Lockdown in name only – day 84 of xx.

looking for the light

For most of last week, my little fan provided all the conditioning that the air needed in the Old Bat Cave. But, today, the A/C is back on the job.

Getting ready to walk right out that front gate for the 3rd morning in a row. This morning I walked two miles. Which is twice around what I call the big block. I didn’t walk at “going to miss the bus” pace. But, I didn’t go at old lady speed either. When I walk around and around the building I walk slower. Older even.

As I was finishing up this walk I decided that I haven’t been taking very good care of the old equipment. Haven’t checked my blood pressure in over three months. I haven’t weighed myself since last year. And, I have been eating everything in sight. So, when I got back to The Asylum, I went right to the scale and read the news. Well, it wasn’t news. I know I am at MAX weight before I must purchase new clothes. 10 stone. Sounds better than 141 pounds. Need to drop a stone. Then I checked my BP. Fortunately, it is what passes for good for me 120/75.

When lunch arrived it was turkey and swiss on a croissant. Oversized fake Sysco croissants have no place in my fat world. (I would make an exception for a real croissant.) I know that my elderly body will be happier if it has less weight to haul around. I know how to do this. Goodness knows I have done it many times before. Eat half as much and exercise twice as much.

Gratitude

Grateful to be on the green side of the grass!


June 22, 2019 went on a trip from Edinburgh to Stirling Castle.

Cemetery at the Church of the Holy Rude. Don’t think the name should be taken seriously.
