Groovin'

.

Happy Canada Day to my northern neighbors!! Hope you are having a great day.

Ok..like every week..I sit here at my laptop and DECLARE,..This week I AM BACK at it..this week I'm back on track...I only have this many days..blah blah blah...

So,to keep with tradition...

Hello July..and to echo what Scale Junkie as well as a few others said...

It's TIME TO GET MY GROOVE BACK ON..or locate it!

I have been wearing the pedometer for 2 days now. Yesterday I hit 10K and it's 11 am..and I am at 6K already!!! When I drop the kids off at camp/ or when they leave (depending on if it's a carpool day) I GO WALKING with people. I did it yesterday and today..and have a standing date on Friday with one friend. This might be one of the best habits I have picked up..Because I just won't do it alone. Wish I could..but I won't. So, i will continue to keep that one going. It's no nice to walk and talk..and I GET MY STEPS IN!! YAY.

Next is eating better. I will get there. I will again try to plan out my meals. I did plan out my breakfast and lunches last week..didn't always follow but they are on my Google Calendar Daily..so it's a reminder. If I can figure out how to display them, I will. Next is planning out dinners and snacks. I made this 2 nights last week..it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.I had a bunch of smaller multi colored bell peppers so I covered the bottom of the dish with them. This was a big hit. Adding it to my repitiore. I have like 6 things that I make..and rotate them. Turkey chill, Spaghetti with turkey meat sauce, Egg/turkey bacon and veggie burritos, taco salads, chicken fried rice/stir fry, and an egg casserole...and I used to make that DELISH ww soup..but that was in the days of my groove. My p's gave me a slow cooker..maybe I will fire that up. Anyone have any good TRIED AND TRUE slow cooker recipes. I like to use ones people ACTUALLY make..rather than out of a cookbook/website b/c then at least I have a "personal recommendation". I always LOVE to buy those cookbooks assembled by different community groups, fundraisers..etc. Oh...I feel a challenge brewing here..maybe a HYC cookbook...where each member submits their favorite TRIED AND TRUE recipe...and I put them all on one page..and randomly draw winners...I will discuss with Ms. Diana.

Wow..this turned into a really long post for Little Miss Slacker. Know why? BECAUSE I AM GETTING MY GROOVE BACK ON..AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO BEGIN WITH A GOOD BLOG POST...OK..not sure if it's good..but it's long.

And speaking of posting..I didn't post all that much in MAY or JUNE ..not did I "do my best" with the HYC..but many of you still visited me and checked up on me and PUSHED ME.

Thank you sooooooooooooooo MUCH TO HONI and MANUELA for giving me this award. I was feeling a little disconnected and out of it since I was only checking in once a week..and you two gave me such a boost.

Please know how much I appreciate that you come by and visit and take the time to read and comment. I hope to support and help you all as much as you have done for me. Here it comes.."I love you guys..". I really do appreciate it all. I NEED IT.

So, to reflect upon last weeks post. I forgot to weigh in today..so I am unsure if I am a LOSER. I promise to WEIGH in next TUES! I did get SOME organizing going and did SOME meal planning and took SOME ME time. I feel really calm and pretty settled today. This is a great way to begin a new month and a NEW GROOVE.

I hope you all have your groooooove on today and have a wonderful day.
