less of a hermit

Got in a great 4 mile walk this morning. I looked like a rain cloud had followed just me around. I was SWEATY. Had a nice Sunday. Church, a nap and then a movie with a friend I hadn't seen for a while. Went to see EatPrayLove. I tried to read the book, but couldn't make it out of Italy. The book rubbed me the wrong way. I thought the movie was better then I expected. I'm not sure what I expected...lol.

I need to go food shopping. Still doing good with no food comas. That is a big improvement. Trying to get out more and not be such a hermit. So I consider this past weekend a huge success.

Kind of got the Monday blues. Wish the weekend would have been longer. Things at work are settling back to normal. Don't feel as stressed about things.

There is a heat advisory out today. UGH! 108 degrees plus the incredible humidity. Probably be like this for the rest of the week. I am sick of summer. Too bad it lasts till November.

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

    Loved what you said about being a good influence in the last post. Hope the heat lets up. I know what you mean about trying not to be a hermit, I need to work on that too. Hope you get rid of the moody monday blues. *hugs*

    I have been trying to push myself to get out and circulate socially vs. hermitizing. It takes effort but seems to be getting easier.

    I think it's good to not stay cooped up in the house, so good for you for trying to get out more. Try to have a good Monday.

    Your summer ends in November?! When does it start? Even though I like to complain about the cold and wet weather here in the UK, I cannot handle extreme heat. It's so tiring :)

    So, melancholy Monday it is. But, despite that you ate well and exercised. Good for you. Except for family, I prefer to be a hermit, too.

    I hate winter. But I hate 108 degree's even more! It was only 80 here today (Michigan) and I was moaning about the sweat I worked up going for a stroll. When it's over 85 I down right refuse to go for a walk...but then I don't walk when its cold either. Guess I'm just glad it's not winter, or 108 degree's here! Kudo's to you for getting out in it!!

    Wow ... 108 degrees? I'd be hard-pressed to walk in that kind of weather. Congrats on 4 miles! That is great!

    And I so want to see "Eat Pray Love." I hope the "eat" part wasn't too tempting! ; )

    Meh - I must admit to low enthusiasm for Ms Gilbert. But I DID take my boy to see "Scott Pilgrim" which was a very imaginative, unique film experience! [Mandatory that you like Michael Cera however]
    But I for one have got to AVOID the scales until my monthly hormonal fluctuation subsides... it makes me CRAZY that I can be sensible, also exercising my a$$ off, yet GAIN 4 lbs??!!??

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...
