Slowly getting better

We're all starting to feel better. I haven't been taking any walks because I haven't done laundry in a while (since we've been sick) so I have no pants to wear outside. Or even inside today. But, I have been staying very busy so I haven't been eating as much. I had to make 50 invitations for a dutch oven cooking demonstration, and I had to make them cute because we're having a guest from another ward come and it's a lot of hard work, so we really wanted people to come and not waste our special guest's time. The point is, it took me like 5 hours so I had less time to get the munchies and eat pointlessly. I also have to teach the lesson in Relief Society on Sunday. That means a lot more time being busy, too. At this rate I'll lose 50 pounds by Christmas!

Hot

It's getting hot here, too, but it is NOT helping me at all. I still have an appetite, but I have no desire to move more than is absolutely necessary. Of course, that could have something to do with my whole family being sick, too. I have fallen off the exercise wagon as I am not feeling well. I'm struggling just to keep up with the house. I hate when you don't feel that sick, but you feel just exhausted! That could be caused by being up all night with my sick baby. Anyway, the point is, I am not exercising right now!

By Jove I think I've got it!

Last night I just kind of danced and marched around in place in the living room for 20 minutes while I watched TV. It wasn't much, but it was 2o minutes of movement I wasn't doing before. Then today I put Sarah in her stroller and walked to my friend's house a mile away and a mile back! Now, I'm not saying I should win any fitness awards, but for me it's a start! Yay!

Blah

The exercise thing... not going so great. I need to get out and work in my yard. We're shoveling all our dirt to sift the rocks out of. That would be great exercise! Anyway, I hope everyone else is doing better.

Back in the Saddle

Hey guys! Long time no post. So, my new weight loss routine: I'm going to start exercising every day. ish. I exercised yesterday and I'm feeling pretty dang tired tonight. I just don't know if I can. But I'll try anyway. I'll tell you what, I have a feeling exercise is going to help me sleep a lot better. Also, a new sleep aid I'm trying is sure to help. It's called Sarah. Now that she's mobile, keeping up with her is exhausting. I took her to mom's house today to see Ashy's dress and I felt like I was chasing tornadoes. Well, I think I may go pass out. Wish me luck... with my exercising, not the passing out thing.
