So far....

I have logged my food intake for 3 days. I've done really good except for yesterday. We stopped at Sonic while we were out. I had just walked 1 and 1/4 mile too. I should have gotten the salad but they had only 2 to choose from. Neither looked good. I know, no excuses! I did however come home and calculate the points. Put me 28 over, yikes! But I counted them and marked them off. So I did use part of the 49 weekly. I never use them. This time. I did.

We are trying to simplify life. I was willing to give up my Blackberry. I had since Christmas but still didn't really see what all the hype was about it. It was like walking around with a mini laptop in your pocket. You had everything right there in your phone. I could check email, Facebook, Twitter and anything else I needed to check. I didn't like it. I want freedom from the computer when I leave home. I do have some texts set up through my LG Chocolate Touch for Facebook. Only certain people though. I don't want to be tied to my phone at all times. It's my lifeline to my kids and husband but that's all I want. We are also going to get rid of the satellite dish. I will keep Netflix. I also need to invest in a Roku for the bedroom so we can watch Netflix in there. Have to buy a digital converter box as my TV is still analog. No sense buying a new TV if the one I have still works. We would like to see our kids outside more away from the TV, computers and video games. I want to be outside exploring with them. We have wasted too many years and too much money on things that we don't really need.

Talking myself into going out for a walk. I would love to run! I've never ran in my life for fun. I want to do it! I'm just afraid I can't. I don't want people to see me and say "OMG, did you see that lady running? Did you see how big she is?", yep that's what scares me most. Need to get over that.
