Wednesday

Well this week has been a trial and today was no exception.  It was certainly a interesting day.  I spent time at the food bank and I don't think in all the months that I have been there that there has been a more interesting day.  I love my life. 
The Challenge is going good.  I still have somewhat of a challenge with some of it but I have been able to do it so all is good in life today. 
Lorin is building us a beautiful gazebo and I am always so impressed at how smart he is and how talented he is. These things come easy to him. Why do I struggle with so many things.  He is such a inspiration in my life and helps me so much. Can you tell how much I love him.. Thanks Lorin for my wonderful life and thanks for all the things you do for me.

Saturday

Today was interesting. We went to the temple and so that means that I had to carry the water with me and also I had to deal with eating out.  It turned out ok.  I am sure that the calories were not good but I didn't have and sugar and that was a plus.  Lots of veggies.  Got home in time for my regular walk.  I love to walk but I am having some problems with my foot.  I think I may have gout and it is really painful.  Oh well I will just have to work through it because I am determine to get my walk in everyday. all the rest of the challenge is like second nature.  I am so enjoying this challenge.  I think starting tommorrow I will go back on between 1100 and 1200 calories.  Should see some action then.
Loving life.

Thursday April 14

Today was just good.  Got everything done.  Had a bit of a sugar craving today.  I don't really know why because I don't eat much sugar. Maybe it was because I can't have it right now.  Tommorrow is another day.  Bring it on!!

Wednesday

Today was a bit harder. Not the eating. That part is easy. My knee decided to hurt, really hurt.  I got enough walking in but it is really sore. Hopefully it will feel better tommorrow.  All the rest was not a problem.  I am a litte discouraged about the weather. I really wish that it would warm up a little. I am so tired of the cold weather.  I am so ready for spring.  Oh yeah the water is so great. I think for the last while I have not been drinking enough water. I am so happy for a challenge that helps to remind my to drink drink drink.  I am so enjoying the challenge.

Another Day

Well it is another day of the challenge.  So far so good.  I have been able to eat all my fruit and will finish the vegetables at dinner tonight.  I also have made it through the water, the scriptures and the good deed.  I walked and will probably do that again this evening. This counts as writing in my journal and so long as I get my sleep tonight I will be fine.  I think that will happen because I am really tired. The weather has been nice so I have been able to spend some time soaking in the vitamin D. Yard work makes me tired even tho sometimes I don't get much done.. Well time to think about dinner. I will probably be back tommorrow.

New Day!

Today was the first day of the health challenge. I think it went well I have done my exercise, drank my water, ate my veggies and fruit, did my good deed.  All I have to do is to read my scriptures. I will do that before I go to bed to get my 6 hours of sleep. This may not be all bad. It was challenging for lunch at the food bank today.  I took a 100% wheat roll for lunch.  I even got up this morning and made my own. It was interesting how when the people that I work with found out what I was doing how much they tried to help me.  It is funny how many people would love to be doing a challenge but are not ready to commit. Well off to walk with my husband. I really do love to walk, I will have to try to introduce some other exercise.

A new Sunday

Today I  gave my talk in church. I think it went well, at least I hope it went well. Tommorrow starts the challenge.  I am excited about starting the challenge.  I hope I can stick to it and make myself a little healthier.  I will be spending more time on blog trying to keep myself on track. I will have to start a little earlier in the day in order to be able to get all that I need to get done done on time.

A New Day

Well already it is a new day. Saturday to be exact, usually one of my favorite days of the week but this week Lorin has to work and Mom and I had to clean the church. Now I don't mind cleaning the church but I really am much happier when Lorin is home and can push those obnoxious vacuums that they have up there. Mom and I got her done tho and it didn't really take us to much time.  It really wasn't a bad job.
Now it is off to the next task of the day which is watching Behle's softball game. Now I really like to watch the games but it is only 37 degrees outside and the bleachers are metal. Now I am thinking it will be a little cold to sit there for a hour and a half. I hope we don't freeze to death.
   I went out to the green house this morning and it was a bit chilly in there.  I go out every morning and give my little tomato plants a pep talk and try to get them to grow. This morning as I opened the door and peeked in I could almost hear them telling me that they were cold. The thermometer said 37 degrees. Now mind you my tomatos like it warm so I told them to pray for spring with the rest of us and maybe just maybe later today would be better.  I hope that happens because I am sure ready for a little warmth.
   I also have to prepare a talk for church tommorrow.  I think I am the queen of procrastination.  I have done the research but I need some time to put it together. Hopefully that time will come sometime today.
I also have a baby shower to go to this afternoon.  I love baby showers and this one should be great.
Well now that I have written down my days list of to dos I think maybe I better get started because the list here is just a start of what I have got to get done today.  Laundry is  calling and a ball game is about to begin. Later.

My Life Today!1

Oh my goodness. I woke up this morning and realized that I am a grandmother of a 14 year old girl this morning.  It is Cassie's birthday and she is 14!!  14 how did that happen?  Wasn't it just yesterday that she was just learning to walk? Oh my where has my life gone and where is it going? I have 6 grandkids that I love very much. I am happy with my life right now but seem to be always looking for something new.  I have just undertaken some new activities and am having a great time trying to learn some new things.  I am trying to evaluate my life and make some changes because even tho for the most part I am happy with myself I find myself sometimes driving myself crazy and if that is the case I wonder about what I am doing to other people. My poor husband must be a saint. I love you Lorin!!  Anyway I am undertaking a new 8 week health challenge and hope to be able to track it with this blog.  Probally not  interesting to anyone else but seems as good as anyway to keep myself on track. Hopefully it works. Monday is D day so I am trying to get myself ready and if the right frame of mind this weekend.  Well off to begin my day so Dear Blog I will visit you again soon.
