The Thursday kinda day

aliskyeI am remarkably disinclined to do any work today. There is nothing pressing at the moment (well....I should read the revisions for Drive, but it doesn't shoot until the 18th) and I'm feeling no great urgency to do anything at all. I'd like to be at home right now figuring out if I have time to make anything for 12th Night presents. I pulled out my Spanish Surcoat (is it surcoat or surcote or does it matter at all?) and I'm thinking about wearing that this weekend. I haven't done Elizabethan for awhile. I need to find my flat cap though so I can switch hats part way through the day as the tall hat isn't that comfortable (or stable).
My WW meeting was yesterday, I lost .6 pounds. I'm surprised as I thought I was up a little from the holidays and being sick after the cruise. I think I was one of two that lost weight. Go me. :) Our leader talked about re-defining success with a story about her son's high school basketball game where they were totally out gunned but they a) showed up to play and b) didn't quit and c) defined success as not being totally shut out score-wise and d) played their best and e) enjoyed themselves. In a weight loss program, success needs to be measured by more things than the number on the scale. We need to be proud every time our clothes feel looser, or we decline the "free" cookies that co-workers leave out or we journal everything we eat or drink all the water we need to. I'm proud that last night I picked one late night snack, counted it and then stopped eating. It wasn't easy. I have a habit of grazing foodwise all night and had to resort to lots of tricks to keep from going to the kitchen for one more little thing to eat. Constant vigilance.
I got up and walked this morning for about 35 minutes. I need to get up about 15 minutes earlier as I'm still ending up late for work. Not that anyone really cares. The gym at work opens in a couple of weeks and I hope I get in. They are taking applications and it sounds like there are more interested parties then memberships available. If I don't get in, I'm going to rejoin Curves. My plan is to continue walking 5-6 mornings a week and add going to the gym after work 2-3 times a week. I want to shoot for a minimum of 3 hours of exercise a week but 5-6 hours would be much better.
Today I'm going to lunch with a couple of people who temped in my department for awhile. Both are film makers and really cool people. Next week, I'm going over to see them film Standoff and have lunch with the production coordinator I've worked with off and on since Buffy. Should be fun.
Tonight, 12th Night presents and house cleaning. And a comic book run on the way home.
