Well, I have really been slacking on keeping my blog up-to-date. Partly it is because I have been really busy and partly it is because I am trying to not sit for too long at any one time which really limits my time on the computer!

For the most part I have been doing well. My downfall, as many of you can relate to, is munching in the evenings. It is really annoying to find myself mindlessly munching and undoing all the work I did that day.

Last night I realized that I was tired! What a revelation! (I already knew I tended to snack when tired.) The only reason I was still up was to watch an election-related program. It was very informative but I also found out that the series is online. From now on I will watch it during the day and go the bed when I am tired. I can walk in place, etc. while watching it so I can stick to my 'not sitting too long' plan.

Food has been good (except for the snacking!) and I have been trying all the season's bounty that, for some reason, I've never tried before. All kinds of squashes have gone into my meals as well as vegetables that I never tried before.

I am also shaking up my exercise routine by following the Slim Down in 8 Weeks challenge at everydayhealth.com. Very challenging but also doable (with some adjustments to some of the high-impact moves!). It is also fun as I am getting to know many of the exercisetv trainers this way. (Doesn't hurt that I won a Jillian Michaels Fitness Package there, either!)

I hope to keep up with this a bit better. I am no longer working (I work at a seasonal job) so I think I will have more time. I do need to work on my jewelry, though, which uses up a lot of 'sitting' time--maybe I will just have to schedule everything! We will see how it goes.
