8:30 am Musings
Yesterday was primarily spent outdoors. I cleaned up the front yard and mowed the lawn. This was the first mowing this year. Then in the afternoon I did my coulee walk. The net result this morning was a drop of one pound in my weight. It is a beginning. I plan to contact the fitness center this morning and arrange for my first visit. I am determined to get in shape.
Today is election day in Alberta. My personal view is very positive. Regardless of who wins, it is already clear that there will at least be an opposition for the first time in decades.
10:00 PM Life
The fitness center finally phoned back. I need to put down the deposit for the first visit before it is set up. I will do that tomorrow morning. I continue to make my coulee walks a regular feature of the day. The objective is to lose an average of two pounds per week. Nothing dramatic.
With the warm weather, my thoughts turn to barbecuing. It looks like I need a new splash cover for the bottom but the machine is still functional. I barbecued a Costco salmon for dinner. This is the first barbecue of the season. The salmon, with Bev's marinade, was delicious.
I was disappointed with the results of the election. I was hoping for more of an opposition. Oh well. At least there will be more than in the last sitting.
