Back to Basics


Checking in real quick. Yesterday went very well. At work and with my health goals. No drive thrus Drank more water. Walked and biked both. Food was good. Ate too much, but all good for me stuff. I also did some food shopping and some fridge cleaning and feel alot better about what's in there for me to eat. All good things!


I was reading Leslie's blog this morning and could relate to what she was saying about when you make one good for me choice it leads to more good choices. Last week I spent too much time in my sweats. This week I am going to shower and GROOM. I don't wear make up and really spend very little time on my appearance. So it's really isn't a matter of time. I am setting another intention this week to maintain this. I remember when I 1st started to change my life style, getting dressed everyday and taking pride in my appearance was one of the most helpful things I did.


I called yesterday and finally got an eye exam for today. I really got alot done yesterday and it felt really good. While I was walking this morning It dawned on me that I hadn't had 2 days off in a row since the 1st of October. I really needed to just do nothing this past weekend. I think my body was just give out. My back has felt much better and my knee is feeling good too.


It is my Gson's 5th Bday today. He isn't the oldest, but he was our 1st. My daughter was so sure she was going to get a baby. I worried she would get her heart broken. Instead she Adopted Carson and 3 other of the most wonderful ( remember they are my Gkids ) children ever. Those kids really did hit the foster care jackpot. They have parents that really love them. And a GeGe that does too. Happy Birthday Carson! The pic is of him in the new role of big brother. He loves being a big brother!


Going out for alittle celebration tonight with the fam for his Bday. Loaded baked potato. Loaded with good for me stuff. Ok maybe alittle sour cream....but just alittle. Have a great Tuesday. Please say a prayer for those that were effect by Saturday's shootings here in Arizona. There is alot I could say about this fair state and the infighting and bickering that goes on, but then it would spoil my day. Refusing to go there!
Keep the mood and the food real..............

    One good day leads to another, doesn't it? And the good food will eventually reduce it's portion size, I'm sure.

    Have fun celebrating your g-son's birthday!

    I know what you mean about grooming - I've had several pajama days over the last few weeks, and it's time to get back to real clothing. With waistbands. Hair, makeup, the whole nine yards - you do feel good when it's done...I'm with you on this! :)

    Yay for no drive thrus! Good job!

    Happy Birthday to Carson - have a good time tonight.

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...
