Every day in May

I have made a couple of decisions about the month of May. 1. I am not buying any extra anything. Even if the hub gets work soon, we’ve been spending a lot, and a fair amount of it has just been stupid. This month, no extras. 2. I am going to exercise every day this month. Even if it’s just a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood, I am going to make an effort to boost my physical activity.

I’m doing okay. Hub put the concrete in the holes for the deck. He ran out, but they are largely filled. That will get finished tonight. Mom, the boy, and I took the boat out on the lake for an hour or so last night – it was really nice.

Also, I went to the gym on the way home even though I really didn’t want to and if I’m doing exercise every day in May why can’t I have the last day of April off? When I felt like the argument wasn’t going my way, I stopped in at Target to look for a new lunch box (they didn’t have the one I wanted). No doubt I looked a little crazed as I wandered around dishware trying to talk myself into/out of going to the gym. I reminded myself that I always regret not going, but never regret going. So I went.

Today is a workout with the trainer. I feel like he hasn’t been pushing it hard enough, so I need to tell him that today.

The Chihuahua is scared to go out on the deck because the decking boards aren’t screwed down so they move a little and make noise. Silly dog. Speaking of dogs, my dog food cook book came yesterday (yes, I am an obsessive nut about books). Good stuff!

The boy leaves at 6:30 am tomorrow for the beach, returning at 6 pm Friday night. The house will sure be quiet!
