Vacation Rocks
I was able to climb to the top of Cape Hatteras on Tuesday. However, tickets for the moonlight tour was sold out - on SUNDAY! I didn't realize it would be so popular, but who wouldn't want to climb the inside of a lighthouse at night? How cool and scary and full of history would that be? I can'timagine having to man a lighthouse in a storm, lugging fuel all the way to the top - 257 stairs, 198 feet, the equal of a 12 story building. I had to take a break at every landing and all I was carrying was my purse and camera. I was thankful for that breeze on Tuesday again. It made the walk a bit easier and it was a tasty treat to stop at the landings where you were treated with salty sea air at the window. Once I got to the top the wind was pretty forceful, I was actually being pushed along. Forget the kids, they had no chance. Another item to cross offmy 101 list.
So, I tried the overnight oats again (apparently they are called Muesli) - this time with Sonja. She wasn't feeling it all that much, I put peaches in hers. She liked mine better with the granola on top. I'm thinking I might stop by the store for some additional toppings and maybe a flavored yogurt. The plain 0% is kind of dull. I must say though that it's not all that bad. Even using soy milk. Maybe I can keep this up once I get home. (We did stop at the store and picked up some bananas, blueberries, and raspberries. I had them again this morning, this time with blueberries and almond butter. I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but almond butter is addictive. I think this will be a habit to take home with me!)
I skipped C25K this morning, but I did get in some pool time. Did a lot of wading and my arms are quite tired - match my sore legs from yesterday. A good pain that I can live with - and need to feel more of. (I skipped my C25K this morning as well - my stomach is killing me! I didn't want to risk being so far from a bathroom when I really needed to get to one).
I was just in my mom's bedroom here and paused in front of her mirrored closet. The optical illuson I saw was of a thin me because of where I was standing. I just stared at the possibility. Maybe that will really be me next year.
