Getting back on track...

it's Tuesday. i weighed myself. (164#) there are growing numbers of yellow squares on my calendar. i'm getting back on track. it feels SO GOOD! i was really afraid that all the work i'd done so far would just fritter away. life has been going at such a rapid pace. last weekend i was at my 30th high school class reunion and helped my mom clean out the rest of my childhood home and she signed the papers to sell the house. last tuesday was rather emotional when we dropped off the keys to the people who bought it. it was hard to see my mom so sad. she and my dad built the house... literally every nail and every board... every tile and every coat of paint... about 50 years ago and she had lived in it ever since. WOW, what a summer it has been... so many changes... all good... but they just kept coming fast one after another.
but since i came home, i've been gradually getting back into the exercise routine. my son connected up the Wii Fit my husband got for me for Mother's Day. i've enjoyed it more than i thought i would. it's got a lot of balance things on it, which i think will be very beneficial for my back issues. next up is to get the eating more disciplined, but first i want to get in the habit of exercising 5 days per week again. So... August = exercise consistently. keep checkin' out those sunshine yellow square ladies... i'm off to stop by and say "hi" to all of you. thanks for your patience with my sporadic posting over this crazy summer and....let the sun shine! :)

Glad to see you! You know, it's a good thing that you're not spending all that time on the computer but keeping busy with a happy life!

I love seeing my calendar filled with lovely colours--it keeps me accountable.

You'll do fine once things settle down (I love summer but boy, can't wait for fall :)

How much do I love that you're getting back into your groove in a way that you know will work for you. Not all at once, which might be overwhelming, but in a way that will make for an smoother transition. I predict MAJOR success headed your way!
