Good morning. It's a cold, but bright day here this morning - it was 24° when I got up, which is too cold for Florida. Now that the sun is up the temperature has risen quickly, so it might be a decent day after all.
I hope everyone is doing well. I know some parts of the country are in the middle of a devastating snow storm, many without power. Please be safe.
We spent the past week on a short vacation to Las Vegas... We had a really good time, even though is it was colder than we'd like it to be. Las Vegas still has a mask mandate in effect, so wherever we went, indoors, we had to mask up. It didn't take long to figure out that the mask was also good at protecting the face from the biting wind, when outdoors, as well.
Anyway, we arrived back home early Friday morning and as you can imagine, my weight didn't fare too well after 4 days in Vegas, in spite of the fact that we walked up to 15,000 steps (for me, according to my Fitbit), which is right at 6 miles, each day. We didn't eat all that "much" food, but since we were eating out, all of it was loaded with salt and of course, most was none too healthy, except the grilled salmon w/veggies, I had one day. Other than our meals consisted of breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage and biscuit, lunch was a burger or pizza and dinner was either pizza or snacking in our room... Not good.
Needless to say, I'm not real happy with the scale since we got home and have to get back to business and start losing again. I know, at least, part of the weight I put on - about 4 lbs - is fluid, but not all of it.
I hadn't mentioned it, but I fell in the bathroom a couple of weeks ago and messed up my hand. I have to get into an exercise routine in order to rebuild my balance before I hurt myself "really" bad. I'll be working on that this week.
In addition, tomorrow I have an appointment to see an ocular plastic surgeon for consultation about my drooping/sagging eyelids. It's been determined that they're blocking my peripheral vision and I'm hoping it won't take a long time to get in for the surgery.
On that note - I seem to have my work cut out for the next while. I hope you've managed to meed/exceed whatever goal(s) you've set for yourself.
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
