ready for the week~

Had the best Easter yesterday. Spent most of day out with my kids and Gkids. We played outside at the park and watched movies inside. We had an Easter Egg hunt and Easter baskets. We ate. And then we ate some more. My daughter had a delish WW breakfast casserole and then a ham for dinner. I will admit, though I don't really like candy, I did eat some. I do love the malted milk eggs. Luckily my daughter bought just a some amount of candy. She had a fruit pizza for dessert. YUM! Sugar cookie crust and cream cheese and fruit. I only had one piece. I am so stinkin thirsty today! All the salt. I feel swollen as well. Drinking water like mad.

Didn't do any exercising yesterday. This morning I got up and was out the door by 5am for my 3 miler then I rode the bike to work. Knee is feeling good.

I really had a nice weekend. I did get rid of my headache and it didn't return for the rest of weekend. I slept pretty good and I feel rested. I did lots of housekeeping and organizing. Got a spiritual lift from watching General Conference. I feel ready to face the week ahead! How about you??

Keep the mood and the food real.........

    Wow, sounds like a terrific Easter Dana!!! I was lazy and ate to much but still had a nice day. Way to go on the walk and bike ride today. I'm hoping to get some exercise in tonight at some point. I know what you mean about the salt and needing to flush it out, me too. Glad you slept well, me too just stayed up to late. Seems like the day is going by well at least it's already 2:30 here.

    You are so hard core to wake up at 5, walk 3 miles and ride your bike to work. You have to be seeing results!

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...
