Lent, Day 26: Coming Home

I like leaving from trips on Down Days, or at least leaving the LAKE on Down Days.    Even though anymore I actually have to remind myself to eat on Up Days sometimes, it’s still never a bad thing to have a LOT TO DO on your Down Days to keep your mind off of the kitchen.   Any visit to the lake requires about a half-day’s worth of cleaning before you head out, so staying busy today was not an issue.

Lent, Day 25: Hikin’

So I did my first hike this morning.  By the time we got settled last night it was really just too late and getting too chilly, so I went out first thing this morning.  It was nice.

Really nice.

Lent, Day 24: Virgins Wanted

We’re at the lake and settled now, and I find myself amusingly reminded of something that happened last Monday that I wanted to write about.

When I went to WeightWatchersOnline.com to put my new weight in, the ‘Weight Loss Tip of the Day’ that appeared on WeightWatchersOnline last Monday was entitled “Virgins Wanted”.  Full credit goes to whoever thought that one up, because up until that point I had never even noticed the Tip of the Day, much less clicked on it.  Curious to see whether Weight Watchers was either putting in an Abstinence program or just advocating some fun, new approaches to exercise or what, I absolutely clicked.

Lent, Day 23: Travellin’

Spring Break has officially begun here.  To celebrate, we’re going to tackle something we’ve not done since November: we’re planning a trip to my family’s Lake cabin near Sullivan, Missouri.  This will be the first real out of town trip we’ve made since Christmas, so it should be interesting.
