Well, I hopped on the scale this morning and I'm 9lbs down from where I started. So way to go me!
I've reduced my daily intake (to compensate for my woeful lack of cycling - due to rain and very occasional laziness and frequent time constraints) and have been watching my snacking. If I overeat, I fill my belly with ice cold water later when it claims to be hungry.
In short, I've been good about eating :)
What I have not been good about it posting. I have a lot of excuses for you... but you deserve better than that. I'm trying not to judge myself against other bloggers that give you something to chomp on nearly daily. But I've gotten such wonderful positive feedback from so many people that I feel encouraged to write again. "Again", meaning all those years I didn't write, or if I did it was whiney or personal or ranting and I didn't think about my audience, my purpose. You know, all those things an English major is trained to consider....
I have to remind myself that winter was a time of darkness, inner reflection, huddled against the warmth of hearth and home. Boring, basically. There's time to write. Time to plan. Time to share.
Spring? Not so much.
Summer? I hate the heat and Able-Bodied Boy has tons of travel. So I'll be home with dear sweet (when she's not attacking our friends... oh rescue woes) Bella , tending crops, processing foods, and writing more about all that. Plus chickens. Don't forget the chickens!
In the meantime, I'm eyeballing my Clean Hippie page for a new project (and feel free to comment there with list suggestions!)...
What do you want me to try next? Homemade deodorant? Replacing paper towels with cloth? Labeling current chemical cleaners with their future replacement (mixes of baking soda, vinegar, etc)? Or re-designing this damn blogger page :)?
Much Love,
Able-Bodied Girl
Yay! I knew you could do it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so correct that winter is a time of reflection and spring is a time of being busy outside. It is generally easier for me to write deep thoughtful posts in the winter. Come the busy days of spring and fall and I'll slap a photo up. :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, your Bella is GORGEOUS!! Yes, rescue woes but the reward of owning a rescue pet is limitless. Go you!
