Marking the Moment and Meandering

It's time to write. MacGyver is trying to give me pointers on what to write about today. I think I'll just stick to the schedule. If he wants to write something he can start his own blog.

MacGyver reminded me yesterday that it has been exactly a year since we took our son in for surgery. It surprised me. I think because that was a bit of a scary time, I have pushed it to the back of my mind only to be brought up if it is needed. It all turned out very well. But there was the space of about six days where we did not know whether or not our second born would have cancer. All we had to go on was the surgeon's words after the surgery was over was "Those lymph nodes are very suspicious."

I don't have a point with that. Just marking the moment, being very thankful that our son is healthy. Overall I'm in a bit of a meandering mood today, so if you're dizzy by the time I'm done I apologize. I have about five minutes before I have to return to my world brimming with laundry and little people so I just want to post how I've been doing health wise and get back to it.

Jillian Michaels has been shredding me regularly, (every other day) but she's starting to make my knees and ankles hurt. Actually, my shoes are starting to make my knees and ankles hurt. I suppose the $15 Walmart shoes aren't going to cut it. So I'm going to research and find a good pair of exercise/running shoes. Because eventually I will run. I will. I did have a pair, but something about having babies causes your feet to grow. Well, MY feet to grow, anyway. Before I was a mother, I wore a regular size 8. Nowadays I can't even squeeze on an 8 1/2. Anyway, I went for a walk today and weeded the garden instead of the Shred. Blisters on my hands and feet to prove it.

The eating after nine isn't going very well. I even changed it to ten (because I'm a night owl)and I still haven't been very good with it. I am getting pretty good at what I'm eating. AND the big news of this week is that I'm giving up ice cream.

Ice cream is fine, in small amounts. Especially all-natural, half the fat ice cream. But I really like ice cream. It's really hard to eat it in small amounts. So no more ice cream for me. Well, no more daily ice cream. I may still have some on a more monthly basis. Don't forget to ask me if I'm sticking to it.

How about you? Are you sticking to your goals? Everyone post (if you don't have a profile just choose "anonymous") and let us know what you're up to.

Back to life.
