ARYN MADE ME....HERE WE GO AGAIN

Well nothing has really happened since the last post so this one is basically and primarily for Aryn and myself...for Aryn, she is going to do this too and for me, accountability.  But seriously, please, the rest of you, skip this post and future stuff written below the sign off.

I have spent the last five months on my ass, in my chair, on my laptop or phone, with a clicker in my hand.  I have loved every single minute.  Covid was not just made for Kevin, as I mentioned before, but definitely for myself as well.  And I must admit that the guilt is beginning to set in.  Well maybe not guilt per se, but uneasiness.  I accidentally (I finally for the very first time ever wrote accidentally, 2nd time, without a flipping red line under it) came across this book.

Now most of you regular readers know I am a total sucker for 100 day or thing plans.  They just appeal to me for some reason.  It was a kindle purchase, in other words cheap, so I bought it.  And I like what I saw when I quickly scanned it! Well most of it anyway.  And I have a feeling that Arnie is already doing ninety per cent of it all anyway.

The first step though, without even looking at the book, I know I need to get some kind of 'out of my chair' thing going.  So does Monte.  So he and I had a meeting.  We decided, that starting on Wed, (we have some forbidden food to get through before we do this seriously... don't want to throw out good food you know) we would execute a doable plan.

We got our one and only physical calendar and made the schedule.  I am pretty sure it will be compatible with the book's 100 things.  On every other day I put first a W then the next day a P and on Sunday an O.

  W:  walking...out at Cameron on the .7 kilometre straight stretch to the shake mill. There and back will be 1.5 klicks.  I will walk with my poles and Monte will either walk with me or ride his bike.  Eventually I would like to get up to five klicks.

P:  project, or some job that needs doing.  It will be a mutual decision...laundry, wallpaper my room, clean the deck, update the garden etc....

O: O is only on Sunday...off day.  And we decided that if it's raining on a W day, we get a day off.  Will maybe give us a more positive outlook on the rain.

IF WE CRAP OUT ON A DAY OR GET SICK OR SOMETHING, THERE WILL BE A VERY DARK X OF SHAME ON THE SQUARE

Of course through all of this there will be a large change in our eating habits.  More veggies, from the garden mostly, less or no meat for me, no sweets and no days off of the food.  Last night we had a very scrumptious veggie dinner off the bbq.  There will be a lot more of those dinners.  There is a very misplaced pic of our dinner from last night at the very top of this post.  Stupid Bspot.

Now I shall be reading the book over the next couple of days and I will be listing the first two or three things we are to do to get healthy (or healthier in Arnie's case).  I will post them after the sign off on Wed.'s post.  I might even post my current weight.  I have gained so much due to cooking for boys which I love to do.  Anything under 260lbs will be a bonus.

Stay safe peeps, don't get sick!  So far I do not know one person personally who has or had covid and I like that track record!!!  TTYL
