Lent
I've decided what I'm "doing" for Lent. Instead of giving up, I think doing something selfless is a better idea. However, this year my selflessness is turning to selfishness...the good kind. I've decided to dedicate 40 days to me! In the act of taking care of myself...and DOING THE WORK...I'm going to make time for preplan lunches, exercise, pampering, reading self help, etc. And in an effort to make more time for all this...I'm giving up mindless TV. So, I'm giving up and doing good, for me. Now, I must explain that mindless television does not include Grey's Anatomy...or movie nights. It's all the crap I watch that I totally don't need to be watching. Sure TLC is a great channel but I don't need to watch 2 hours of Jon & Kate or 18 & counting every night. And yes, TONS of interesting stuff on the History channel. There's just no need. Especially when I have 4 books on the go...okay, 3, the "work" one is work related and to be read at work. Thank goodness the Feb Free-for-view is over.
So, tonight is the beginning. I'm feeling much better so exercise in the Wii is in order. I've been doing a 1/2 hour per session, which I think is good...if I'm doing it consistently. I want to do some wknd activity too. Maybe I'll get E & L out for a mid morning walk or something. Hey, maybe DH will come too! The roads out our way aren't great for walking but even if we got out and went down to the lake. Not much exercise but definitely good to get the fresh air. Hmm...guess I need more ideas on that. Coasting is my fav but the snow is pretty hard/packed for that. Any other ideas are welcome. I thought of geocaching but I don't have a gps and it would be tough with L.
So, that's all for me for now. Don't forget, no meat tonight. Really bummed me out since we had leftover sausage, veg & cheese omelete. Tomorrow's breakfast, right? And hey, we still have potato pancakes for tonight...whoo hoo!
TTFN!

Good for you. I hope it ends a habit and extends beyond 40 days :)
Just a thought...county recreation here lends snowshoes, GPS's etc. You might see if there is a place up there that does that. L would be fine if you have a backpack/carrier, we've taken the kids caching for quite a while. If not, maybe you could make a treasure hunt outside. Same with snowshoeing - if you have a carrier it would be good. Sledding is FAST but fun :) hehe. Swimming? Isn't there indoor climbing there too? Course I have no idea about cost there but it's good exercise and fun but I doubt the kids could go. Do you have an indoor track? You could create a treasure hunt, look for animals prints, just to get outside like you said. I'm sure you'll find lots to do.
I'm going to be up there this Fri. Maybe I'll see ya :)
