Finally!

A chance to check in!! I knew this week was going to be crazy, but I did not expect this. I don't think I've been on-line hardly at all this week. It has been busy, but good.

Yes, Jen, It's the Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana. We go to Mansfield, although I think next year we will visit Bridgeton like we have always talked about. I think the only think I bought myself was a silly jester’s hat for Halloween. Most of our funds were spent on Jacob for his birthday. He made out pretty good. It's a nice annual tradition that I do every year with my family. My family isn't all that big - just me and my brother and mom left. He has 2 kids and we have 1. So I like to do stuff together when possible. We walked for about 4 1/2 hours, so that was good. The eats could have been better. But Wednesday and today have been good. I want to eat today, so I have been fighting that BIG TIME!!! I know I have Jacob's birthday party coming up too, so I need to be careful.

Last night my trainer introduced me to 4 weight machines to add to my workout routine. I'll do them for the next 4 weeks and then we'll add 4 more. I had her show me some arms so I can do them too. For whatever reason, they don't get added into this program. I did swimming on Monday & Wednesday and Tuesday was all that walking, but I have to hit the gym Thurs, Fri & Sat to meet my 3x a week quota I have there, so at least I am getting LOTS of exercise!!!

Meg - I guess I wasn't thinking about it that way. Consider my attitude fully adjusted!!! :) It's hard to learn that this is a journey and things won't always perfect.
