Yesterday morning was a WW festival. Maybe you know that Oprah is a WW member and ambassador as well as being, you know, Oprah. She has partnered with WW to present on online series called Oprah's 202 Vision: A Vision Forward. The first presentation was Saturday. I knew it was happening but didn't know what time it started, so I found it a little late, and am I glad I did find it. I was able to cast it to my TV, so I didn't have to sit there holding my phone for the whole time. Basically, she has people on Zoom and she is broadcasting it to the rest of us. She talked to some regular people, and then she also had guests: The Rock, Kate Hudson, and a meditation guy named Jesse. Jesse lead us all in a good meditation. I really liked the whole thing. I will be sure to watch next week's presentation from the beginning!
After that, I jumped into the La Mirada virtual WW workshop. I've been to that group's meeting a few times in person when I've gone to visit the fam. I like the leader, Jacki, a lot. I like her style and her personality. She was very nice to me when I got on her meeting.
Full of WW inspiration, I took my journal outside to write for a few minutes. I realized that I haven't been getting outside very much, and I miss it. I made a commitment to myself to get outside a little while every day and to take a photo of it. Here's my Saturday photo:
It was a gorgeous day and I felt like riding my bike, so MT and I loaded up the bikes and headed to Farmington to ride on the Legacy Parkway trail. I did great the first seven miles, but kinda bonked on the way back. In all my WW joy, I hadn't eaten anything (well, half of a peanut butter sandwich). We were still two minutes better than last week's ride. Here's the summary from my biking app:
We stopped at a Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood on the way home to get some take out. It was so good!
Last night T went out to a friend's house. MT and I stayed home and read. I also did a Babbel lesson in French and reviewed my Spanish. The Spanish lessons are way longer than the French lessons. I don't know why. Spanish comes more naturally off my tongue than French, but both are difficult.
This morning I made French toast for breakfast (delicious), then MT and I went for a walk. I'm doing a photo challenge on Instagram and today's prompt was "clouds". The pic also serves as my proof that I was outside today:
It was pretty cloudy earlier today. Now it's clear, but very windy and warm.
I went to the grocery store and bought gas for the car. The car was almost empty (about 70 miles left in the tank) and I filled it up. Guess how much I paid? $19.93! It was just $1.439/gallon! I had a $0.40/gal credit from the store. Awesome!!
This afternoon I have been reading and I just got done paying the bills. In an hour I'll watch episodes 9 and 10 of The Last Dance. Since the last game of the Last Dance is against the Utah Jazz in 1998, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna cry, just like I did back then. I do acknowledge Jordan's greatness as a basketball player, of course, but how that all went down still stings.
I hope you had an excellent weekend. Please take care of yourselves and find some joy in the everyday stuff.
