Week 15 of 52

Posted by Aldie at 2:12 AM | 0 comments

Life moves at such a fast pace, if you dont stop and look around you just might miss it ;)
With that in mind my topic for this week was SPRING.

My flight back to UK is now in 10 days so I have more time than initially thought, so I could take a breath. Which also meant going and taking some photos - great way to relax

So off I went with Sandra and Pitu to see what Spring had to offer, sadly where I live in Spain there isnt much in terms of wildlife or flowers - sure there are some things, but not alot.

I also watched as the sun went down and tried to capture the moments as it did.

The problem I have coming up is my place in the UK doesn't have internet, so I need to find a way to access the net, or sadly you wont see more photos!
Im sure I will find a way, just may mean uploading 2 weeks at a time, but we shall see ;)

anyway on with the shots I took, the one I thought most encapsulated Spring is HERE
WEEK 15 - SPRING

Still Waiting for Spring

Posted by Aldie at 7:01 AM | 0 comments

I know. I haven't posted for a while. I haven't had Internet service at home for about two weeks. It's getting frustrating. If I had known what I know today, I never would've switched my service.

I made it to the gym four days last week, and, so far, today this week. I like working out. I'm just having a time getting out of bed. But I'm getting better.

As far as the diet, I'm trying to eat things that are good for me. I figure if I stuff myself with carrots it won't be as bad as miniature Hershey bars. Sometimes, for me anyway, it's just the act of eating something that satisfies me. I am a compulsive eater, no doubt. I'm always in the "what-can-I-eat-next" mode. So i've been going for baby carrots, grape tomatoes, and apples—things that take a while to eat and really are a source of vitamins and fiber. Don't forget fiber. Boy, that has an effect, doesn't it?

So that's where I'm at. But I'm doing OK. I feel OK. Having my girls around me helps my mood. I love them so much. Also, I'm still playing piano—well, learning to play piano. I'm getting better at that, too.

On Sunday, it was 70 degrees. Today. it's snowing. My sinuses are suffering. When will it finally be Spring?

Getting It Together

Posted by Aldie at 6:27 AM | 0 comments

Today I feel better than I've felt in a while. No cramps, twinges, or bloating.


I didn't post anything yesterday because I was sick and I didn't have anything to say. I haven't had anything to say in a long time. Why? Because I haven't done anything. I haven't gone anywhere. I've just been sick for more than a week. I'm trying to get myself back together. Slowly but surely.

OK. I finally seem to be getting my eating under control. I've been drinking a lot more water—and that's helped. I'm still exercising. I can't wait for warm weather so I get outside.

This morning I actually ran one lap—I mean actually ran. Not that fat woman run—a real run. It left me breathless, but I could do it. My next goal is to start running. I don't know about racing, but I want to run.

I feel much healthier than I did last year. And that's a good feeling. The winter blahs are getting to me, but they'll be over soon. I noticed that the trees are budding here. And that's a good sign. Right?
