No Complaining…

…about things you’re not willing to change! That’s right!

I owe you guys an update on the healthy living front…and unfortunately I don’t have much to report. The last couple of weeks, healthy living has not been my focus. I had a great birthday, and a fun Easter holiday, but then I got really sick and so the last ten days or so I’ve just been in recovery mode. Luckily, the antibiotics kicked in and I am feeling better.

I haven’t been to the gym since before my birthday two weeks ago…major fail! My bff Alex and I have also been really slacking on our early morning walks. It’s been a combination of being really busy/tired, then sick, now back to really busy/tired…my brother is visiting for a few days from southern California. I’ve had a jam-packed couple of days catching up at work and then brother visiting/family stuff going on. I won’t make it to the gym today, but starting tomorrow I am definitely back on the stick! I know I have gained a few pounds back…maybe more than just a few…but I’m not weighing myself until the weekend. I’m going to give myself a few days of healthy eating and working out to shed a little bit of water retention and then I’ll see where I really stand. I have a fridge full of fruit and veggies ready to eat, so that is a good start!

How about you? Are you on track this week?

Tonsils As Big As the World

2012-04-12_tonsillitis-1

I am going to admit to this right up front: I am not a good sick person. I can handle a cold alright. I’m not happy about it, and I might get kind of whiny, but I’ll handle it. The flu? A whole other story. I literally get emotionally upset when I have the flu. [...]

Like, 540 MILLION DOLLARS high. Tomorrow’s drawing will be a new world record for the highest lottery jackpot ever…by far. The current record is [...]

Wednesday Thoughts

1. Do you ever hold your breath and make a wish when you drive through a tunnel? Is that just a rainbow tunnel thing? It is it just a me thing? I kinda hope not…I can’t be the only silly girl wishing on every star, dandelion and clock reading 11:11. And almost passing out in [...]

Sea of Yellow

Happy Monday, everyone! Monday is the day that I usually post my weigh in, and I did weigh in…but I left the evidence (my camera’s memory card) in the computer at Mom and Dad’s (after I downloaded some photos I shot for Mom’s fabric shop)…so I’ll just tell you that I gained a couple of [...]
