Okay, last time I posted, I was wanting some motivation in my life, and the only way I could get that way by having a plan. Now I'm trying to work with those plans. last night I talked ot Ben about the new house, and he told me the budget would be around $30,000, and we would trade up in a few years (he's aiming for 5, which kind of sucks because I want a forvever home, but that's not in th budget yet). I told him how I have been systematically seeing what's arounds by checking the one maker's list of what's available dealer by dealer and what I did to set a cut-off as far as how many square feet were definitely not enough. I have tons more work to do there, but it's haping up little by little. It felt good to talk to him about it even though just thinking about it is enough to get me all wound up.
Pretty soon after posting the last entry, I got out the exercise DVD and popped it in the computer for a twenty-minute workout, which was pretty easy, considering I didn't watch the whole DVD. The problem with part of it was there was some bending over and walking hands out and stuff to do, but Farrah came over and peed in the area so I skipped that part. Potty training is such a messy business! The next day I wandered through Wal-Mart for three hours, which is decent exercise, considering I was active most of the time and was pushing Farrah plus groceries. I've gone on a walk to the in-laws' house, which is up a steep U-shapes driveway, at which point we did a lot of walking outside. I went some places on Saturday when I got my sister ready for her Jr. Prom, celebrated my brother's birthday, went kite flying, went to the REMC meeting, and made another trip to Wal-Mart. Today I took Autumn to baseball and spent part of the time outside walking Farrah around, but not all of it. The exercise thing is clicking in, I think, now the weather's getting warmer. Next I plan to kick it up a notch, especially since I was straving today for anything in sight and doubt I have lost any weight yet. It just occurred to me I may not have many short-sleeve shirts that fit now that warm weather is upon us, so that's gonna be something to think about. It was around 80 today, which is so hard to believe.
This weekedn is more baseball practice, Thunder Over Louisville, Ben's birthday party (I need to figure out what kind of cake to make him still), and who knows what else, so there will be opportunities to be active. And as a side note, that I Can Make You Thin show on TLC is what I did for a number of years, now if I can get back on that wagon, I'll be in good shape. The point is, I figured it out on my own, and yet he gets big bucks and a TV show just for writing it out. What a world. At least he helped that lady who weighed 185 and ate 5-6 pounds of chocolate a DAY. I wonder why she didn't weigh more, though.
