Woke up this morning to about 6 inches of snow that pretty much closed down Durham. I ate my bag breakfast which consisted of a whole wheat bagel, peanut butter and jam, and an orange. I watched S. Williams play tennis at the Australian Open but had to leave before the start of the third set. Luckily, I have a remote car starter, so the car had a head start when I worked my way down the steps to the road. As a New Englander, I had a snow scraper in the car. Most folks here don't. As a matter of fact, when I got back around 3:30, the next door neighbor's door lock was frozen and I had to tell them to heat the key to unfreeze the lock. I also lent them my scraper.
When I left for DFC, I only saw 5 or 6 cars all the way. The roads were snow covered but I made sure I didn't get behind any NC drivers. Slow and easy got me to the center around 10:30, as planned.
The first thing I did this morning (there are no classes today) was to treadmill for 30 minutes and Nu-step for 30 minutes. The pool opened up at 11:30 and the instructor sure took us through the mill today. We basically pushed and pulled the water from side to side of the pool for 40 minutes straight, with a 5 minute stretch time at the end. Then time for lunch,(my glucose level was 76 this morning.) After lunch I repeated my morning set for another 50 minutes, as the gym closed down at 2:30.
More folks are leaving today. I wonder how many I will know come Sunday night. The kitchen made a packed dinner for tonight consisting of a hard boiled egg, the fixings for a chicken sandwich and fruit. Paula has set me up with silverware, napkins and even a percolating coffee pot for tomorrow morning. The center is opening up at 10am so I will go over for a quick breakfast before chapel. Weather permitting, I am taking 3 people with me. I do believe I will call the chapel ahead of time to be sure there will be a service.
That's it my friends. Short day, short blog!

Pete-- As a veteran of the "how can I not have lost any weight group" I would suggest that you have gained enough muscle it is showing on the scale. We all have weeks like that--I've just had two. Hard to believe you have been gone 3 weeks. You have more snow than we do, but yours will melt quickly.
ReplyDeleteCertainly your blood sugar is fabulous, something to be really proud of. When the scale lies, think about how your pants fit. Or get out a tape measure from Sudie's newly cleaned sewing room!!
