Thoughts on eating better

| No Comments

I managed to get some blog reading in. I hope at some point to be caught up enough to comment again and not just be lurking so much. I do miss it a lot.

I did some cleaning and organizing in my kitchen and got it more friendly to my efforts to cook at home. I even got a couple of cool bowls to use for my yummy salads I have been serving the side. Ones with spinach, fruit and just a tad bit of nuts...then using a lite raspberry walnut dressing on them. They have been so good and healthy too.

I am always dreaming of a new house with a nice kitchen...especially each time my husband and I bump into each other trying to move around in our tiny one. I think it would be so much easier to cook in a kitchen big enough to do something and have some cabinet room and counter space. But I am using my little one right now cause I know I need to eat better and the choices are not that great in the dine out world. More so than ever if you are trying to save a dollar or two.

Some catching up

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend. I am truly enjoying the time off. And am wishing it could last longer but then soon enough for that because the place I am working is closing down and I will be out of work shortly after the first of the year. It's going to be a much needed break after being so busy at work for such a long time due to cut back and people leaving.

I know I have been really quiet lately. One of the things that had happened to me was a car wreck. I had an 18 wheeler pull out in front of me and total my car. Thankfully I was able to walk away from the wreck with mild injuries...nothing life threatening. I am still dealing with the mental aspects of the accident...I still get nervous when someone is at a side road and worry they might stupidly pull out into my direct path. That kind of thing. I got a new car and I like it...took me a while to feel that way cause I didn't really want to drive too much to start with. I think I could have easily gone to walking and riding a bike expect nearly 20 miles one way to work would suck on a bike.

Work has also kept me very busy and not gave me a lot of time to do much other than work. Once I get home I don't really feel like looking at a computer. Looks like I won't be spending too much time personally on the computer till after the middle of January.

I try and read a blog here and there but I am very behind on what I use to read. And I haven't really had time to leave comments lately. But I do think of everyone and I hope you are all doing well. I also want to try and get back to doing more writing on my own blog because I enjoy it so much.

On the wait lost front...I have been cooking a lot more at home and really enjoying that. I don't think I have lost any weight though, especially not after this holiday weekend. However eating healthier food at home is a big step and more so with how busy my life has become. I need to get back to WW and check in. I hadn't been since right before the accident.

Keeping balance at the moment

Life has been busy and complicated. Some things I will talk about at some time in the future when I feel more okay with doing so. Work has been busy but I am handling it okay though occasionally I feel like I might get dragged under the tide but then I get my head above water again.

Fall has finally arrived and I am glad to see it. My skin is starting to let me know it is time to start with the lotion. So I am going to start doing that and fight the roughness and hopefully make it where I can deal better with the cool air this year.

My weight loss efforts are a little stalled right now but I have not lost sight of my goals. I'm just trying to get through everything best that I can and then I will put full effort into my goals.

I hate to say but i have fallen sorely behind on my blog reading. I am not sure I will be able to catch up till once this is all over. I do think about all of you often and I hope each and everyone is doing well.

Oh one other thing...I am listening to an awesome book. Eat Pray and Love....I got it on CD since there is no way I have time to do any real reading at the moment. So far I love it....very nice for my drive to and from work. I'll let you know what I think once I am done.
