What to say?

For the past couple of weeks I have logged on to update my blog and then gotten completely sidetracked by the catastrophe in Japan. And how could I proceed to my blog to post such meaningless junk? You know, after reading about the death and destruction and the ongoing despair? And I know it's not over (not even close to being worked out, I'm sure) but now that it no longer takes up all the main story slots on my home page, I can click over here without feeling as lame.

So, before I begin, I am glad that for now I can be consumed with such unimportant thoughts and I don't have to worry about getting food and shelter for me and my family. What a blessing. Those poor people who have had their lives turned upside down.

What I have been worrying over is my exercise. I am back on track with my walking (okay, mostly, like last week the rainy weather got to me and I couldn't drag myself out of the house to go exercise for a solid three days- whoops). And, I am completely dedicated to starting my yoga back up next week. I know what you're thinking, why wait? Why not today? Well, I have my reasons. Next week, here I come. I am going to start with just two or three thirty minute sessions a week and work up from there. Because this walking alone just isn't doing it for me. I need to build my muscles back up. Regain some strength and definition.

And, I need to tackle my healthy eating. Sweets haven't been too much of a problem (at least to the extent they normally are). My problem is while I was sick I got into the habit of eating out for lunch and dinner and it's been a very hard habit to break. The idea of grocery shopping and planning meals and actually cooking and cleaning them up just sounds so unappealing. So, to start out, I decided just today to cut one of those meals out every day. That way I am only eating out once a day (still so much I know) and then I can work on getting that down to just once or twice a week. And, I am very excited that summer is just around the corner now so I can start buying fresh, cheap, and delicious produce. (It's much harder for me to hit my produce numbers when I am eating out so much).
