Signs of Spring

In spite of my new found resolve to get the rest of this weight off and also start treating my body the way it deserves to be treated, I’ve found that there has been something holding me back. I’ve given it a LOT of thought over the past week or so and when I say thought- I don’t mean fleeting thoughts here and there. I’ve really tried to get to the bottom of why I’ve made some of the choices I have, and quite honestly- I believe I’ve made some progress.

We’ve had some pretty grey days as of late- weather wise, so yesterday when the sun was shining I took advantage and got out in order to soak up some much needed Vitamin D, plus to test out my Nike + iPod. I used it once when we were on vacation to test it out, but really gave it a test yesterday. I’ll write more on that later- but I can see it becoming a source to challenge me to do more and to require more out of myself- and that’s something I need.

I’m looking really hard for signs of spring- but so far, aside from the occasional sunny day- I haven’t seen one. It’s coming though, because the groundhog says so.

Time for Something New

Desere was over last week for coffee and during the course of our conversation, she told me that the desktop computer that the boys have been using to do their homework and play games had stopped working. We talked about the possible causes, but we both decided that while it is possible that it could be repaired, that she’d really like to get rid of the desktop and buy a smaller, more portable computer, such as one of the tablet computers that are so popular right now. Not only will it free up space where the desktop now sits, but it will also mean the boys can do their homework on the couch or in other places, which makes it much more convenient. She’s looking for good deals and even though she hasn’t told the boys, will probably buy one in the next couple fo weeks as a surprise to them. I know they’ll be thrilled, and she’ll be glad to have her laptop back as her own.
