Weird things with food...
The one thing good about dieting is that you get to do weird things with food. When I say weird, I mean like having a soda capful of tuna salad, a smidgeon of cheese and a thimble full of strawberries. That's eating healthy...isn't it? I've been very careful about how much I eat this week...pretty proud of myself. It's been over a week since I had a soda...now that's a milestone. I can tell some difference in my body (could be my imagination also).
I didn't go to the Y this morning...seem to be slacking off on that already. BUT I did go for a great walk with E and A to the public library and post office. Not sure how far that is...hmm...I think it was probably only 1/2 mile but the weather is great and I did get out and about. I did pop into our local quilt shop which also houses the JCPenney catalog place and a cute little ice cream parlor. They had the catalog for free (which is a deal!). I got home with it and circled all the clothes that I wanted to buy when I got skinny again. I tore some of them out and put them on the refrigerator...that made me really feel good. I feel pretty committed by now...I just need to remember to stay focused and remember that I am in control of myself.
I'm going to "town" next week. Hunky has to go out of town for business and the boys and I are going to stop by my college so I can pick up my books for the classes I enrolled in this summer. Then I'll pop into the fabric store to see what they have in stock. I love to sew. Hunky and I belong to a re-enactment group that concentrates on the 1880s western timeframe. We have 20 people that we do things with and last year, we purchased a chuckwagon and hire out for meals and skits. It's a lot of fun but hard work. I make a lot of the costumes everyone wears and all of the shirts for the guys. Lots of fun...lots of work...lots of great friends.
I enrolled in two classes this summer. A speech class and a math class for elementary teachers. Have to have both of them to continue towards my certification. Most people get really nervous speaking in public but I'm fine with it. After years of speaking to Army families about their benefits and working with children; I have no problems. The math on the other hand....hmm...I hate math. Always have, always will. Had to take algebra I twice in high school to understand it. Didn't need too but knew I would need to understand it before I went to college, so I convinced my high school to let me give up a study hall to sit in math class again. Sure glad I did that. Did I tell you about how supportive my kids and hunky have been with me going back to school? They have been wonderful. I go from 5:30-10:00 and it's an hour drive both ways...so essentially I'm gone almost 7 hours twice a week. The boys even brag on me about going back to college. E helps me with my homework (the kid is a genius) and A loves to come a snuggle next to me as I read my textbook. I have a great family...so very lucky.
I'm feeling nostalgic right now. Not sure if it is the weather...or lack of food ;0)
