WW, week 30

I had hoped to make my goal weight by my birthday, but knew as it got close that it was unlikely. Sure enough, last week's loss of 2.4 pounds was followed by this week's "no change". I'm still 2.4 pounds from my official goal weight.

We get next Sunday off, as WW is closed for the Fourth. So my next weigh-in is in 2 weeks. Should be very possible that I'll make it by then.

Quiet birthday

Got up at a leisurely pace, ate breakfast, read part of the paper, then went a'gardening. Same old routine there: dug more liriope, pulled up ivy and vinca. Today's efforts reduced another 4 or 5 feet of the border to the desired width, plus I got most of the other undesirables (oak and pine seedlings, etc.) from underneath the butterfly bushes. Yesterday I had worked on the same area until I was driven inside by a downpour, so the concentrated effort is showing some results.

Anyway, I came in in time to cool off, shower, eat some lunch, and get to WW. Ran a few errands on the way home, then went back to reading the paper and some email, until sister-in-law and the kids showed up with a birthday present. We're going out tomorrow night for a celebration (brother and s-i-l have a babysitter tonight, and are having some time to themselves), but the present needed to be delivered on The Day.

It's a lovely, metal (aluminum or something--shiny silvery, not pewter) picture frame in the shape of a cat, with a little fish dangling from its mouth. I need to get a better picture of the 2 cats to put in it, but for now, I'm using the same shot as my default LJ icon, as you see.
