It was a good birthday, even if it was quiet, and the present comes next weekend, when we go to Berlin.
I made my own cake (see pic), adapting the recipe from O magazine this month. It was delicious, even if I’m struggling to find pans of the correct size. Somehow I’ve put my pans away, and now I can’t find them. At least I made good progress on opening and emptying boxes. The best thing was finding my special edition blue Aalto vase, which had been missing for a while. Getting every stinkin’ box unpacked is one of my “wish” chores.
Maintained my weight loss over the birthday weekend! Yay! Still over 30 pounds lost.
After learning to live without weighing daily, I’m now ready to increase my consistency. Oddly enough, focusing on living without being on the scale every day resulted in me not being consistent with my exercise and water. So they are the focus for February.
Exercise and water are a good focus, given that February has 2 trips in the month. First, we go for our birthday weekend in Berlin. Then 2 days later I hop on a plane for a short business trip to California. Leave on Tuesday, back the next Monday. The evenings are just packed with events, and Sunday is travel day, so all of my shopping will have to happen on Saturday. I hope to go to Coldwater Creek and see what fits now. And indulge myself of course. With luck I’ll find something with pretty colors and a nive texture. After finding that the pants from Lands End fit, I’m curious to see how CC does.
