Hi ladies,
I'm trying to come to this morning. My allergies have been really bad the last several days and its like I'm in a fog all the time. Worse than the fog is the fatigue.
I have a big elephant in the room that I need to deal with. And its not exactly me!
It is my tendency to do really good during the first part of the week and then fall apart starting on Thursday. I didn't so much as do a whole bunch of overeating as I quit planning and logging my food. And I see that I tend to forget posting here too.
That is definetly a behavior I want to work on.
I had a good riding lesson on Saturday. And then a nap.
But I did get my lazy rear end up and head outside to do yardwork. I'm beginning to whine about how tired I am of doing all the trim work around the place. My push string mower was annoying me as the plastic string kept breaking. So instead of giving up, I got the regular weedeater and a significant chunk of the trim work with that. That was a bicep and shoulder muscle building effort. I did a couple of hours more yesterday until my arms felt like they were going to fall off and it was almost out of gas. My reward was to float around in the pool.
I've also been spending a lot of time at the new computer trying to get the whole financial thing going again. While I saved about 98% of everything, I'm having to reload some software and try to figure out how to retrieve some other stuff because you can't copy software over from one harddrive to another. I finally figured out how to retrieve my Palm software and all the address info that I have. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to retrieve all my email info but sadly, haven't gotten that to work yet. Its just amazing how much of a time killer all this computer stuff is.
I really need a personal/farm assistant. I just haven't figured out how to get one that would just live with us and not expect much pay.
Guess that's why our ancestors had all those kids - farm help.
Okay, back to the health focus. This week's challenge is about either eliminating something to cut a few calories or making a healthy swap to reduce calories or fat or sugar, etc. My goal is to get my calories down to 1700 a day by doing this. I also will get a plan together for the week and get regrouped for mental intensity and commitment. Yeah, determination, that's the word!
Better get this posted and catch up with the rest of your posts tonight. Work beckons!
to all!
