WEIGHT WATCHERS,,N MORE:

Back again my dear blog.,  As I have stated in the past, Thursday mornings are my weigh in at Weight Watchers.  I am proud to announce that I lost 3 lbs. this week.   Truth being that just makes up for the 3 lbs which I had gained the week before but that gets me back on track.  I went out to eat with the Enrichment Center people and we ate at Guido's.  Not my favorite Italian restaurant.  I had pizza.  My cousin from Largo called and wanted to meet for lunch.  We decided to meet half way and that was at New Port Richey, at 52nd and highway 19.  There is a nice restaurant there called Perkins, and always good food.  Breakfast any time plus other delicious items on the menu.   Wonderful to see him and his wife again.  It had been two years since I had seen him we shared some genealogy and stories some of which I had never heard before.   I met a lady in my weight watchers who had the same name as mine and spelled the same way which in itself is rare.  I gave her information to give to her husband so he could contact me about family history.  I have at least two luncheons to attend next week.  There goes my lbs (hopefully not but not all restaurants have good foods to choose from and trust me I do know the right foods to choose when I eat out. 

This coming week, I will be packing my little red car getting ready to head back north.  I'm going to miss the pool here at this park.  They have it heated to 80 degrees continuously.  No ups or downs to that.  That is how I lost the 3lbs. this week; I have been exercising in the pool for 4 days straight.  I don't go in it when storms are predicted.  Too dangerous, after all this is the lightning capital of the world.  Tampa, Florida.  Lightning can travel up to 10 miles horizontally and strike where there is no sign of that kind of weather going on. 

It has been hot here but tonight may cool down a little from our 88degrees to 76degrees.  That may feel cold.  LOL.  We are to be getting storms tonight and tomorrow and into Sunday as well.  and maybe some high winds as well.

IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH:

It is true, it doesn't take much for me to gain weight.  Today was weigh in day at my Weight Watchers meeting.  Sadly I have gained 3lbs these last two weeks.  I guess it doesn't sound half as bad when you count two weeks and that would only be 1 1/2 lb a week  All joking aside so you know I am back on it already.  I will have to work extra hard this next week since I have to lose those three pounds plus two more for this week.  So you know I am not discouraged.  I had a total lack of exercise which probably accounted for the most part of it.  And I know how to fix that problem.

Last Thursday at the senior enrichment center here in Brooksville, Florida we had a celebration of a birthday for a beautiful, intelligent lady who turned 99years that day.  She is in the class that I lead about reminiscing and she loves it and so do all the others but that is another story.  Someone had made a chair cover of white satin and brought a true red carpet and it was sprinkled with white rose petals and sparkles.  One of the volunteers helped her walk the red carpet which was rolled out for her.  She wore a gold crown for the occasion. So you all know, she can walk by herself but it is a well known fact that sometimes she walks faster than she should.  Sometimes she has a slight off balance gait if she hurries too fast. We all enjoyed veggie and fruit trays with dip,and of course cake. Such a beautiful lady with hardly any wrinkles.  Every time my eyes gaze upon her, I am in awe......
