Day 1

Day 1 of what?

I'm kind of hoping today is the start to a new semi-lifestyle that will make me feel better. Last week after Allen had left, I was grumpy pretty much the entire week. Finally last night I told myself I'm tired of being grumpy so I would do something about it. I have a plan to make myself healthier first, by cutting my portions in half and making them more nutritious, cutting out sugar as much as I can, and exercising. So far it's worked for one day. I had almonds and tea for breakfast, bean and bacon soup and grilled cheese for lunch, and for supper I had two slices of pizza only because I needed to finish it up. I also walked a mile on the treadmill, burning about 200 calories according to the treadmill. We'll see if I can keep it up tomorrow.

Last weekend Allen came to visit and we went to San Francisco one night and Monterey the next day. It was a lot of fun really getting to see Monterey Bay and visit the aquarium. I got a shirt for my sister's baby, that reads "The otter made me do it". I want to get Leah exposure to the west coast while I'm out here. Growing up, the furthest I ever got to experience was Russellville, Arkansas, or Colorado Springs. I want her to know that more exists beyond 500 miles from Topeka.
