On Friday I did another Tabata. My plan was to do a "light" one, meaning that I would do it but not do it quite as hard as the previous ones, so as to "save my strength" for the weekend- to ensure that I'm not achy/etc when I mowed the lawn this weekend. But, once I got into the rhythm of this workout I ended up leaning into it pretty hard:

It has been below 10 degrees outside all day. Church services happened as usual- however evening services are cancelled; which on the one hand is a bummer (because a lot of evening studies were set to begin tonight), but also not (because a lot of snow may be coming down later in the day).

The Sunday before last, our church custodian fell and broke his hip right at the end of the service. At last report, he's going to be immobile for 8 weeks.

Ugh, let's not talk about the scale- except to say that it feels like I've been stuck at 185-ish for way too long. I need to be more active; I need to (I guess?) re-evaluate ways to alter/refine my eating habits; I need to be drinking water more. It would also help to avoid despair over not having had any positive progress for a while ( Read more... )

I have stuff of import to write, but I'm not up to it tonight.

So instead, check out the chickens behind this cut:

I think I could benefit from a "ground travel" icon. Edit: found one and used it.The Christmas/New Year visit to Phoenix was really, and sorta unexpectedly, good. I will certainly write about it- with pictures, of course- in a future post. Driving was interesting this year, but also went quite well ( Read more... )

So Mr. Fraudulent Biden has, predictably, been told by his handlers to waste no time in poising the country for a direct nose-dive ( Read more... )
