Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 220 lbs.

I’m not sure if today’s weight is entirely valid, as I have inexplicably been up since about 4 am, and weighed myself so early that it almost counts for yesterday’s weight rather than todays! Also, I barely slept a wink last night despite practically passing out on the girls when they were over and we were settled in for some shows together. Tom and I headed to bed soon after they left and I was sure that I was gonna sleep like a baby - but it turned out to be more like an insomniac once I got settled in. I think it’s my hormones….

So, I have been up trolling the internet and now posting here, for lack of any better ideas at this time of a Sunday morning.

In any case, I am very excited about today’s plans, and just can’t wait. I am practically wagging my tail with anticipation and enthusiasm. Guess what we are doing today. Going to the casino? Chinese Auction? Holiday shopping? Visiting friends? Movie and dinner?

Nope! NOTHING! Absolutely, gloriously, wonderfully nothing!

Originally I had slated us for a benefit for animals taking place nearly all day in Orchard Park, and had my usual mixed feelings about such a time consuming yet worthy event.

But, I have decided (and Tom is thrilled!) that this isn’t necessary, and doing nothing, especially given the state of my physical and mental condition, is just what the doctor ordered. And I am overjoyed with this plan!

So, I will likely catch up on tv, do a little laundry, maybe even read, check out the newspaper and especially the Black Friday ads, possibly cook a nice meal, and SIT! I may not even exercise today, and if I do, I think that the treadmill is all that I can handle. Heck, even God rested on Sundays!

So, although “nothing” is a euphemism for a little something (’cause really now, who actually does nothing at all - this would get pretty boring in about a minute!), my kind of nothing has promise to reset my balance and unjangle my nerves.

Having said this, I’m off to get a head start on my break, and that even means no more writing here!  Sorry to anyone looking for weight loss wisdom, diet details, real life grit, exercise stories or the like - I’m off duty!!
