Some stuff
A few things that have happened in the past few weeks:
Capt Mike, Dexter, Zeppelin, and I enjoyed a day at the beach. We were even able to sit on a patio in the sunshine (while wearing our North Face fleeces). Can't do that in Ontario in February.
My new lifestyle plan is going quite well. In fact, I need to get most of my pants and skirts re-tailored. I also feel quite a bit better, mentally and physically. I don't mind looking at myself in the mirror, and I feel a little more solid when I'm running and working out. Those are both pretty good things. I've also noticed my digestion has improved (I know you were all very curious about that...).
Capt Mike and I went out for a lovely Valentine's Day meal at The Grille at Morrison House, in Alexandria. We were the youngest couple there by at least 25 years... in fact, we looked so out of place that we got carded. Sadly, knowing that Capt Mike was doing the driving, I had left my ID at home. Being almost 30 (gasp), I didn't think it would be a problem, but they insisted, and poor Capt Mike had to drink his complimentary glass of champagne alone. However, a very nice, though drunk, older gentleman took a shine to us as we were waiting for our table, and he used his connection with the bartender to get me a glass of pinot noir served in a tumbler, so it looked like cran-grape juice to any nosey inspectors who might have seen us.
I've been accepted to St. Lawrence College. I had applied there for three programs, but if I accept their offer, I will be enrolling in their Culinary program in the fall. I am still waiting for a response from Queen's for the MPA and BEd programs though before I make my final choice. I have, however, informed the NRC that I will be taking a year's leave of absence for personal/education reasons starting next September. They're supportive of it, so that's one less thing to worry about.
And so, life goes on. I just need to find more time to practice my guitar and blog. :-)

Sounds very good! Your positive results are motivation for me :-) I actually just signed up on Friday but have been hit hard with a bad cold. I'm so full of slot I can barely eat anything but yogurt and juice and even that tastes like... snot. On the up side, it's jumpstarted the weightloss part of my desired changes. It's had the complete opposite effect on the increased activity and eating more healthfully part of my desired changes.
I'm gonna go rinse my sinuses again. But when this blows over (pun intended) I intend to not put the 4 lbs I've lost back on. But that'll be because I'll actually be getting some physical activity.
Gonna try walking for 30 minutes at lunch to start with, in addition to 30 minutes at home on the elliptical.
