Something about Saturday

My son came over today and rewired our satellite dish so our Tivo will quit giving us error messages. I made lunch and dinner. For lunch we had grilled salmon, asparagus, spinach, and a baked potato. For dinner, we had penne with marinara and turkey meatballs, with salad (and fresh tomatoes). I've lost eighteen pounds since May 13. I love going to the pool and exercising with my friends, and since I stopped taking the med that caused me problems with the sun, I can go twice a day. I walk, do push ups on the side, leg lifts, squats, "ride the bike" with the noodle, and do scissors. We also do a lot of arm exercises that I don't know how to describe.
My mother-in-law was here for ten days and left on Thursday. I took her to play cards at the senior center, and also took her on a driving tour of some of the historical sections in our city and neighboring areas. She seemed to enjoy it. My husband said she seemed much less negative this time. I relaxed and went about my daily activity, and she seemed fine with that.
My youngest son had an awesome idea for a book, and I'm hammering parts of it out in my head. I think I'll start soon trying to get a basic outline of the chapters done. I'm not ready to talk about it much yet. I also came up with a great title of another book I'd like to write. Who knows, I may stop procrastinating and do some writing again. It's been awhile.
I think this is the best I've felt in twenty years. I know the depression is better. I don't feel tired all the time like I used to. I'm eating better, healthier, and it's become more habit than effort. I'm still going to my OA meetings once or twice a week. I also started sponsoring a young girl in another country by email.
My friend came and cleaned my house yesterday. So now it's all clean at one time, which is a great feeling.
I don't know what I'll do for fitness in the winter when the pool closes. I'm did order a Richard Simmons DVD, but I'm also looking into fitness centers and joining an indoor pool nearby. I have to figure out something to keep my momentum going.
