Catch 22

It has been a long time since I have been here.  Not because I haven't wanted to, but because of this blasted bronchitis.  Someone has been sick in this house since the beginning of this month.  Really.  February first Jeffrey began with a flu and it has just spiraled out of control since then.  And I am sure the kids are going to get sick from me.  The poor things, because this is miserable!  I dread the day they get it.

So, this means Jeffrey is on cooking duty.

I love it when I don't have to cook.

However, when Jeffrey cooks, it means we get take out of something.  Fast food.  Greasy.  Fatty.

A week's worth of that.  Not working very well with the wanting to be healthy.

Which is funny, because eating junk is certainly not going to help anyone get better.  But I am not feeling up to cooking, so Jeffrey decides to do it, and then continues the viscious cycle.

It is a catch 22.

Whatever that means.

I think tomorrow I am going to try just a little harder to make something healthy.

I do have bouts of feeling good.

During one of those bouts, I am going to get a good soup going.  Something hearty.  Full of beans, lentils, and really yummy vegetables.  It is going to be incredibly tasty and healthy.

And that, my friends, is how I am going to beat this thing.  And make Jeffrey so much happier.  His wallet is getting tired of making dinner.

Here's to getting health back into my home!

Miracle Pill

I won the book Miracle Pill, and have been loving it!  So full of insight.  And the author really knows her stuff.  I honestly don't know where my fascination with nutrition came, but I really do love it. 

Jeffrey gave me the Richard Simmons Sweatin to the Oldies.  So fun!  Only problem is Faye wont let me work out.  She likes to be held and paid attention to at all moments.  Silly girl.

I am still dedicated, but am still having difficulty with exercise.  More so the desire to exercise.  It doesn't help that I have been sick lately.  I am hoping to get over that soon, so I can get back to trying to exercise.  Hopefully it will be extremely soon.

Being sick.  Blah.
Not exercising.  Blah!

But, I am very happy to report that my tummy is getting smaller!  Sweet.
