Things definitely got better this week. Proctored the last exam in my immunology class, graded them yesterday. Today I am battling the onslaught of e-mails with requests to boost a grade a little. Firmly holding my positions so far.
Mysore - 4 times. Not quite brilliant, but a whole lot better than last week. A little sore all over, but this is to be expected. I took an advantage of a spa-week promotions and got myself a facial, mani-pedi and a massage. What a luxury!
And yesterday we had such a glorious weather. Perfect day. I wonder if there is a place on Earth where every day is like this? Hawaii, perhaps?
Tulips are blooming:
Birdies are flying:
And here is an alternative view of the Washington memorial:
Cron report. In spite of 112% in calorie consumption, I lost 2 pounds. Maybe I miscalculated the baseline? 4 times Mysore and ~6K steps a day - I think it is quite a moderate level of activity. Perhaps it is active for my age? In any case, I am not complaining. Feels so good to be lighter. And finally I stepped into a "normal" BMI level of 24.8. Whoohoo!
Low on fat, selenium and vitamin D. Everything else is pretty good:

hi Alfia
i love the pictures. the one with the different view of the Washington Monument is very creative.
it is possible in the tropics to have flowers year round. tulips would not grow there, though.
cheers,
Arturo

The day was just perfect! I hope you had a chance to walk around, too. Pampering was really good for my soul. :) Go for it!
