Or perhaps it comes and goes and I won't truly have some amazing deep thoughts to work out in my blog all the time.
Guess I need to go for a drive.
Guess I need to take a recorder with me because all the great thoughts come while cruising down the freeway at 60 something an hour and you can't exactly type up your thoughts or write them down because you're not supposed to multi task like that on the freeway.
So I'll go with who I am.
So far, no, have not managed to blog something every day. I guess I'm not feeling moved enough to do that. I mean, come on. I waxed poetic about blueberries in an attempt to find something to say. It's sometimes difficult because I know I don't do much to put my blogs out there and the feeling that hardly anyone is reading me is almost practically confirmed.
and it's hard to blog without pictures but until I can figure out why BlogSpot won't let me upload pictures off my computer to my blog, well... it's going to have to wait. I'm doing most excellently to remain committed to posting a blog post on Thursdays.
It's still been too easy to say: oh, it's too dark or it's raining or it's cold and I don't feel like walking. so... I need to make sure to double up on weekends or not flake out on how long of a walk I take on those days when I do take my walks.
So far so good my weight has fluctuated within a half pound since the beginning of the year. Which means... that the soda limit has been paying off. I even managed to not drink it at work one day, didn't take it home and never got one from anywhere else so skipping them has not felt like I'm withholding something from myself.
And also, so far so good on my financial planning for the year. tough spots will come up I am sure... but I'm so determined to figure this out because there's no reason at my age... lol... that I can't manage to maintain a savings account balance. I've decided that at the end of the year if I have managed to be successful in keeping both savings accounts intact, I will make plans to spend one of them - I'm hoping for a new couch... but will settle for a large credit card payment to SOMETHING if necessary. Then the other account will be used as a start for next year's savings so that at the end of that year, I could have enough of my own money to put into a CD.
I'll tell you this... my new favorite snack at night is Dole's Dippers. they are frozen banana slices and strawberry halves that have been dipped into dark chocolate. the size of the snack has been satisfying and the frozen aspect means that I haven't been scarfing down ice cream because this is cold and yummy and the dark chocolate makes it totally worth it. 100 calories a package... perfect.
Let's see... wrapping up... football mania is still running rampant through Seattle. The Seahawks play for the NFC championship and the chance to go fight for another Superbowl victory this weekend. There is a pepperoni pull apart bread in my oven right now to take to work for tomorrow because it feels like bad karma to not tailgate in some way... and that means food. you have to have food. It's also a test run, because I will make another one for Sunday's game to take with me to my friends house to share.
Crossing my fingers that means more cuddle time with her new nephew... he's the sweetest little thing I've held in a few years... (right after her daughter lol) anyway!
