Not So Good Things:

too much snacking in the afternoons....grrrrr

The last two days have been good. I still have room for making much better choices by way of what I put in my mouth and when and why I do it. I've been working on waking early for a walk and then getting to my bible time.  Rising early is always a good thing for me and I'm in a place where I can do that fairly well, especially if I don't stay up too late at night or miss too much sleep.  Waking early helps with that. ;-)

I am finding, however, that the afternoons are killing me and I am being way too lazy, which feeds the slump. Instead of getting up and moving when I start feeling tired, I grab a snack and go to the computer or lie down on the couch.  I'm not getting real rest, so I'd be better off going outside and getting something done. I just can't seem to find the energy or motivation to do it. Honestly, by the time I finish up with lessons and choring with the children, I crave a bit of quiet.

I realized tonight, though, that weeding my flower beds gives me plenty of quiet, since no one really likes to help with that. ;-) So, tomorrow, when I'm hunkering for some time alone for a little break, I know where I'll be headed. :-D
