It's Groundhog Day
This morning while I was taking the kids to school, we saw a rainbow. Right now it's 53 degrees and sunny, but that's supposed to change later today. But it is Groundhog Day and that means we're closing in on spring.
Also, this morning, my nephew got stuck on the ice again—in his car. He wasn't just standing there. And I resisted the urge to run outside to help him. Don't worry. A neighbor helped him. But why this is a big thing for me is: I know I can't save everyone now. I can't keep the people I live from experiencing life. People can and often do find ways to help themselves. I'm not responsible for everyone. I can't be. I can only be responsible for myself. And what a weight off of my shoulders that is. I don't have to live the same day over and over.
Diet has been going OK. I've been eating lots of vegetables and fruit. I've been trying to stick with three meals a day. I'm not counting calories right now, but I am watching portion sizes. Exercise is mostly just moving more. It's a little easier when the kids are around.
I'm still looking for as many dieting and fitness resources that I can find. Let me know if you run across any good ones. I'll let you know what I find as well.
I'll try to post more later, but life has been busy this week.
And that's it for now.
