Beginning

I think one of the reasons I'm so bad at logging my food is that I eat such weird combinations that it takes so long to log every little thing. Take today for instance. I have a container with several small amounts leftovers such as rice, tater tots, and roasted potatoes. But none of them is a serving size. I'm not even sure how much there is of each because I dump them all together.

Had a great day yesterday being lazy. I worked hard Saturday with laundry and vaccuming so I could take Mother's Day off. I didn't get to go to the movies like I wanted, but after church and Sunday School (last day for the summer!), I spent time with my youngest playing Sims and reading Hunger Games (some of it out in the sunshine on the deck). On the downside, I didn't do any exercising, so now have to play catch up. But since my youngest is starting after school reading three

Wouldn't it be great to have a pause button to stop life for just a bit to catch your breath? Everything is speeding up for the end of the school year and I always feel like I'm playing catch up or have forgotten to do something. Lists are helping (if I get around to looking at them) but I'm almost to the point where I want to "forget" some obligations just so I can take a breather.

Another day where everyone is headed in separate directions with only two vehicles. Sounds like supper is another optional free-for-all and no time for walking again. It's going to take some creative timing to get everything in as it is.

I SO want to close my eyes and keep them there! I didn't sleep well last night, then my allergies are also making my eyes so dry and sticky. I hate putting drops in my eyes (always have) but I may have to resort to forcing a couple in just so I can see clearer.

Wow! I didn't realize how long it's been since I blogged. Busy, busy, busy. I had my physical yesterday and someone came in to talk to me about preventative health. When she asked if there was something I wanted to change about my health it didn't even take a heartbeat to reply 'my weight'. So we realized one of my biggest problems is that I don't have a goal. We set up my goal to be 20 lbs, walking 30 minutes at least 3 times a week, and to log it on a calendar. I

The crud has moved to my chest, just like last time my cold/allergies attacked. I'm trying to push through it, but it's so cold in the office and so warm and humid outside. But I can't be sick because I've got too much to do.

Cold/allergies worse. I was able to do my toning exercises this morning, but my head got worse as the day went on. Now it feels like it's moving into my chest. No walking today.

A busy day starting already, but not as crazy as yesterday. Must be because I remembered my pedometer today. And I don't know what I'm allergic to, but my nose has been acting up the last couple days and I've been sneezing this morning. Weird how that never bothered me when I was younger.

Wow! Of all the days to forget my pedometer! It's been just hopping here at work! (Case in point: I've been interrupted twice typing this!) And I've been wearing it every day (even weekends) for months, so I don't know why I forgot today. I'm going to have to guess on my steps.
