Good Morning

That is so hard to believe-this is the last day of the month. The time seems to be just flying by. I watched the remake of Miracle on 34 street yesterday. that was such a cute movie, and just made me want Christmas to get here. Christmas is my favorite holiday, I love the songs and decorations and the special shows and movies that come on tv.

It also made me think of how long I have been going on my mission. In March of 2004 I started changing the way I was eating and began eating healthier and started an exercise program.
In May I increased my physical activity and stopped smoking.
Since March I have lost 25 pounds. I know that is not a lot of weight but when you struggle to lose each pound then it is a mountain that I am leaving behind me.

The fog is absolutely like pea soup outside, (it is not green though) I have heard that expression all my life and i have never really seen a fog this thick. I hope that anyone who is having to drive in this fog is very very careful.

Enough rambling, here is my menu

breakfast-oatmeal, juice

lunch-salad

supper-veggie burger, and some vegetables at least 3, I have some left over okra and some left over brussel sprouts, I am not sure what the other vegetable will be.

Exercise- the forecast has changed for today so I think when the fog clears and the grass dries I will do some more mowing. And this afternoon I will go for a nice fast walk with my dh. We walk almost 2 miles in about 35 minutes.

I hope everyone has a nice day

I will check in later

8:51 PM

There is nothing on tv, and I am bored. There will be a debate on tv, I find them pretty boring , and I know this is going to sound cynical but actually i think they probably lie through their teeth to make themselves sound as intelligent as possible.

I changed my menu some today I did eat oatmeal and juice for breakfast and then dh wanted a meal from a local country cafe so I ate that for a late lunch. and then I did not want any supper so I just had a cup of trail mix.

I did a 4 mile walk this morning and then this afternoon dh and I walked about 2 miles. I really enjoy those walks with him. We do not saunter along holding hands and looking at the scenery. We walk the 2 miles in just over 30 minutes. My legs are short so my dh takes 2 steps and i have to take 3 steps. So I really am huffing and puffing after only about 10 minutes. I probably sound like I am blowing someones house down. lol

I will check in later.

This was a very good day for me. I did eat a tiny oopsie. Actually I did not think it was so bad I ate 1 container of chocalate pudding. I don't think it was a complete oopsie, maybe it should be called an ops. that would make it part of an oopsie but not the whole thing.

Maybe I should go to bed I am getting silly and it might be because I am very sleepy.

Sleep well everyone.

See you tomorrow
