Healthy Me

Starting soon to take care of the holiday weight...

It's almost 2012!  I don't make New Year's resolutions.  I've never known anybody who actually kept them.  I do plan on losing a few pounds and getting in shape in time to coach my two girls' cheerleading squad in 2012 but resolutions?  Nope.  I would do better to bet some coins on weight lost or how fast I can get from struggling to touching my toes to actually touching them but no resolutions for me.

I think my June, I should be able to do a toe touch jump.  Ha ha.  That's funny.  We'll see.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer...

Just getting in the Christmas spirit.  The holidays are either really good or they're really dysfunctional. Sometimes, they're even both.  I just finished all my shopping and have decided to not care too much about dysfunctional people so I'm going to enjoy it.

I was looking for Cheap Hats but then I found this great Restless Girl Women's Straw Cowboy Hat for a little more than cheap and think that should go on my Christmas list too.  So maybe hubby isn't done shopping yet.

The "healthy eating diet" must start after the New Year.  It must.  I need to get back into a routine where I eat healthy and remember to take my thyroid meds several times a day.  I still forget.  Not good.

I hope everybody has a great holiday!

What industry can handle the ups and downs of the economy?  Computers?  Medical field? Automotive Repair? Pharmacy Technician Jobs?

I briefly considered going back to work this week - part-time.  It was real brief though.  After thinking about not being here to put my kids on and off the bus, being available for them for their activities and homework, or just to run something to school for them or pick up a sick child myself, the urge went away.

My youngest is six.  I am thinking I will be home with them for at least 11 years!

I need to find exercise that I will actually want to do.  If I don't like it, or it makes me sweat, it's just not going to be something I want to do regularly.  So, I am thinking about a pool.  My kids would like it.  I would like it.  Get a nice deck around it, google pool safety and cover pool and relax in the pool - fun and no sweat!

I am trying to get back into the regular routine of taking my thyroid pills.  My doc reduced the dose, which brought all my symptoms back - including memory loss.  So, now that I am back on the right dose, I keep forgetting to take them!  Until I get my system back to the right dose regularly, I am going to keep forgetting them.  Oh what a vicious circle!
