Figuring out alternatives
Hi!
Sunshine probably seems pretty ordinary for summer in most places, but here just having an entire week of it was totally delightful. It was cold enough that we wore long pants and fleece jackets even in the sunshine but it felt terrific to enjoy the blue skies day after day with only a few clouds to make the sunrises and sunsets even better. I enjoyed the trip, stuck to my diet, did as much exercise as possible, and had a very good time even though I gained 2 pounds. The most exercise was during 3 hours of very choppy seas, just trying to keep on course and keep my balance. We came back with a nice supply of fresh coho for the freezer and a barbecue! I'm back to daily walking and resistance exercises. I am planning a trip south, with an appointment to see the endocrinologist, as well as have a lab draw and annual TVUS for the ovarian cancer detection clinical trial I have been in for 4 years now.
Thanks for your help!
