monday, monday.

I said I would write this morning and now I'm running short on time! I'll write more later... Feeling low motivation today. It's getting hotter out, and I've been neglecting proper exercise and not counting my calories. As a result, I've gained a few pounds over the past few weeks. blah. There is a girl I work with that had never even tried a salad (among other things, I have no idea how her parents let her get away with that!) and she pretty much just eats fried foods and is a skinny little thing! But you know what? I'm glad that I can appreciate a good salad and I'm learning how to take care of and appreciate myself. I never share this kind of stuff with the family really, but it's something that's a big part of my life. I was doing very well for a long time. In general, Ron and I have become more active and we eat a lot healthier than a few years ago... I'd like to get a grip on these things even more so because it helps make for a better life for the rest of my life :) 

have to go get ready for work. This Thursday we start summer camp and I get to go to the zoo!

Hey Jo - Glad you're appreciating a good salad! One way to eat healthy but not fuss too much about counting calories is to just keep track of your fruit and veggie intake. That's an area that's easy to neglect. So count up your five a day - I find I feel fuller when I eat good veggies with dinner. Variety of spices help make veggies more interesting. Count fresh juices too. I'll email some of our favorite fruit/veggie recipes/combinations. Love you.

thanks for the tips :) and recipes that are coming :) I really do love eating well, and enjoy healthy foods. I know I could up my fruit and veggie intake, and I like the idea of counting that :)
