How are everybody's love handles doing today?

Thought After Morning Tea
I think women feel fat, no matter what our weight, when the curve of our waists begins to disappear, for whatever reason. Although, as a female Kehoe-McCarthy, I have never really felt that my own waist quite measured up ("down") to the narrow ideal. Once I became aware of such things, it always felt too thick. Know what I mean? Present-Day Intention: I will not allow this unhelpful perspective to taint the leanness that's arriving day-by-day.

Kalling K-I-M!  Kalling K-I-M!  Kalling K-I-M! 

Thought During Morning Tea
Don't you find your mind much happier when you believe yourself to be getting thinner -- even if only by half-an-ounce? As opposed to the heaviness of mind and spirit when you feel fat? And getting fatter by the moment? Out of control? So let's enjoy this part of the journey, yes?

It's the strangest thing -- I've been enjoying, truly enjoying, celery for the past week. Freshly washed but completely unadorned celery. (Organic, of course, celery being one of the most toxic-prone vegetables.) 
Not since I cut teeth do I recall a hunger for and pleasure from celery.

Leslie, about the Fitbit. I really love mine; it's already changing my mindset. But I don't think you need to run out and get one - at least not yet. Here's why. I have yet to EXERCISE with it. But even with my sedentary, writerly lifestyle, without even trying, I've been averaging say 3,000 steps a day (yesterday a whopping 5,200). (I expected it to be about 100.)So I have no doubt that you, with your jack-rabbit lifestyle, are easily taking the prescribed 10K steps a day. Of course, that doesn't substitute for getting into the aerobic zone for a reasonable period of time, but still...

Looking forward to my afternoon green drink.

heading to the pool

It is overcast. I don't think the pool will ever be warm before my membership runs out sometime very soon.

Thanks for the nudge, back on my am agenda, trying the bridge with the new shoes

My morning routine is now to check sisterland before my email. I will be looking forward to your feedback Mignon on the fitbit.
I am going to walk part of the bridge today with the new sneakers. Say a prayer they will protect my broken feet.  It truly is my favorite exercise and the pool is getting way to crowded.
My hands are feeling pretty broken from Saturday too! Rare I take an alleve or any other med but I did just a few minutes ago. My whole goal is to stay away from medication.
I'm going to see if I can't hire Will to fix up my bikes too.
Feeling motivated.
Have a great day!
