I hope the link above works with the image. This is the cutest thing.

I just finished eating the remainder of my first lunch in Chiang Mai. (Sorry to type with my mouth full. ) I have been hovering on the low end of my weight range for several weeks now. I’ve also been hungry at lunch time and then after coming back from the cafe. Brian and I decided that he would order a lunch for me to be delivered daily. The focus of this place is healthy food. I was delighted by my lunch today. There was a hard boiled egg, some nice slivers of beef, a nice fried rice type thing, lightly saute’ed carrot slices, a piece of broccoli, a teeny tiny “cocktail” piece of corn on the cob, and some lettuce. I ate a little more than half at lunchtime and put the rest in the fridge to eat after I got home from the cafe. I’ve just finished this and it was truly wonderful, very satisfying and good for me, to boot! We’ll see what my weight does, but I wasn’t hungry mid day, and that helps me NOT to cave and go buy some chips or something ‘awful’ like that… Our trial is for one week.

I did well at the gym this morning. I walked 20 minutes on an incline of 12%. The first 5 minutes I was going from 0% to 12% in increments, and the last 5 minutes I was decreasing the incline as a cool-down. I felt good during and afterward. No bad side effects. :0)
Before the cafe I did a good session of old lady yoga stretches. I’m incorporating leg lifts in this to strengthen my core muscles, hopefully.

I had a good session at the cafe. Cartoon, the owner of the cafe, came in – showing me that most of the wrapping has now been removed from her arm on which she had surgery recently. She had just been to the doctor. I gave her an encouragement card that she liked. We visited a bit, and it was really nice.
Here are my latest sketches –

I love the lady on the skateboard!!!
That’s my favorite, too! She looks like she’s a bit overwhelmed, but having a great time, too. :0)
