for my sister #2

so i was going through some old posts and came across the one where i talked about eating better and all that comes with that. i said that i would be keeping track of my progress here and i never had a follow up.
so here it is:
i have been walking with a friend of mine every monday, wednesday, and friday mornings. so, along with actually going to bed earlier and waking up earlier (and doing those things every day) i am spending a LOT more time being physically active. i have been trying to incorporate tuesday and thursday as walking days as well, but am not having much luck. i actually feel really good about my three-day-a-week schedule. tuesday morning, we go to church for my women's bible study and thursday morning we go to church for our pre school playgroup. so, every morning of the "week", we have something to get us up and out of the house...and away from the television. which is point two. we have been watching almost NO television. mike and i like to watch heros on monday nights. and that's about it. some evenings, which means maybe twice a week, we watch hannah montana and zack and cody on disney. don't ask. it's better content than most everything else on then. otherwise, we eat dinner a lot earlier, at a decent time, and enjoy our evenings as a family, just playing blocks or reading or coloring or whatever..it's been so nice. i feel like i am eating ...well, better. not like a health nut, but i rarely every drive-thru anymore and am trying to actually eat breakfast in the mornings. doing fruits (which was never a problem) and more veggies for snacking. and less snacking. i was just telling mike the other day that, while i'm not sure that i am actually losing weight yet, i am actually feeling a lot better. i think regulating (for the most part) my sleeping/waking, getting more physical activity in as daily as i can, watching less tv, and being more creative have combined to make a "me on the way to better me".

it's kinda nice.
