Haven't been tracking and have let a little more junky food back into my diet. Still, seem to be holding to a range of 130-132, which I can live with. Lately, I've wanted comfort foods more. It's felt more important to me to be mostly vegan that it has to worry as much about nutrition. I do know I need to refocus on improving diet quality, for my husband's sake as well as mine.
Two months until retirement now. I've turned in the health insurance paperwork and printed off the retirement application form to see what all information I need to collect. I'll probably put in my official notice the last week of December. We've hired my replacement. She starts December 18, so I'll have a few weeks to train her. Winding down. Looking forward to having more time to ski and hike and cook healthy meals. Want to up exercise in general as well.
Tomorrow is National Cookie Day, so I'll be baking to take into the office. Too windy here to really get out, and I feel like I'm trying to fight off some sort of crud. Fingers crossed for cold, not covid. The plague has been going around here. If I don't shake this by morning, I'll test before I go in the office tomorrow.
Yes, I'm talky this morning 😉

My mom retired at the age of 70 and she's never been happier. I am so excited for you. 💙 And I like it when you're 'talky.' 💙

Thanks, unity 😊 Always good to see you. ❤️ I'm in my mid-50s, taking an early retirement. I can't conceive of working until 70. I've always had a lot of anxiety around work, so even my relatively low stress job in a supportive environment takes a mental toll. So glad she enjoys it! 😃

Morticia -- when you're sick, you have my blessing to eat all the comfort food you want. 😉❤️ I took some aspirin and a shower, and now I feel a bit better 😊

I retired at 60 but had planned to at 55 but made the decision to provide financial assistance to a family member who got very ill and had a few years of recovery. Had I not done that I would have been outta there years earlier !! Comfort food is good just gotta keep it in check.

Thanks, Morticia 😊 Second batch of cookies is in the oven. I'm not crazy about how the first ones turned out, but that was my fault for cutting back on the sugar too much. I might have overbaked them a little, too

Hope you had fun in the snow, liv! 😃 I suspect there's still enough snow up there today, but we have high winds. It makes the drive up too hazardous because we regularly have semis blow over on the highway west of us 😳 In fact, there's an internet meme about semis sleeping in their natural environment with a photo of 3 of them in a row on their sides in the median 🤣
