10,000 steps.....


So I got this cool thing called a Fit Bit Flex for my birthday. I wear it on my wrist and it tracks my steps, calories burned, and even my sleep patterns.  It then syncs up to the computer and my iPhone to let me know my progress.  It is so awesome.  Much like the Fitness Pal app, it has made me aware of how unhealthy my current lifestyle has been.  The FP app let me know how much sugar I was consuming.  The Fit Bit lets me know how sedentary my life style is.  I know this is partly due to my type of work and the winter weather, but still....my word!! So you are supposed to have at least 10,000 steps a day to be healthy... this is where I am at so far.  However, I am going to get there.
 
Day 1- 2579
Day 2- 5925
Day 3- 3001
Day 4- 3324
Day 5- 7461
 
Add to this some poor sleeping patterns and this girl was not shocked, but saddened by what she has let happen.  Time to pull myself up by the boot straps and make some changes......
 
By the way...I will let you know my weight loss too, not a number (I am too vain for that) but that is not my total purpose.  It is health, energy, and longevity. I have a busy family to keep up with and enjoy.

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
