Snow Day 3

AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGhhhhh!

What is it about being able to go places that keeps us sane?

I remember years ago getting snowed in for days at a time, and it didn't
bother me like it does now.....

Maybe it is because I have a husband who paces after a certain amount of
time? Yep, think that is it.

I am used to self entertaining. I can write, read, watch tv, exercise.....
Nothing really much different than a normal day for me since I no longer
work outside the home.

I have been home about 2 years now...and I must admit, am getting a bit
bored with the entire thing.

It isn't that I haven't been looking for work, I have just decided I no
longer want to work jobs that are not rewarding just to survive.

Guess maybe that will be one of my Resolutions for the New Year, although
I kinda promised myself not to make any as I never keep them anyway.

Another one is to exercise more, since I have health concerns now.
Plus, I realize how much better I feel when I do move. Hubby bought me
an Eliptical Trainer last Spring. I used it at first regularly, but then
for some reason gave up on myself again. I have to stop doing that...will
set my goals much more short term this year....

I have tried nearly every program of weight loss there is available.
There are times I succeed and times I give up. I am working on the why.
What am I getting from carrying all that extra weight. I think I have
come to find out that it gives me excuses to fail in other things, or
not to try so hard. Now that I know that, it is time to fix it.

I should dig out all my old Journals from the past 3 or 4 years...bet I have
said this same thing a dozen times before this!

Sitting here one more day Snowed in, I sit here writing about the past.
No more....from now on, forward ho!

Ms Positive and Half Full have returned and I am going to go with them to a
better year!

Maybe writing this in public will lead me to a better "Trim" result. At least
putting it here for all to see makes me responsible for whatever this year
leads me to.

This morning I am proud to say I did 1.5 miles on the machine and did
that in 12 minutes. My heart rate was 147...and started at 200!
So already I know that I can do it. I put on my CD player with
Don Juan Demarco music and walked and loved it...the time flew
as I truly get into that music.

Yesterday I even went out in the Snow a bit and shoveled! Looks like
we are going to have plenty of that after all this winter. I will
get out there again today if only to get some fresh air...maybe I can
change my attitude toward Snow Days too!

Remember as I do, the glass is half full or half empty. Try looking
more for the half full glass!

I hope you are doing something good for yourselves this year too!
