The year is winding down

I can’t believe that the year is almost over! The time seems to pass faster the older I get.
Sam is on his hunting trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. He is hunting for mule deer. I thought they were hunting for elk. He called this morning from the top of a hill where they finally had a cell signal. He said they saw a few mule deer but didn’t mention why he didn’t shoot at them. He also said the camper is working out great. The hot water in the shower working great he said knowing that was important to me. The kids have actually been behaving in his absence! I told them that we would start on the weekend chores when I got back from the gym. When I got home, they were already hard at work doing them.
I have been pushing myself hard at the gym trying to get my legs ready for ski season. Today, I burned 1001 calories just on the Elliptical in 65 mins because I wanted to see what would happen to the calorie meter when I passed 999.9 calories. The point went away and it went to 1000. I was hoping it would reset. I wasn’t sure I could walk after so I sat down for a few minutes. Anyway, it was quite a challenge. But I don’t see myself doing it everyday. I also realized a few days ago that I will have to get through these next few months not pigging out with all the food that we get at the hospital during the holidays. I think I should just have the goal NOT to gain any weight.
