Got a bunch of Christmas shopping done today, now there's mostly wrapping to be done.

Busy day with lot of errands, doc appointment, and AT&T. Steve has had a "company" cell phone for years and has been on retainer as a consultant since he retired, but he's choosing not to continue as a part timer effective the end of the year. So he gets to keep the cell phone number that he's had for 20-some years. We had to go to AT&T to get the number switched to my personal account. He also upgraded his phone.

I admit to being pretty negative about how long this was going to take, but surprisingly it was less than an hour. Maybe it's just me, but every. single. time I've had a transaction at AT&T it's been like closing on a house. Maybe even worse. The constant upsell efforts just wear me out. There was none of that today. None!

I started a new nutrition/weight loss plan --- ponied up for Fascat Coaching's weight loss plan. It's four weeks with all the menus, meal plans, meal prep, etc. laid out for you. Today's food was:

Breakfast: oatmeal with almond milk, a TBSP of honey, cup of berries, and 1 egg+ 1 egg white
Lunch: "Rocket" wrap --- basically some chicken on a wrap with hummus and a whole lot of vegetables. Wrap had to be 10" size. You're not supposed to count calories but I did find a brand that has a whole grain version for just 80 calories.
Dinner: Green Goddess Bowl -- arugula, rice, chickpeas, chicken (can be tofu if plant based), tomato, onion and either their homemade Tahini dressing (which I did not make) or a dressing of your choice. Used Panera's Asian Sesame dressing
Snacks: Piece of fruit, plain popcorn

We met up with a couple of members of the St. Pete Mad Dogs Tri Club and did a loop that included three large bridges --- that's about the only way to get any hills around here. Fog was thick at the start and it felt like we'd ridden in the rain.

Went over to the Cambria hotel this morning, where Steve's DIL Emily works as a server. The place was dead, which was good since apparently the cook called in sick. Emily ended up filling in as chef and did a great job although she was very nervous about this.

Then went to the yoga on the beach. There's something about being outside with the sound of the surf and the smell of salt air that is so conducive to yoga.

We wandered around the local flea market for a while, had lunch, then went to Home Depot to look at blinds and other Improvements for the condo. That will be later in 2022 when any of that happens.
