    I must confess, I would totally read the How To Not Die Exercising book.
    :D:D:D
    Today was tough as I was operating on little sleep. The wind and rain were so loud last night. Fatigue always makes me crave carbs. I did okay but am ready to fall into bed.
    Cat, your book looks great.
    Jan, congrats on your loss!
    Ann, I'll bet that Ruby is keeping you busy!

    Randi, we live at the top of a big mountain. Winds can be ferocious up here. I sleep with a white noise machine so I never hear them.
    Hoping you have a better day today.
    I have the four year old and eight month old today. This means no structured exercise because I will be a zombie by the time I get home. I will be rocking a baby, playing Barbies, and eating peanut butter sandwiches and making mac n cheese out of a blue box. These are hard days for me to stay on track.

    I ordered a used copy of your book, Cat. It looked like a good reference.
    Hope everyone's day went well!

    Randi, we are truly kindred spirits. I get most of my books from the public library, but if I really want to own one, I get it used from thriftbooks.com or a local thrift shop. Only new books I buy are Bibles or gift books.

    Cat, my daughters were given used books as gifts for Christmas this year. They are fine with it. We always took them to a used bookstore and let them choose whatever books they wanted. Both are voracious readers.
    Hope everyone's day went well!

    Randi, my daughter also received used books. She has a wishlist on thriftbooks.com so it’s easy to get on their site and choose what she wants. One of my sons is not a reader snd the other one is but he doesnt have time. Six of my grandboys are school age and they all love to read. Buying books for kids and teens is so much fun!

    I quit logging food today because sometimes I am just a rebel. Good luck to all tomorrow.

    Logged all my food today. There was no exercise. We hadcompany when we came home from church. They stayed until it was time for us to go Back for Bible study. Got home at 8:00 and couldnt find a single scrap of will power or energy to tackle exercise. Second day in a row plus Thirsday for no exercise. Tomorrow’s weigh in could get ugly. 😂

    My new goal this week is to continue to track calories and exercise every day
    PLUS
    I need to try to give up the 7 ounce real sugar Pepsi I allow myself every day. That is 90 calories of empty nutrition plus sugar and inflammatory chemicals I do not need. This is an addiction I need to break. And it’s a tough one. I look forward to that Pepsi more than anything else.

    Snow and ice here on our mountain. Frigid temps. Winter is mean!

    Maybe you should accept that the Pepsi is something you want and enjoy?
    Hope everyone had a good day. I shoveled snow for exercise. I did not track my food, but I know today was not bad.
    Sleep well.

    Ann, got you and your husband in my prayers. You have so much to deal with right now. Please keep us updated.

    Babysat today, ate bad stuff and no exercise unless you count hide and seek with a four year old while lugging a 25 pound 8 month old.
