One Step at a Time May-2016

[Lizann]

Hey guys! I have a jawbone, which is like a fit bit and I am obsessed with it. I got it for Christmas and wear it religiously. I like to do 10000 steps at least. Sometimes on busy days when I'm working I can go as high as 15,000.

Pauly, Brady will only be gone a week, you can do it. But I so get that being alone in the house thing. Clean out some closets or wash the windows. I do so much better when I'm busy. I'm here for you. Does he get upset when you drink? Mark has a fit.

Nora that is so sweet about your moms nails. She's so lucky to have you.

AG, glad hubby is out of his funk.

Bought some flowers to plant, finally. We got tomatoes and some basil too. Hubby has a green thumb so he makes things look pretty around the yard.

Sweet dreams!

Pauly you made me laugh with the "crackpot"! How did the sauce turn out?

Liz,now he's thinking he'll be gone longer cuz he wants to make some money I'm reading"From Panic to Power" just got it in the mail today from Thriftbooks,hopefully it will help me get a grip on my thoughts/emotional weirdness, and yes, after my relapses after the 4 month sober stint he started getting pissed off when I drank,of course I seemed to drink harder, faster and act crazier during that time,ho hum, I hate booze! Sunni,I dunno how Kell gets soooo many steps then,stride length was my only excuse haha,ate my spaghetti,then found the mushrooms that I specifically bought for mine on the counter,totally forgot about them boo hoo

I'll be like Nora and keep talking,where's that bird pic haha,Sunni,just wanted to thank you for the kind words honey,I appreciate you saying that I just gotta not be selfish,realize he's in good hands,will be safe,plus its a great adventure for him,I can't ruin that with a pity party,just gotta keep busy and out of my head when he leaves, have a great night everyone

.I know it's good for Brady but it is hard when they go off like that. Hope that book helps.

There we have another energetic stepper. I wonder if there's a way to link jawbone with fitbit.

Red - please check in.lease:

Rusty - where are you?

Sun- do you have your garden? We've only got a couple things this year.

Well, hubby is ready to pull his bed out so mom and I are going to retire to the bedroom.

Night all........

Oops, it is one minute into June 1st my time! I had another good day on the AL front. I'm feeling very positive about this . . .

I'm hoping once I get this rolling I can get back to the gym. April and May really threw me off my game.

See you later today!

Pauly - how many steps is kell getting? Most days I get around 13,000 - but on a good day can easily get 19,000 or 20,000. Yesterday was about 17,000 I think! I walk the dogs first thing if I am not going into work at 7.00, then go to work where I get a LOT - often will go on the treadmill when I get home from work too. Pauly - with Brady away, aren't you working at least a good part of that time from 1-5? Try and plan stuff - as Liz said, it is easier when we are busy, to not drink. I know you can do this - take it one step at a time (as per Nora).

Nora - yes we have sorted the garden out this year after moving last year - but things are just not doing very well. We had to order a ton of dirt in (and move it wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow) and I think the dirt is rubbish - if the veggies do not perk up I shall pull them all out and work on amending the dirt in the raised beds (which we had to start over from scratch) with our compost, slow as it is to come along! We have a few flower beds too and the weeds do SO well!

Hugs, Sun
