Good morning... Another week has gone by and we're definitely getting into fall - yes, we have fall here in Florida. The temps have been steadily dropping and although it's a long way from what some of you have been getting, it's chilly for us, considering that our lows have been in the 70's since April. It's 57° this morning, which is the lowest we've had so far; a good drop from the 62° we had yesterday morning... I don't mind the chillier weather because I can always add another blanket or put on a long sleeved shirt, but I sure don't like the shorter days - I do need my sunshine/daylight...
Anyway, there hasn't been a lot going on here. Things have "kind of" settled down a bit. I think I mentioned a while back that my daughter was having some issues; there's been a temporary resolution to that issue and a date set for (hopefully) resolving it permanently... but then I could be naive... lol Actually, it's a way from being over, but I'm trying to be optimistic. :-)
Our son's truck broke down last week and of course, they don't have the money to fix it. He and his wife both work, but it's hard for families to make ends meet these days... Of course, we'll loan the money...
We all know that we help take care of our kids no matter how old they get because presumably, they'll be taking care of us, at some point.
Anyway, aside from that, I've spent most of my time in my shop making ink pens... If you haven't had time, take a look at the photos in my profile to see a few of the ones I've made. Those were the first ones; I've done a few since then and most of them have turned out really well, although, like anyone that produces things from scratch/by hand, I've made some mistakes/had a few failures but that's okay. It keeps me busy and it's all a learning experience. I hope to post some more photos later today...
Diet-wise, I've kind of slacked off and haven't been eating the veggies I should be, nor have I been eating the healthful fats that help me lose (coconut and olive oils, avocado, etc). I discovered that adding MCT oil to some of my foods also helps, but I've even slacked on doing that, so I need to pick up my diet momentum.
Weight-wise, I've stayed pretty close to the same as I've been the past couple of weeks. I've bounced around, fluctuating up to about 3 lbs/day with water weight, but my morning weights have been within a couple tenths of what I've been the past 2 weeks, which means I seem to be stuck... This morning, I forgot to weigh before I'd had about 3 cups of coffee (I was up at 4:00 am) and by the time I stepped on the scale just as I started writing this, I weighed more than I did last night and I know that's not accurate, so I'm not taking that as a serious weigh-in...
I'm going walking as soon as I finish this, so I'll weigh when I come back and average that with my morning weight because I will have dropped the extra water weight from my morning coffee...
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it...
Now it's your turn... how are y'all doing? I bet everyone is doing better than I am since I'm barely managing to hold steady...
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful successful week~~
