Sunday Morning Dec 10th

 Well Saturday was another busy basically fun filled day that started with a before 6 roll out to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as of this post. The temps were on the moderate side but eventually warmed up to the low 80's with much humidity so the a/c was back on after several days of lying dormant.

I headed out on my bike to the REC for close to two hours of pickle ball play with some good players and left with a wet shirt. I came back and piddled around outside in the gardens hand watering and doing some hoeing until lunch time. We had to be at the Nymark's at 1 o'clock to leave some food for todays get together after the Christmas program at Indian Rocks Church which is a big production attended by thousands. Tickets are required even for members at 3 bucks a person so Sheri blessed us with them and then we will head back to their spacious place along with several others to fellowship. We head over to Brandon this morning after our 9 AM church service to celebrate the twins 4th birthday with a party. We will leave around 2:30 to make it back to the IRBC for that program which will probably take an hour or so with all the traffic on the highways.

We left her place and headed to Sam's Club to gas up ay 2.64 a gallon and get some much needed items as well as a stop at Publix next door as Nancy continues to bake cookies to give away next week to several friends, neighbors and postal driver, etc. So far I've stayed away from the killer named sugar which is the culprit for this belly fat. I had a garden Caesar salad for lunch and then we had baked wild caught salmon along with fresh green beans and some pasta for supper. I'm still at around 190 give or take a pound either way. Some morning I'm 188 or 191 but staying close to 190. I'm hopeful to drop another 5 pounds which is my goal before summer now that I'm back on the court 5 to 6 days a week and cutting down on my portions. I've quit drinking beer now for close to 6 months or more but still have a glass of vino a couple times a week unless we are traveling and this week I hardly had any. I made up for it last evening with two glasses and felt it for awhile.

It was finally a stay at home evening as we had a delicious supper around 5:30 and then some TV time watching some college basketball then it was time to hit the shower and then some horizontal lab time afterwards, LATER
