Weigh In Day and Election Day (April 28, 2025)

 Today was weigh in day.

I had some treats on the weekend so I was expecting to be up, I just wasn't sure by how much.

I was 220.4 lbs.

That's up 2.8 lbs since last week.

What a roller coaster but at least I'm trending down overall.

Back on track today.

Jason looked up his results from the run yesterday, he came in 16th place overall.

He came in first place for the men's 50-59 age category.

I'm so proud of him!

I had planned on hopping on the treadmill when I went home at lunch time but Crystal was there giving Mom a massage so Jason and I went out for a walk instead.

Today is election day and while I'm hoping the Conservatives pull out a win, I kind of have a feeling that that is not going to happen.

I didn't want to stress about it so I didn't watch anything on TV at all.

My sister called early in the evening just as Jason and I were heading out for a walk and vented a bit.

She really dislikes the Liberals and was upset that it was looking like they were going to win.

We chatted for a bit - we voted and that's all we can really do.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and obviously can vote whichever way they please - arguing about it gets nobody anywhere.

It is very frustrating though to see how things in this country have gone off the rails over the last 10 years under the Liberal government and government spending is out of control.

Alberta is a very Conservative province and we contribute a substantial amount to the Federal government dollar wise but yet we seem to have no say in how things are run.

I was really hoping for change this time around.

I guess we'll see what happens.

Jason and I went out for another short walk so I could get the rest of my steps in.

I spent the evening finishing up this puzzle that I was working on.

It was a hard one because the colors are all so similar but I got er done.

I had to check on the election results before I went to bed and saw the Liberals won a minority government.

At least it wasn't a majority government I guess.

After that, I just couldn't sleep.

I tried but I tossed and turned so I had to get back up for a bit, did some cleaning and blogging then tried to go back to bed.

I had a fitful sleep because my mind was on hyper drive.

I hate it when that happens.

Anyhoo - that's all for today, until next time, be happy!
