Just 4 more weeks

(not that I'm counting ;) ) until spring break. We will have off of work a beautiful 9 days. Yes I just loved the 4 we had over the weekend but it left me wanting even more. Isn't that how it always is?

The weekend was nice and I did a little scrappin', a lot of housework, and spent time with the kids. DD found an old Playstation game and wanted me to sit and play it with her quite a bit this weekend. I did. It was a different change in pace.


We rented the Prestige last night and it was pretty good. Of course I love Hugh Jackman so it was getting my vote from the beginning. It was about magic and set in the early 1900's. We had watch another movie a couple of months ago that had a similar setting... it too was good, now I can't think of the name. Hmm...

So I dusted off my treadmill a couple of weeks ago and started using it again. Usually just adding walking to my daily routine is enough but not much was happening so I even started jogging. Still nothing. Bah Humbug! So I have been toying with the notion of going back to my Healthy Weigh Diet. I did this once, gosh about four or five years ago and lost 40 pounds. And over the past four or five years most of that has crept back on. I'm not one of those yo yo dieters, that was the only time I really went on a diet but I must admit I felt much better 40 pounds lighter. I just never ate. Seriously, I was down to a 600 calorie daily diet and had to excercise nearly an hour EVERY day to get that weight off. Talk about a slow metabolism. But anyhoo. I think I'm going to dig out the old paperwork and a food journal and start TODAY! I guess posting here will give me some false sence of accountablility. hehehe.
