I have posted so many times how much exercise makes me feel better mentally and each time after I stop exercising. I’m praying for the will and stamina to keep going every day. This competition I’m doing requires 20 minutes a day for the next 3 weeks and then I’ll have a week off..of the competition hopefully not the exercise, then I can do it again. There really is such a rush you get when you stop and it lasts a long time, and there is a certain satisfaction( I hesitate to say feeling of conceit) that I just did something many will never even attempt to do. I feel better, I don’t yet look better but I do to me-which is saying a lot if you know me at all.

I also gave up t.v. during the day, which is a rough one. It’s so easy to flip it on and some times it’s just background noise but sometimes it sucks me in when I’m supposed to be doing something productive. So far I haven’t broken that rule. I lose points if I do and I’m not losing points for the stupid t.v.

Just noticed the chap stick I got last week in Chicago at Trader Joe’s says Trader Johann’s on it, cutesy.

Have a great Sunday, supposed to be 99 degrees here, Doug and I are hitting the nursery for plants.

Dear Spanx stop sending me emails, you’re hurting my feelings. I mention you once on Facebook and this is the thanks I get? Daily emails.
