26 more days until Spring!
Can you see a recurring theme here? It is going to be weeks before I can go for a walk again with the dog. No sidewalks at all. 5 ft high walls up sides of roads due to plowing, that are now down to about 3-4 ft due to some melting over the last few days. This is the worst it has ever been for me, desperate for warmth, sunshine, Spring, snow melt, green lawns, fresh breezes! Even the dog has cabin fever. Best I can do is walk her around the block a bunch of times around 7-8 pm before the snow melt ices up and becomes black ice at night. My street is one lane total. So if a car is coming towards you, someone has to back up into someone else's driveway and let the other car pass. You also have to watch since the roads are narrow when you are driving- cars coming over the double yellow line since their lanes are narrow, people walking or biking in the street due to no sidewalk. So I really can't wait for this to be gone.
Paul sort of fixed my old computer. I am using it now. I hope I can catch up soon with all of my friends here. He is going to buy me a new one soon though. Just as long as it works. I did not lose any of my data at this point. So I am now back on fitday program and FB and DS. Will take a while to get back on track. Also, updated my pedometer. Last few weeks have been awful with little or no exercise, bad binge eating, under 5000 steps. Bad, bad, bad. But, I only gained 1 lb. So back on track for me. Will take a while. Food yesterday was not good. Now that I am tracking again, I was 30 lbs over what I burned. So I am trying to do better today.
Yesterday: I did Zumba for 1 hr (Latin dance aerobics.) OMG! So much fun! I laughed half the time. I have ZERO rythym. (sp?) But is was fun and very fast paced. I also took the dog for a 25 minute walk last night and did 30 minutes on Wii Walk It Out. (My new game.) Walk it out: You wear the nunchuck in your left pocket and hold the remote in right hand and walk to upbeat music (most of which you recognice, like "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, and "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas.) You gain points by walking and then "zap" stuff with your remote and buy pieces for your town. 35 points for a streetlight, 50 points for a tree, etc. You also buy new songs, etc. So it is a lot of fun and I am building my little town. I got in 16,497 steps yesterday! A new daily record for me!
Going to the YMCA tonight for Health Circle and then a work out.
David came in 2nd in karate tournament Saturday. Got several gold medals and a grand champion medal and was tied for 1st place for overall (the big trophy.) David lost the tie breaker by 1/2 point, but immediately went over and gave the other kid a hug and high five. I was very proud of him!
Then he got in a scuffle at school and got a detention (minor scuffle.) But then he threw a snowball at a school bus and now is suspended for tomorrow. And things were going so well for a while there. Paul is driving me insane. He needs a vacation or time out or something. He is so edgy and cranky and I just am having a really really hard time dealing with him. Days I don't even like him, even though I love him. Know what I mean? Just sometimes I don't want to talk to him, be around him. He is so angry and such a downer and this will not go away until he is out doing yard work. Don't know if I can last that long. Something's gotta give.
We are going to get a little rain tonight and temps are going to be in mid 30's, so hopefully all rain, no snow. And tomorrow will be 42. Yeah! More snow melt. Praying for Spring! My mom says a local meteorologist is calling for 40 inches in early March! If that happens, I think I will lose my mind! I will have to take the dog and walk to a hotel and leave the two of them home. Well, pray that does not happen!
