Exercise is done . Well day 1 at the branch is done just have to get through Fri. On my lunch the manager made me move my car as it was in the designated spot for snow removal. There is no snow in fact yesterday it was 50 degrees outside. My boss was there so I was watched over so I didn't get eaten alive. She asked me why I moved my car I said its where the snow goes. She rolled her eyes and said OH. I just do my job and keep to myself.

Got my morning workout in and eating planned for the day. I have 3 pass days in Nov. The most since I started UAC. But shouldn't have another so I will just make the circle

I like reading @2020pinktogo. She causes me to elaborate. Heh, maybe we cause each other to elaborate.
No winners circle for me. I been too lax at reporting in.
I am kind of tracking mostly and I got my weight maintained.
My wife wants to lose more weight. I think she looks fine but losing weight is always good.
Hard part of that is that I am the resident nutritionist around here.
The other hard part about that is that I typically get 4 or 5 thousand exercise calories per week. That is because I am retired. She only gets step type exercise and that don't add up to much.
So we got a massive difference in what we can get away with eating. So it is salads for "us" while I am sneaking in massive carbs when she ain't looking.

Buddy - Did I ever tell you guys about my little Buddy? He is a funny little guy that has delayed development. But I tell you what, he loves me. I spend a lot of time thinking about that. I spend a lot of time with him. His mom is happy as a clam that we latched on to each other. Family dynamics, she calls me grampa Bob. Buddy, he just laughs and laughs.
I belt walked him to the park yesterday. He laughed the whole time. I take him home, I like taking his shoes off. Well, they is AFO's, ankle foot orthotics. They ain't fun to wear. I know that much. But I take them off of him when we are done walking. I don't know how to describe it but it is a good thing and he associates it with me. I give him walking and I give his feet comfort when we are done. My association with Buddy is the stuff of pure joy.

Retirement - I drink too much beer and I don't spend enough time with Buddy.

I went climbing today. Didn't get my 2,000 but I am amping up. 24,500 feet so far for the month and there is a couple of days left. I keep thinking I will get another 30,000 foot month. Don't know if that will happen. Maybe that is all the stuff of days gone by.

I ought to put a picture of something ... let me see here ...
Oh yeah,
I stood on this cliff and I thought about jumping. Then I remembered I still had beer left.

My Tuesday was hijacked.

Was all prepare to work from home for the day (in preparation for an interstate trip Wed/Thu) when I was asked to visit the office for a bid meeting for a client.

The 5km total walking was from 4 separate walks (to station from car, to work from station, to station from work, to car from station).

Amongst all that I had the meetings, booked flights and accomodation and set up a new smart watch (ZeTime by MyKronoz - more on this tomorrow).

It was a warm day, so I was wearing a mostly fitting size 12 polo shirt (one of the few shirts that actually fits properly - equivalent to small size, slim fit), no jacket or jumper. Yet again more comments from people who had not seen me for many months as to how much weight I had lost this year (and that I should not lose any more ). Rough calculation is that I lost almost 1/3 of my body weight between December and September.
