Curious to hear what the "advantage" will be. It truly requires a mental adjustment to accept "the game" aspect of this game. ;)

Weekend was good. How was yours?

I'm constantly in "game mode", so it's always weird for me when other people aren't! ;)

(or say they aren't, because "I'm not playing a game" always favors those already in control." :)

Heh, I know you're always in game mode! And that is weird for ME. :)

I had a really great weekend! Saturday was a crafty day- opened up the house to friends, set out lots of crafting supplies, and tried to get caught up on some projects. Only a few people dropped by, but it was lovely and quiet and lowkey. Yesterday I did ALL the chores, and met with my writer's group to critique five different samples (that took a while) and also hung out with my sweetie. A+++ definitely would weekend again.

I'm kind of looking at my bin of projects and lamenting though... I'm still so far behind on so many things. Starting things is easy. Finishing them is hard.

Wicked busy weekend. Since I learned I had diabetes, I've been on a different diet ("eat more food") and doubled my already pretty aggressive exercise regimen. As I result, I've lost 25 pounds. Ridiculous.

I have about 35-40 more to go to his my target, but while I am pleased so far with the results, I wish there were larger blood sugar level changes. Alas.

Wow! Good for you!! I hope you meet your goal sooner than later.

prog_schlock May 2 2016, 21:36:29 UTC

The bigger goal is getting blood sugar under control, but I will be satisfied to continue to watch my body fat % drop.

How close are you to feeling that control is around the corner? My mother grapples with this. And unfortunately, the only thing that works for her (for various reasons having to do with her personality) is NutriSystem. She feels....denied? But....has currently re-committed and got her out-of-control numbers down within a week of starting the diet.

I'm cheering for you!

I want to encourage people to read rayaso's Home Game entry this week, which was hilarious.

My bike came back Sunday, after a week in the shop. Oh, how I missed it!

We also had a mini-frenzy of housecleaning on Sunday because teen son's friends were coming over to make a mini-film of a play they had to write for an English assignment. And then postponed to later this week, after a good hour of cleaning. Well hey, at least the laundry room is decent again. ;)
