I'm Back.

To my 7 "official" followers and the host of others who also follow me "unofficially" I extend my apology for going MIA for the last 6 weeks. Yearbook delivery season is a nutty time of year, and this year was a special kind of crazy, the likes of which I hope not to repeat. I managed to keep up most of my exercise endeavors. I kept the family in clean dishes and underwear. And I kept us fed...to a point.  And that was it. If it didn't relate to our health and safety or delivering yearbooks, it did not get attended to! The last of my schools closed yesterday for the summer and I'm determined to get back on track.

Today I added something new to my daily routine. I hope I can keep it up. It will take discipline but Joe swears by it. And certainly, he has enjoyed the results of it. I added an app to my phone called My Net Diary Pro. It is a calorie/nutrition counter. I have logged my food for the day. I am 500 calories over my allotment for the activity I had today. I can see where this will be helpful in my quest to take off those springtime stress pounds that I put back on. (7 of them if you are wondering)

Is anyone else using an app for calories consumed vs. calories burned and all other nutritional information?

My thanks to all those folks who have told me they miss the blog. I am both flattered and humbled. In a way, I have missed making my entries as well. For several reasons. One, I am an external processor. It is just who I am. I process by sharing externally. (Margaret, stop snickering.) Two, it helped to motivate me and keep me on track a bit more...I would think to myself, "I can't give up, what will I say in the blog?" Three, the messages from my family and friends are always so encouraging!

Now, I must get ready for beddieby, it is an early day tomorrow. Hoping to fit in a jog before swim. Sweet dreams everyone!
