One Day At A Time

Well, thank you all for your excellent suggestions for staying healthy! I spent all day yesterday eating fruit and pretend chocolate stuff while crocheting, chewing gum, and reading "Eat This! Not That!" (Not really, but that's definitely on the schedule for today.)

As far as exercise goes, I love exercising and find that I don't crave fatty foods when I'm exercising. I just don't do running. I prefer to be tricked into exercising. For example, yoga is exercise disguised as relaxation. Aerobics is exercise disguised as dance lessons. Sports are exercise disguised as games. Swimming is exercise disguised as a life-saving skill. Cycling is exercise disguised as transportation. Running, unless someone is chasing you, is just plain exercise. You're not fooling me, running. I'm on to you.

I've been going through detox for the past few days, but I think the worst has passed. I haven't gotten the shakes, yet, today. I'm just gonna take it one day at a time.

Did you buy that book? I want to read it, too. :) I want to read it and then not change my ways. (I haven't been to McDonald's since I saw that one documentary. Shiver.) I'm jealous that you found your new background before I did.

I applaud your efforts. I know what a pain it can be since I have such an awful sweettooth myself. Before we got married I was so good. Cause hey, I was getting married! But now I've kinda fizzled out. You can catch me any day of the week sneaking to the school bookstore and purchasing something to create a sugar rush for the rest of class so I can finish my homework and deal with a room full of highschool seniors. And unfortuantely I know it shows. At the moment you have more willpower than me, way to go!

umm, so I don't know where else to put this since I'm still such a greenie. but yes, I would love it it if you'd tell me how to fix my blog. it's the background that bugs me the most. The only option I see is picking a new template but obviously that's not what you've done, so maybe you can tell me what it is you do? I'm a little lost. And I agree Hurray for cream colored ponies!

Sounds like a good book...I'll have to check that out. I have a sweet cheesy salty tooth. What exactly does one do about THAT ;)
