tuesday, tuesday.

life is good. feel better today than i did yesterday. went walking w/ kevin again. thanks thanks thanks to chuck for watching the kids. i REALLY need to do a video tomorrow tho.. to get some muscles goin'!

tonight for dinner we had cob corn & bbq pork (in the croc). it was SOO yummy.

the weekend has passed.... AND I'M GLAD! i do much better when i'm limited to certain things i can OR can't do. i like being able to see what i can HAVE as opposed to just living it up.
i guess i didn't do bad on my free day.. but i see how lazy i am when i don't have my LIST of items to accomplish. i like knowing things (its part of my semi-OCD!) i don't like guessing & figuring things out. i just wanna know.
i did eat brownies & ice cream for dessert and then had more brownies later.. (oopsies!)

my new personal goal for the week is reading the B of M to the kids. only its the scripture reader, that has pictures and breaks it down. (makes it easier for me to understand too!)

Monday is over- - - - here's to the week.

what i accomplished today!

i did things today that i had NOT planned. but also did things i needed to do to complete my day.

1.totally (TOTALLY) cleaned the car out.

2.walked 3 miles w/ my kevy.

3.played baseball (or catch)w/ brendon in nice weather..man that kid can THROW!

4.mowed the back yard & edged it.

even though i did the dishes .. i still feel like the house was neglected. but oh well, cz it was a good day & i LoVeD every minute of it. wish i could do it again tomorrow and the next day.

i love my life!

its late.. and I'm tired. today was a perfect 10. i did 35 minutes of KENPO....then got interrupted by Raegan.. but i played baseball-ish w/ brendon later on in the evening.
i still need to clean out the ol' fridge to earn my extra point. and the house needs cleaned. I'm always behind!!!
its 10:30 and i still to read ... so I'm off.

I've kind of gotten out of the habit of journaling in the morning. I don't like putting things off til night time, but it seems fitting to journal at the end of my day. I'm doing well still, learning new things everyday. I've said it before and I'll say it again.. I wish I was dramatically DROPPING pounds, but I'm not giving up and feel good.
my breakfasts are usually shredded wheat w/ a banana.. snacks range from jerky, to crackers, or popcorn.. sometimes toast or granola (now i know why I'm fat)
lunch is usually a healthy choice, or salad.. or leftovers. dinners are sometimes a H.C. or soup I've made or a protein shake. Tonight I made a healthy meatloaf...pureed squash, onions, carrots & spinach & mixed it in. We had cob corn on the side. (w/spray butter of course) Brendon said the meatloaf tasted funny, but we liked it a lot. I could actually taste the carrot a little... but not enough to dis-like it.
tomorrow's Friday... then comes a long weekend of hopefully sleeping in!! (no school Monday)
AND... if i clean out my refrigerator I earn a free point on Monday. brownies??....anyone???

(this was from the weekend... his face CRACKS me up. )

everything is going well. i'm learning that exercising is getting hard for me. not the exercises.. per say.. but the effort and time to do it. i want to walk MILES with kevin, but that only happens rarely.. and i waste time during the day (when i could do my video) hoping we can walk later.
that set up seems to not be working well. as Dr. Phil would say... " and how is that working for ya?" the answer would be NOT GOOD.
HOWEVER... i LOVE the challenge. its interesting to see what i miss & don't miss. i think every day is different too. sometimes i miss french fries... other times its chocolate.. sometimes i just want some TANG!!!

feeling much better today than yesterday. i feel much more rested!!! trying to re-think my meals and the snacks i've been having.. or DID have over the weekend. i also know i need to step up my game on workouts. i keep taking the easy way out (still doing 45 minutes) but i know that thats not helping me lose weight.

i'll still take my perfect scores i'm getting, but would like to do so w/ a drop in weight!
