I will be the first person to say that I have not been doing well with my eating and exercising. I will do fabulous for several days and then it’s as though the light goes out and I eat everything in sight. Thankfully, I’m maintaining my weight, but it isn’t how a girl can shed those last pounds that I so want to get rid of. In addition, I’ve been getting emails about over the counter diet pills that work and even though I’m sure there are some that do work, I have to say that I know I need to get my head back in the game. I’ve had something brewing for a while- and I guess it’s time to stop brewing and start acting.

Sunday Rambles
Somewhere along the road of busyness and being sick far more times than I’m used to- the 5k training took a back seat to everything else. I will be the first to admit that I’m not overly thrilled about this, but the great thing is that I can always start again and pick up where I left off (or close to it).
I’m still not at 100% but thankfully I’m headed there. I’ve found that I’m very tired and on most mornings I’m sleeping far later than I’ve slept in a very long time. Obviously my body needs it, so I’m not complaining. I just hope it doesn’t need it for too much longer because I’m missing out on some precious daylight hours.
I’ve noticed over the past couple of days that the scent of fall is in the air. Some of you may not recognize it because it isn’t a particular scent, but a feel. The air has been cool for a while, but there is a sudden crispness that wasn’t there before. I find myself smiling and wanting to spend time outside of the house. I think I’m going to spend more time in the evenings sitting outside drinking coffee and watching the sun go down. It’s something small, but one of those things that brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
What brings a smile to your face?

Trying
For two days now, I’ve been trying to get up two hours earlier than usual, and for two days now I would consider my efforts to be a big F for fail. I’ve turned my clock off both mornings and I just haven’t seemed to have the energy to get up out of bed. I’m trying not to beat myself up about it, but the way I see it- tomorrow is another day. I really need to make this change and maybe if I keep telling myself that often enough- I’ll actually make it a priority.

Who Rang That Bell?
This morning I had two friends come over for a coffee visit and I noticed when they arrived that they had knocked on the door. When I opened it, I asked them why they hadn’t used the door chime and they said they had pressed the button, but it didn’t work. They weren’t the first to mention it, and since the chime is so old, I think it’s high time we start looking for a new one. I’d hate to miss an important delivery because the bell wasn’t working.

Looks LIke
It looks like I’m going to have to block some IP addresses if all this spameroni keeps happening in comments. Granted, y’all don’t see them, but everytime I log in I have more than I care to deal with to either approve, disapprove or mark as ‘spam’. Obviously they get sent to the delete file and marked as spam.
Thank goodness that the software catches them and they don’t get through the cracks. It was quiet for a while, but I guess the spammers got restless and have reared their ugly heads again.
Time to say buh buh.

Inturruption Junction
As I was sitting in the theater today with Desere, I felt it coming on. “That” time of the month. I know, I know that may be a little T.M.I. (too much information) for some of you, but it is what it is. Tomorrow is supposed to be my running day, but it looks like that scheduled programming is inturrupted until that time is over. The cramps are just a little too much to run. I am going to attempt to get an hour or so of walking in so that at least I’m getting some exercise. There isn’t much I can do though, it’s just one of those things. Nature must run its course.

Thinking, Thinking, and More Thinking
I know I said the other day that I felt as though I was thinking too mucha botu some things, and I really believe that I was. The thing is, I was thinking too much about some things and not enough about others. The weird thing is that I was putting focus on the things I didn’t want, by over thinking them and trying to analyze when that wasn’t the problem at all. Now that I’ve been able to see that, I’ve also been able to see where I do need to focus and it has already made a difference in how I’m feeling.
I still feel overwhelmed in many ways, but at least I can put a few thoughts together and not forget most every word that comes out of my mouth. In my eyes, this is progress. I know it’s going to take me a little while to muddle through the feelings and emotions I’ve been feeling lately, but I think once I get past tomorrow, things will be much better.
I saw Sex in the City 2 with Desere last night and I have to say, I LOVED it. I never watched the show, but I loved this movie even better than the first one that I saw this past weekend for the first time. Yes, it’s risque’ to say the least, so it isn’t for all audiences, but I liked it. I also enjoyed chatting with the girls who sat beside us, who were a lot of fun. I came home feeling light hearted and I needed that more than you know.
I’m feeling hopeful, very hopeful, in many aspects.

I Thought I Saw
A few days ago I was looking in the mirror and I thought I saw a wrinkle! Yes, yes, I know how terribly vain of me not to want wrinkles, but I figure at the young age of 42, I really shouldn’t be getting them, especially since I don’t spend much time out in the sunshine and I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle.
Upon closer inspection I guess you could say it was more of a forehead wrinkle that we all get, but I still couldn’t help thinking about wrinkle cream reviews and wondering if there are any out there that would be beneficial, provided I should need them in the near future. Mom is 20 years older than I without a wrinkle in sight, so I’m hoping that I’ll take after her and not need them for a long time to come. I’d like to be prepared though, just in case.

Hormones Shomones…
Remember a while back that I mentioned buying some Clearasil Gel stuff in hopes of sorting out these break out issues that I’ve been having? Well, I have been using it regularly for a while now- to the point that I probably have 1/3 of the bottle left, and I’m still not seeing any great results. Sometimes my face looks great, only to break out a week later. I have to say that it definitely is not the best acne treatment for me. Granted, I don’t technically have acne, but I’m having breakouts and they are never welcome- but especially UNWELCOME when I have a party to attend- like the one this past weekend. Yes, you got it- I had two spots on my face. I felt like a kid who woke up on prom day only to look in the mirror and find a huge spot on their face. That was me- only it was Marcel’s 25th anniversary gala and not the prom. I think I made it through without it being too traumatic though. Hormones- gotta love em.
