Whoa! I can't believe it is August already! When did that happen? We have been so busy since Friday that I haven't taken time to blog. I have journaled some, but haven't written it down like I need to lately! I have done pretty well...maybe not as "by the book" as I need to be and I have opted to sleep in a couple of mornings. My biggest "cheats" haven't been too bad though. We went to an Arkansas Natural's baseball game and I had every intention of having ice cream at the game. Instead, I only… Continue

I had to look at my last post and realized I haven't blogged since Sunday and today is Wednesday! Wow! Where did the last 3 days go? It has been busy! We went to Fayetteville on Monday find out about my husband going back to school to finish his bachelor's degree. I stayed on program that day, although we did eat out with some friends of ours that live there. We went Mexican and Rick and I split a fajita. I did eat some chips/salsa/cheese dip, but don't feel like I completely over did it! I did… Continue

Today my husband and I celebrated our 13th anniversary! He's such a blessing: I thank God for him every day!
He had to work and really, we had our "date" Friday night, so today was really somewhat of a regular day. I decided to rest to day and forgo the exercise for a day. Rick had to be at work at 6 a.m., so I slept in until 9. Got up and made coffee, which I rarely do, finished the last few pages of Time Traveler's Wife (I highly recommend it) and then caught up on my Facebook'ing! It was a de… Continue

My husband has had yesterday and today off, so I haven't taken time to blog until now. Even though we have been busy, I am still on program! Yeah!
He agreed to walk with me both days and we did 2.3 m yesterday and over 4 today! Yahoo! We stopped to stretch, he did his military/rugby stretches and I did my yoga stretches. He also showed me some squats that he learned while in Kosovo. He had his rugby team doing squats and one of the female troops was exercising nearby and the boys were kind of ma… Continue

Tonight, as we were driving home, my 10 year old son suggested that we stop at Andy's Frozen Custard. Now, typically, I don't turn down ice cream. Cake and ice cream are my two biggest temptations! But, tonight, I wasn't even tempted! My husband, son and 17 year old daughter were all stunned! Where, oh where, has my sweet tooth gone? I certainly am not disappointed to see it go, just really surprised that after 5 days of healthy food choices, it is in check! After this realization, I also realiz… Continue
