Finally got a break

Yea finally... ever since the beginning of August (the day after I came home from vacation) I have been watching my grandfather. From Wednesday night to Sunday afternoon I heard no whistle, did no work, got woke up none, I finally got to take a break! I went and stayed at my boyfriends parents house and relaxed the whole time. It was amazing (would've been nice to get out more but beggers can't be choosers) I wish I could do that more often.

Well hope everyone is in good spirits! Hope everyone had a good weekend!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
