Just say no
Roland and I just finished dinner and now I'm curled up in our ba-giant chair with the puppy. This being the first time today that I've really sat down for any length of time I just realized that I'm tired!
In some probably misguided attempt to lose a little weight (no, I'm not all diet crazy, I've just noticed a little more of me than there used to be and the new stuff is kind of jiggly) I've been doing a lot of walking lately. So far it doesn't seem to be doing a bit of good but I'm stubbornly keeping at it. I have taken to walking the dog for about 2 miles in the morning. Our walk is about obedience as well to get him back into shape to maybe do some therapy dog stuff sometime in the near future. But if we don't go in the morning there is absolutely no way I'm going, because later in the day it's just way too hot (as in I'm pretty sure we are only a few meters above Hades - yes, I'm from Michigan and feel like I'm melting most of the time). Then in the midafternoon I head over to the "gym" at the apartment complex and walk on the MacGyvered treadmill for another 2+ miles (this time at an 8% incline). I just hope that in time it will begin to make a difference. Even just an eensy-beensy difference would be very encouraging, but so far...nada. I've also been watching what I eat a little more. Nothing drastic, just smaller portion sizes, more fruits and veggies, wheat instead of white (bread, noodles, etc.). I've also stopped drinking beverages other than water for the most part. That one is really hard sometimes.
Today I also did some major cleaning about the apartment. It was still in that semi messed up stage that you get after you come home from a week away and unpack. I did some laundry and totally cleaned the crap out of the kitchen. I'm also still trying to devise a system to deal with bills and whatnot (Peter Walsh where are you?). And there is some organizational stuff I can't do because I'm afraid that if I open our outdoor storage space I won't be able to lock it again (lock issues). I thinking that we will need to call the apartment peeps and have them come take a look at the lock.
I'm going to go make some dip for Roland to take to his meeting tomorrow. Mmmmmm.....Mom C's dill dip......
