Things I'm almost done with

Seems like today is the day of getting things half way done.

I'm on day 2 of my 30 mins outside. I wish I could say it was fun. It's not. The allergens are awful and just 5 mins outside leave me with puffy red eyes. I am enjoying the sun though and this is a good time to start getting use to the idea of spending more time outside since Sam will be out of school next week.

The other thing that I've done is locate a gym that has childcare available. The only problem is the cost which isn't' much but I just don't have it right now. Anyone want to sponsor me? lol. So technically I found a gym that I can work out at 3 days a week that has childcare but I wont be able to do that until we have some available funds. *fingers crossed*

Also going on 4th day without soda. Not that hard really. I had been kinda drinking less and less each day and then went on vacation and drank more than I should have. What? I was trying to stay awake and get the most from my time. lol. Anyways again another thing that is in process.

8hours a week or less of TV has been fairly easy as well. 4 days in and I've watched less than 3 hours. This feels almost like cheating since most of my shows have ended for the season and there is nothing to watch. Well..I have watched marathons of Law and Order and CSI when I'm tired and don't feel like doing anything else. This time though when I'm tired I just go to bed which is what I should do anyways. Guess it's a good cue to listen to my body and do what it needs.

Because of the TV rule I have gotten 8 hours of sleep on several nights so that can be checked off completely. While it's nice I find that maybe it's just a touch too much sleep for me. I wake up feeling more tired than before. Not sure if it's the sleep that makes me feel like this or the allergies and the meds I take to control it. In any event I'll try to do this a few more times to see.

I did make my annual doctors appointment. I did just have the appointment and that is where I learned that I was actually 2 inches shorter than what I had been told I was before. Can you believe that I've not had my height checked since high school? I can't believe it either. It was at this appointment that I learned that I still have more weight to shed and that I'm currently in the moderate level for my BMI. Not terrible but there is still room for improvement. My doctor suggested that it may even be the birth control that is keeping the weight in place and that we may want to look at that after a few months. Anyways next years appointment is made so that can be checked off as well.

um...what else. Oh yeah I'm on my second day of no computer after 8pm. So far so good. Granted this is harder for me than the tv thing. I feel like it's an addiction or something that I must check my email, twitter, facebook, etc every hour or something. This will be harder to break I think. I didn't realize I had such a dependency until I started doing this.

So yeah that's basically everything I think. I'm tired and have to decide if I want to workout again or not. I did a 40 min cardio session this morning and then did some housework/yard work and I'm tired. Guess I'll follow Jara's advice and give it 5 mins and if I'm not into do something else. Here's to another day of living healthier.
