I lost count of days 6-5

I don't know how many days it is of eating healthy.  I am still doing pretty well.  I had my first day of actual therapy yesterday and I am a bit sorer than usual because of the therapy but I don't mind, it is a good kind of pain.  It means I used muscles that I didn't know could still work!  I go back tomorrow for my next session.  I am planning to do my exercises before bed tonight.  I hope to learn new ones tomorrow.  I have to also remember to bring my inhaler with me incase I accidentally do to much and cause an asthma attack.  There, I moved the inhaler from my room to my purse, just incase.  I do not expect an asthma attack while I am in therapy but hey, I suppose it is possible.

I am looking forward to therapy tomorrow.  I wonder how many new exercises I will learn.  Hmmmm, one never knows.

Something has changed 5-28

I am not sure what happened, whether I got mad enough or upset enough, or whatever enough, but I now do not crave any junk food and haven't for a whole 8 days.  Starting last Saturday (the 19th), I have eaten more healthy than I have in years.  I don't really understand what happened but I started craving SALADS!  Healthy ones!  So pretty much, every day since the 19th I have had at least 1 salad for one of my meals and I haven't eaten any junk food since then either.  I only want to eat healthy and nothing else. It is a very strange feeling and maybe I am possessed now or something.  Even yesterday, when I went to the movies with the girls, they got ice cream and I DIDN'T!  I wasn't even wanting an ice cream so that was definitely a good thing.  I was really surprise at this too.  I am happy about this though, I really am.

I am getting tired now.  It is almost bed time.  I had to get up early for one of my lessons.  I didn't mind because I would rather get up early for a lesson than to miss one.

I hope this trend of eating healthy keeps up.  So far, it has been easy and interesting.  I know I have been trying to eat healthy for over a year now, but it is so weird how this is happening.

A long time 4-22

It has been so long since I wrote in this blog.  Much has happened.  I was diagnosed with an ulcer, while that is not earth shattering, it certainly is an eye opener.  I also was weighed.  Oh my.  I am 2 pounds away from the scariest number EVER to me so obviously, I am not doing to well.  I am working on menus that are healthy and yummy and I plan to check out emeals to see what they are all about.  Because of the ulcer I will have to change my lunch habits, which in the long run will be much healthier for me.  I hope to have a handle of my weight by the beginning of summer.  On to cooking better and healthier meals for me!

has it really been that long?

I haven't posted since New Year's Day.  Wow, that is a long time.  I can't really say I have done super well with food, but I haven't done horrible either.  I am working on trying to eat more meals at home.  The problem I am having is that if I stay home too many days in a row, the house gets to me.  It is like the walls are closing in on me and I can't breathe.  I used to go to Tim Horton's and get a sandwich that was pretty healthy.  Fresh turkey slices, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese on it.  I would get a tea or a diet drink with it.  Sometimes I would run into friends and neighbors, other times I would just read but it did help me get out of the house.  Some days I don't get up very early because I am so tired all the time.  I am glad that on Saturday and Sunday I have to get up a bit early and get going.  If I have to get up, I usually can.  Sundays are super early at 6:45 am for to be at church at 7:30 am.  Sometimes I don't go, but mostly I do.  Sometimes I feel like I am just floating through the day until it is time to teach.  I float through my days.  I don't have a goal for the rest of the month except for to run through drive thru less often.  That is the only goal I have right now for the rest of the month.  I am going grocery shopping with Calli tomorrow.

I hope you are having a good day.

Woo-Hoo!!

Happy New Year!!!

May this year be the best ever for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Coming of a New Year!

Well, in 3 more days it will be New Year's Eve.  Now that the Elliptical machine is ready for use, I will begin using it everyday.  Right now, I can't do it very long, but hey, I have to start somewhere!  I am hoping that eventually I will be at 30 minutes in the evening and 5 minutes in the morning like I used to be.  I can't wait until there is a TV downstairs so I can watch TV while I exercise.  I have tried reading but it is too bouncy and makes me dizzy.  I have tried music but the songs seem sooooooo long even if they aren't.  The best thing for me to be doing while exercising on a machine, is watching TV.  Usually, i pick a nice and loooong show that I can watch over days.  I think I will re-watch all the the Lord of the Ring movies to start with.  I do have a portable DVD player so for now I think I will use that.  It should work and I will be able to save exactly where I am at in the player and not have to change it out everyday.  I love Lord of the Ring movies!  They are so awesome!  (okay - except the orks, they are gross looking and make me queasy, I admit I usually fast forward when ever they are on the screen, but other than that, it is really good!)

I do hope you have a great New Year's Eve.  I am planning to go to my friend's house and play board games.  her daughter and I looooove Uno so we will most likely get some Uno in while I am there.  See you in the New Year!!!

It has arrived!

Merry Christmas!  I am going to do what I did at Thanksgiving.  I will have the veggies piled high and then a bit of the stuffing and that will be good.  I do hope you are having a good day and tomorrow will be even better!
