Renee's Blog (8)

as i've been incredibly busy the past 5 months or so, on logging on for me, though i've been reading roni's main blog on the occasion. so here i am--with the holidays over hoping to have a little more freetime. and as i've noticed that i've "put on a few" over the last month or two, it's time to break out the exercising. i don't really eat poorly--though i admit i have a terrible addiction to doritos, and have since made a deal with the husband to no longer purchase said dreaded chips--but all… Continue

Holy cow I've been gone forever! I've been super busy (and will only get busier) the past 2 weeks. And then this week, i got a nasty stomach bug that a number of people at the hospital got. Ick. So i haven't eaten much since tuesday, and now i finally feel like eating something for dinner. I've been hungry today, but just haven't had an appetite--nothing was appealing. But the spaghetti i'm having right now is the first food i've enjoyed since tuesday lunch. anyway, haven't exercised much lately… Continue

I can't even describe to you what i managed to eat over the holiday weekend. especially with the parents on sat/sun and Ty on Sun/mon...ick...can i say junkfood? ick. but in an effort to go through the rest of the week ok, i went to TJ's--it's been a long time, as i've been lazy in going and have just been going to the regular supermarket (TJ's by me is rather small, and has very limited parking). but i rediscovered one of my favorites that i have never seen anywere else: Smuckers diet cranberry… Continue

total crap of a night. got home, rather cold outside, i could see my breath...and just didn't feel like taking buckeroo out for his usual walk. we just did an abbreviated version. and then came dinner....oooohh dinner. mac and cheese, some french fries, and a little peanut butter. i feel sick. i had an outstanding day today, so i'm not quite sure what happened when i got home! ok, i'm just going to brag: so i am working at this hospital full time under supervision until i finally graduate and re… Continue

I forgot to list my exercise totals!: 5 miles of commute, plus 14 miles of walking with buck! wow! I logged in 19 miles of walking (not counting the extra walking i mentioned, to walgreens, or moving around the hospital--I'm an OT (almost) so i move a lot!). I am incredibly impressed with myself and very proud. Continue

Hard to believe, but I have already started slacking on writing, though I have been selectively reading a bit every night! Anyway, I've been really proud of myself this past week. It's been pretty here, so that has helped. Exercise: Total commute walking (AM and PM) is about a mile (walk to bus stop, then walk to hospital, then repeat for ride home). Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri, and Sun I took buck the pup on a 2.5 - 3.0 mile walk (depending on the route). And then if I add in any extra walking (which… Continue

ok, so for the first time in my life, i really feel like i want to be active--i want to get outside and run around after work; i want to be outside on a nice day during the weekend; etc. And though i am beginning to do this regularly, i have a pup who just won't walk! I mean, he loves going to the park--oh the smells!--but he just plods along, nose in the air, sniffing around. we do a 3 mile loop around the park and back to my place--usually half way through he tosses his body on the ground, and… Continue

so this is what i just posted today, and then i realized there was something new! so new blog it is! which is good, because i wasn't great at posting before, so i'm hoping to get that total new start feel. So i haven’t posted in a very long time….sorry…. A lot of things have happened since last november–i’m now engaged and getting married in august–soon!…I’m almost completely done with my master’s (i no longer have classes, i just have been working full time with supervision at 2 different ho… Continue
