enjoy the ride

I had a good day yesterday. Went for a 3 mile walk then rode the bike around town to do some errands and got in about 5 miles on the bike. It felt good. The weather is suppose to be in the 70's all week. I got my car towed and now it's just waiting around for someone to take a look at it. Got up this morning and like a fool got on the scales. Official WI is tomorrow. Up about 3 lbs. Yikes!! I best drank a buttload of H2O today. Get to pounding the water! I wasn't surprised by the gain, but I was my how much. I still have today to try to turn it around before the OFFCIAL WI. hehe

Got in another 2.5 miles walk this morning then rode the bike about 3 miles to work. I forgot how much fun it is to wave at people. I love the look on their faces. So that was fun. I had Jett pounding in my ear "Are you going to be my girl"! Yep, great ride in.

Now, I need to get the store and get some green stuff. And for heaven's sake, Dana...DO NOT EAT IF YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY. Sounds simple enough. If only it were that simple.

Keep the mood and the food real.....enjoy the ride

    I have to remind myself that DO NOT EAT IF YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY saying a lot. lol Boredom=mindless eating. I plan on fighting that off with some jewelry making and some organizing around our LITTLE box of a home. lol Your doing really well with the activity! whoo hoo! I started my water therapy back up- and today I am SUPER sore! I think I am going to try for M, W, & F schedule for it. I hope it helps my weight loss too! :) I need it!

    Way to go on all that great exercise. I'm envious of your great weather, want some snow? lol I hope the car isn't to expensive to be fixed. I am forever eating when I'm not hungry it seems. Not sure what my need is to always be grazing, it's an issue for me for sure. I need to take that advice to on enjoying the ride thanks *hugs*.

    Love that you are able to ride your bike around to do errands - you sound like a cool eco-chick!

    Don't eat when you're not hungry - gah, I am having a hard time with that today! I will go pound the water in solidarity with you.

    Leek soup. Leeks are a mild diuretic. And they're good for you.

    Is that sacrilegious?

    Yay, for you getting some rides in! Isn't it a hoot?! I love it so much but it's been so nasty and cold lately that riding hasn't been on my radar.

    Good luck with the WI, but don't stress over it. Just keep walking and riding!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
