- Italy! That’s right - in June I’ll be heading off to Italy for a conference. We’re going to a resort town on a lake in Northern Italy and I’m really looking forward to it. We’re also going to spend a day or two in Milan after the conference, since we’re there and all. Just got my plane ticket yesterday, so I’m quite excited about it. Unfortunately, the lab won’t pay for hubby to come, but that just means we’ll have to take a different vacation this year, right?
- Two Green Checkmarks! Yesterday was the first day in quite some time that I managed to earn both of my green checkmarks in my Nutrition and Exercise Manager. You get one checkmark for exercising for 30 minutes or more, and another for having your net caloric intake (calories eaten - calories burned in exercise) be less than your goal for the day. Since I’d gotten to my original goal weight a little ways back, I’ve needed a mental break from working so hard on everything, so I focused on maintaining instead of losing, and that meant that my calorie intake was higher than the goal for awhile. Anyway, I still have a little ways to go before my new goal, so I’m going to try to cut back again, and I like it when I get two green checkmarks.
- On a related note, I was down a pound in my weigh-in this morning. We’ll see if it lasts until next week, or if I end up back where I was the last few weeks. Hopefully it lasts and I can slowly take off these last few pounds.
- On an unrelated note, I think I’m becoming addicted to Flickr. It’s fun to explore and find some amazing photos, and plus, I’ve found a bunch of communities that are fun - the 100 strangers group for example, and games such as Tenuous Links and Photo Dominoes.
