Exercise: Some housework and shopping. I attempted to use the elliptical but the Tivo wouldn't work from there due to Emerson's exersaucer being in the way....and then Emerson started crying when I moved the exersaucer, and it was too hot to walk outside. Better luck tomorrow.

Meat Omelet, Toast, and Fruit at Duffy's (which is much better than my usual choice of Biscuits and Gravy and Hash Browns as sides - I don't feel so icky afterwards)
Creamer in coffee
A few handfuls of Reese's Pieces that I bought last week and have been in the fridge ever since
Salad consisting of an iceberg lettuce mix, lowfat ranch dressing, olives, and croutons

Return of the Flog

This week has been life-changing for me.

Dad's in the hospital recovering from quadruple bypass surgery. After seeing the pain he was in at the hospital before the surgery, plus the pain he is in now after surgery, and the long road of recovery ahead, I have had my come-to-Jesus moment. With my paternal grandparents both suffering from heart problems and now my dad, I'm at huge risk for coronary artery disease myself. My daughter is too. I want to both spare her from the logistics of having a sick mother and set a better example.

I treat my body better than the generations before me, but I still have a lot of room for improvement. I need to get off my butt and exercise. I need to stop stopping at Braum's for sausage biscuits in the morning.

I can't promise I'll write every day but I'll see what I can do.

Weight: 157
Exercise: Exercise bike for 15 minutes or so
