Finally warmer weather!

Dec 16, 2016

Finally I woke up to 59 degrees, in Palm Desert, Calif.  I plan to go to the pool today!  I left Las Vegas yesterday about 11:30 AM and look the scenic route, good roads 70 mph and beautiful desert with a beautiful border of purple, blue, grey, mountains all around.  Joshua trees and lots of sand and not a lot else.  One stop I made for a break (thank God I didn't need gas), it was the only station around and regular gas was $3.19) it was called Terrible, and it was!  I was finally able to get gas at $2.55, which was still high but better.  

There was a Ghost Town I could have gone to but I had seen one before and didn't feel like going up a lonely road to get there to see a lot of empty buildings.  It was a beautiful, interesting drive and I arrived after dark and a day early at the RV park.  They had spaces and I could pull through to park. (For those of you, new to the RV thing, that is a big deal, as backing into a space at night (or in the day) could get very interesting without help.  As it was I pulled into someone else's spot (they were gone for the day).  My first clue was the water hose was there,  I just hooked up my electric and thought I would do the rest in the morning in daylight.  Then I walked around the RV and saw a mat on the ground with 2 lawn chairs, indicating that the spot was taken.  There was a lady next door, doing something on her phone, watching me pull in, hook up and I spoke to her but she was either deaf or very unfriendly.  Anyway, I quickly unhooked the electric, backed out and found another unoccupied spot that was nicer anyway.  I am surrounded by palm trees.  Not far from the pool which is open from 8 AM to 10 PM. Woopee!

The literature said we could pick the  fruit?  Don't know what that is about.  The Dates grow in the top of the Palm trees, I'm not going there.  I guess I will find out.  It is like manna from heaven, you can only pick what you can eat in a day.

OK, my health report:

Cold is better,

I have lost a total of 8 1/2 lbs.

19 1/2 inches

Blood pressure 134/91

No medication

No exercise (going to fix that today at the pool)

I am still on the Shaklee 180 plan and am so glad I did this before the Holidays and I will be so far ahead in January when I usually set my "New" goals for the year.  I will be "running" with the new me by then!
