Pretty Ponies All in a Row

| It's been a while but here I am! As with any shiny new year I made goals. I no longer do resolutions. The word just triggers the reaction to break it. Well this year, instead of going in all gung ho, I've done nothing. I've just been fuzzy headed and just lackluster. On Monday that cleared up some and I got to work on me. One thing I resolved to do was to work on my health and just be, well, healthier. I didn't resolve to lose weight or exercise. I made a goal to get healthier. Move a little more. Not as many trips through the fast food window. Eat cleaner, less processed food.Cook at home more Can I get an amen on getting an air fryer? Make sure I take my meds and supplements every day. Doable, right? Right. I've made some small steps toward that goal. I love Pinterest and I have a Healthy Me board with healthy foods, quotes, a few easy exercises, anything that will lead me to become a healthier version of me. These little steps may lead to losing some weight. Good for me! I may get a little stronger and have more energy. Yay! I may even be able to get off some of my meds. Super duper yeah! I'm ordering an water infusion water bottle and some "on the go" snack/lunch boxes. Easy peasy, right? I can bring those to work. I won't eat junk because I'm filling up with fruits, veggies, lean meats, nuts, etc. I like that stuff. I just get lazy and eat junk. Then I crave junk. The most difficult thing will be cutting down on Diet Dr. Pepper. I was given a single serve coffee maker for Christmas. While I need lots of creamer and sweetener in my coffee, there are lots of teas on the market. I need my one jolt of caffeine in the morning. My cardiologist wants me to cut it out completely but I have to have one in the morning. Then I can switch to water/infused water or caffeine free tea. Doable. All doable. I have other goals but this is my focus right now. Go me! |
Has it really been that long since I checked in? Well, New Year's was quiet. I went to the home of some friends. We had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack on the eve. New Year's Day a big cold front hit. The husband built a fire and we watched really bad movies. It was nice though just hanging out with two of my fave peeps. They gave me a small air fryer for Christmas. I've been wanting one. I spend too much money at fast food windows and need to eat healthier stuff. This little appliance seems to be an easy and quick solution. My boss also bought me a single cup coffee maker. I've yet to try it out. I have several boxes of K Cups I ordered! Life has been pretty quiet now that the holidays are over. I needed that. I had too much hitting on weekends three in a row. I just need some time to spend with my dogs and just "be." Yesterday I had a "crummy tummy" day. I do this every two or three months. It will last anywhere from 1-4 days. Luckily this one was a one dayer. I just feel yuck. No appetite. Then in the evening I get hungry, eat, and usually feel better. When home, I just lay around and sleep. I had to work yesterday so I suffered there. Last night, when I got home from the little library, I fed the dogs, ate something, and crashed. I had a really good night's sleep. I feel so much better today! It's been quiet for the past week and a half at work. People don't want to take the time to bundle up to come get a book so they can go home and cozy up and read. Wimps!  I need to straighten up the children's room so the down time will be nice. Have a gorgeous day, y'all!    |
