1. After I finished my workout today in CdA, I took my chart to Claudia, one of the staff members, to tell her that I had increased the levels of demand in a few areas of my workout. We then looked at what I weighed when I first weighed in at the gym back on November 7 and how much weight I've lost in the last two months. I heartily welcomed her praise and encouragement.
2. Ed picked me up outside the facility and we blasted over to Airway Heights for a fun afternoon at the Spokane Tribe Casino. We made our modest Super Bowl wagers and then played machines. The two of us had vastly contrasting luck on the casino floor. Since my luck was, well, awful (!), I quit playing and headed over to the casino bar and relaxed at a small table. I very slowly and happily enjoyed two half pint glasses of Hop Valley's Kraken Stash IPA, a smooth and tasty beer, easy to drink. Ed's luck was running pretty good, so he kept playing and I chatted with Stu online, enjoyed the casino's house music, watched people having fun on the casino floor, and monitored my beer drinking so that by the time we left and Ed took me back to CdA to pile back into the Sube and drive to Kellogg, the beer was out of my system.
3. Back home, I heated up the creamy lemony spaghetti left over from a few nights ago and then fixed myself a fresh vegetable salad topped with fresh squeezed lemon juice and cottage cheese. Debbie told me about her day at work. She experienced some fun success today and, as always, faced challenges, especially on recess duty. It's remarkable to me how demanding her job is and with what fortitude and joy she persists in doing all she can to make her students' classroom experience a positive one.
