Hello - August 6, 2013

Hi blog world!

So Google Reader imploded, the plug got pulled etc.

That sucks.

I used to look at it daily to keep up with blogs.

I guess since I knew it was going byebye I stopped looking at it and now it is gone.

Before it went away I downloaded the list of blogs I was following.

Now, to get around to looking at them again!

I think I will start a new blog, and put all the links in there.

I wonder how many blogs I have started and forgotten about over the years?

This one has been going for a long time though.

Even though I abandon it for months at a time.

/end of random thoughts for today!!

January 8, 2013

Hello people who read my blog!

 Happy New Year!

Looks like I have not posted since late October.

I have NOT been a very busy girl in terms of FITNESS.

I was on a big roll with walking A LOT up until August.  I got sidetracked by a couple of things and that was that.

September things usually go to crap for me.  It is pretty predictable actually.

On a positive note we are now past the hump of the kid's hockey season.  Only 2 more months to go until sweet glorious freedom (oops!  bad attitude).

In November I had part of my thyroid taken out.  It was not causing symptoms but it was bulging in my neck and was not stopping growing so out it came.  I am just now (tomorrow) getting around to getting my levels tested.  I have packed on 6 pounds since my surgery.  However, that may or may not have anything to do with my thyroid levels.  It certainly has something to do with the Christmas candy I started eating in November.  (DAMN!)

This week I started making an effort in the walking dept. again.  The weather has not been completely menacing so I have made it for a couple of outdoor walks.  Once I even went for a walk with my sister who lives in Ottawa.  We "walked" together over the phone until her cell phone died  :)  That was fun.  Walking alone is just plain B.O.R.I.N.G!!!!

Yesterday a Facebook friend posted a photo of himself from highschool.  That got me into a mood to scan some of my photos.  Damn.  I don't remember ever being that skinny!  I was a skinny 17 year old!  Who knew?  That was a loooooooong time ago though...

So, things are good with me right now.  I am not where I should be with my weight or fitness but I am in a state of mind that I feel I can work on it.

How are you blog lurkers?
