Life news this week:
- Saturday I did my blogging and sent my sister a Polo, sent out some applications, practiced ukulele, did an aerobics video, and didn't get enough done. Usually I try to write on Saturdays but I ended up bumping it to Sunday for the second week in a row. Boo.
- Sunday I had to do a bunch of maintenance on my water system, including vacuuming up a bunch of calcium deposits in the chlorine tank, so it took longer than usual to get it running. I went ahead and combined all that with doing laundry and taking out the trash so I could get all the sweaty work done at once. After that I relaxed and worked on my book in between putting some things away in the house. I did some reading and some silly quizzes. Talked to Jeaux on the phone while putting away laundry.
- Monday at work I wrestled meeting arrangements and project research. Did some Polos with Meggie. Worked on my book for a long time, practiced ukulele, and played DDR. I put some wreaths together from craft store materials I got last week and finally got this season's wreath up on the wall. Wrote back to some mails and wrote a book review.
- Tuesday I had some meetings and teaming arrangements to handle at work. I did some input with credit card transactions I'm doing for my boss and did some documenting of various stuff I keep track of for the office. After work I practiced uke and worked on my book, walked, and wasted a little bit of time (which I hate).
- Wednesday involved meetings and data entry for credit cards again. Did some housework (vacuuming, dishes, tidying) and did an aerobics video. Jeaux came over and took me to 4 Rivers for dinner, and we went to our grocery shopping. Jeaux reads a lot of romance books so I asked for his advice on something in the book I'm writing and he gave me good advice!
- Thursday I did project research and credit card entry again, plus some afternoon meetings. I wrote my comic storyboard, did some walking and reading, and went to game night. Got some drawings done while hanging out. Sent some queries and did some ukulele practice before bed.
- Friday I dealt with documentation, updates, and reports at work, plus some project research. I didn't take many breaks during the day so my walking was way low, and when I played DDR after work I had to do twice what I usually do to get all the steps out of the way. Then I sat down to concentrate on drawing the rest of the comic and got it done. I practiced uke, watched videos, and made a Polo for my sister about collectibles.

Health Plan Update:
- Weight stuff: Just kinda stagnating here even though I'm eating like I usually do and getting a lot of exercise. Hmm. Not great. I guess if I want to see anything different here I'll have to stop some of the nighttime nibbling when I'm not really hungry. I haven't really figured out what the pattern is here but I'd like to change it. It seems very odd because literally every day this week my nutrition app said I ate less than a THOUSAND calories and this is still where I am. I'm not a calorie counter per se but I am curious why that number isn't moving. It's possible I'm seeing a little muscle gain since I've been working out with weights? But I don't think it's extensive enough to explain those numbers. Also my water intake was really high this week for some reason so maybe some of it was water weight? Let's see what I can get moving next week. I recorded a high of 118.5 and a low of 116.9.
- Nutrition stuff: Hit my goal for daily veggies and fruits every day. I've had a high protein and relatively low fat diet every day except Wednesday (when I ate at 4 Rivers)--balance was really good. I am still regularly taking vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to play my dance game twice a week and doing an exercise video with weights twice a week (so far). And I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Thursday at 10,214 steps, and my high day was Tuesday at 13,100 steps.
