Running

Well yesterday I felt as if I lived in my car....giving my daughter a 30 minute ride to work only to have her call me an hour later to pick her up!!The adventures of being a mom!

I didn't get to walk with my friend on Thursday, but I did exercise by running 3miles and walking a mile on my own. It was a good run until mile 2, then I wanted to quit, but I found some kind of determination to make it the rest of the way.

    This first week of "summer vacation" hasn't been too stressful with all of the kids home. I am allowing myself to be aware of my moods and feelings, for my eating habits as well as how I react to my family members.   I will start with food next week, but for yesterday I had a vegetarian meal for dinner. We had make-your-own taco/burritos with ground beef, but as the hubby and kids chowed down, my burrito was on a spinach tortilla, with all veggies. I try to at least have a meatless meal once a week for dinner. I find myself, at this stage in life staying away from red meat and going for more chicken, but meatless meals some how make me feel lighter and not as stuffed after I finish.

I also was going to weigh myself everyday, but I think for now I might do it once or twice a week, I do not want to become to obsessed with the scale, my goal is to be as active as I can, make healthy eating choices, and live in the present moment with less worrying about the future and most importantly making sure I am always  "Living on the Edge....of My Own Life!"

Until Monday....have a wonderful, healthy weekend!
