'Spring is Here' my a**!
I took a few pictures of the birds out side today, couldn't decide which one
to post, so you get all 3 lol. Even though it is gloomy out, I am surprisingly happy today :)
I got up this morning at 3:35 and brought my fiance to work. I had put off grocery shopping all week, and decided to stay up and go at 6am. I had a lot to get and he always comes with me, but I was thinking of how much better I feel and that I could probably handle it myself. I was also thinking of all the calories it would burn (walking all over the store, packing it all up, putting it all in the car, bringing it all in the house, scanning it all for NCP, putting it all away) and now I'm proud of my self. Within the last 2 years or so, I don't ever make big shopping trips with out him, because I get out of breath, my back kills me, I even get sweaty just loading it all up onto the belt! But today I did it ALL by myself and I was fine :) I was a little hot, and a little out of breath after carrying it all in, but I'm good :) I wasn't sweaty and My back doesn't hurt at all!!! Now when he gets out of work he won't have to help me :) I got lots of good healthy stuff at the store. I got through the whole loaf of wheat bread, and you know what? It wasn't THAT bad :) I bought a new loaf today, I think I might like it better. It took me along time to pick it out at the store, it has no artificial anything (which I just thought all wheat bread was like that, but I was wrong) and compared to the other loaf I had it looks healthier. It's Arnold brand. I couldn't find any that had more then 3 grams of fiber per 2 slices though... and once I got it home I noticed it is higher in calories then the other one. 65 per slice. So I don't know... I got other healthy stuff too: Lots of Fruits and some Veggies, yogurt, and some Irish Cream wine... wait what? lol

Hi Tina, wow I love the pictures. It's been nice here for a couple of weeks now but I still haven't seen the robins. Wow, you had quite a day. You are doing your baby steps at a slow run, good for you. Giving up something is always hard but you did it, way to go.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love reading about people's good days! :) They're always inspiring. I hope the rest of the week goes well!!! keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Sorry the weather isn't the best but that your mood was still good. Great job passing up the McDonalds too. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so all so much for your encouragement!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE taking pictures, I've just started posting them because my camera is working, kind of lol. I have to get it fixed or get a new one, keeping my fingers crossed that it last till I do one or the other!
Hopefully the weather will turn back into spring in a week or so!!!
