Fall

Hmmm last post was in March. Time definately flies. I neglected my blog but I didn't neglect myself. It's November! Where did that come from. I got around to getting my computer--woohoo! I'm still collecting Wii games. I've added since March--gee whiz! Gold's gym latin dance workout, Just Dance 1, Just Dance 2, and Raving Rabbids 2. I have Zumba on pre-order and I need to order Just Dance Kids. They are also coming out with Nickolodeon fit and The Rabbids have a new one.

I don't use my Wii like I did but I need to add some back in. I have been in the gym sometimes 2 a days so the Wii got pushed aside.

Crochet--What's that? LOL. After the weather warmed for good I got side tracked and stopped crocheting. I just started looking at Ravelry again. I have tons of yarn that needs to be used up! I have to carve out the time. I am still continuing my magazine addiction. I have a tote bag filled and I add more but I don't seem to read them. Ugghhh I need to do that!

What keeps me from doing either of those--reading or crocheting? Hanging out on Facebook at BWDW (Black women do workout). I love this page. It has helped me to stay focused on this journey of ridding myself of the extra lbs. I have had a goal of actually weighing less than my driver's license. I'm closer than I have been in probably 25 years. That's my gift to myself.

There are other gifts that I would like to give myself. I can't decide on an Ipod touch or some wi-fi e-reader. Everybody is coming out with one and they upgrade them before you can get yours out of the box. Sigh.

A couple of months ago I really tweaked my eating and now try eating a "clean" diet. It isn't perfect but it's mucho better. I have the Eat clean diet book recharged and Your best body now by Tosca Reno, Clean eating magazine and The best of Clean eating cookbook. It'll be even better when I read all of this stuff. I've browsed it and my Oxygen mags but haven't actually read them cover to cover. It is fairly simple. Lean protein, complex carbs and healthy fats. Dump the sugar, sodium, processed foods,fatty empty calories. It's a journey and not a destination. It's a lifestyle and not a diet. I have work to do and nobody can do it for me. I'm doing it for myself----my gift to me!
