I'm doing it. I'm trying to get in shape. I've tried before and always fizzled out..but this time I have a different goal. I don't care if I lose weight or inches. I just want to feel better. I want to be strong again. I want to be able to walk up the stairs without feeling like I need a nap afterward. If weight comes off, great, but I'm not expecting it. My thyroid has pretty much proven to me that I am not in control of that aspect, but I can control how I feel.

So, Greg and I have been doing the Wii Active..granted I'm only 4 days in, and already had one rest day, and have the weekend of rest coming up, but I think I'm already feeling a little better. Maybe it's psychosomatic, just thinking I'm doing something is making me feel better...I honestly don't care, as long as I feel better, it can all be in my head or not, I like it!

I'm also gradually going to start working on my dietary issues. The problem with that is right now we are so broke we are literally eating just what we can afford...so we buy according to price rather than nutrition. Will it feed all of us? Is it in the budget? That's what we buy. Thankfully, beans and rice are fairly healthy LOL.

These financial problems have to come to an end. We have Andrea's birthday party on Sunday and I'm completely at a loss as to how we are going to get the things to do it...we have enough to get her cake but not the hot dogs and hamburgers for people...and we have forgotten about trying to do goodie bags or anything. Maybe next year, when the van is paid off and we have dug ourselves out a bit. I can't believe I have let us get to this point. I am really kicking myself right now for not planning better.
