It may be raining outside but it's still a good day for a day off...

Good morning, everyone!!!

​These last two days have been overcast and no sunshine, but I have still managed to enjoy the time off the day job :) Sure,  I'd rather have sunshine, but rain holds it's own purpose in this world as well, so it's all good.

​Hubby and I were at the store yesterday and we found a perfect bike for me. I know I know we didn't need another bike, but hey, I'm a bit older now, so I sorta kinda require one that won't kill my ass. :) I can't wait to start riding it, because no, I don't ride in the rain. I will have him air up the tires and make sure it is ready before he heads out west again, that way as soon as we have a nice day, I'll get to riding :)

​We will be starting a limited calorie diet together here in the next couple of weeks. Then when he comes home each time we can go into the doctor's office for an accountable weigh in. I adore the doctor we go to, she's so very personable and easy to talk to. She's not a tyrant when it comes to things and is willing to listen when we talk. She was really cool about our concerns on weight gain and was also pleasantly nice about things as well as helped us come up with a reasonable solution. She's a realist, she knows that it's a lifestyle not a diet that will help you take off weight and keep it off. And if we can just make things a habit then it will work :) 

So, now the hard part goes into play. Hubby wants it but doesn't know if he is strong enough to maintain it, so that's why we both are doing this together :) To be each other's support system. I figure the best way to begin is to pick a date. Which is what I plan on offering this morning after he's up and around :) 

​I've been enjoying the peace and quiet this morning. Two grandchildren sleeping on the couch and loveseat. Hubby sound asleep in our room. The youngest son asleep upstairs. I caught up on sleeping last night so I'm well ready to go today :)

​Sometimes you just have to take a few minutes to yourself in the early hours of the morning to start your day off right. :)

​Well I guess I better get some blueberry pancakes started before this crowd awakes.

Everyone have a lovely day!!!

Blessings to all!!!
