEXT?
