Another this and that

 So Elton John became an EGOT last night — Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.  Well deserved.  You’ll remember we saw the farewell tour when he played Nassau Coliseum in 2022.

  

Working from home today.  I usually go to the office on Tuesdays, but it snowed … only a few inches, but if I don’t have to drive in that mess …

I found a really, really wonderful gluten free product!  Chocolate chip cookie dough  Bought a package at Trader Joe’s, baked a few at home … I’d serve these to friends who are not gluten free.But at 170 calories per cookie … yeah, I have to limit how many I can eat.

I’ve been sticking to my weight loss plan, trying to eat healthier, but I think I’ve reached a weight loss plateau.  Time to add exercise. I haven’t been walking much because of the weather (and to be honest, inertia).  Time to turn the living room into a gym, break out the Leslie Sansone walking videos … and I’ve started something new: chair yoga.

I discovered yoga about 8 years ago, and I really liked it. But I had to stop because of my bad knees.  Hard to do warrior pose when your knee gives out.  Sigh.  Chair yoga is just what the name implies.  You do stretching and poses while seated in a chair.  It’s good for the flexibility and easy on my knees.

I’ve now seen two friends who lost their mobility and their independence.   I’m determined to avoid that fate. 

Besides, I need to look good in my mother-of-the-bride dress next summer.
