Slow Going

I got in 1 kettlebell workout and 2 runs since Wednesday.  I was going to do another kettlebell work out tonight, but work and homework got in the way.  Overall I would say I'm doing a decent job with it though.  Still better than doing nothing!!  I decided to have some delicious veggies tonight.  I once got steamed broccoli with peanut sauce from The Grit in Athens (a delicious vegetarian restaurant).  I'm imitating that tonight.  I steamed my own broccoli and bought a package mix for the peanut sauce.  I'm sure making the peanut sauce from scratch would be even more delicious, but a girl only has so much time.  I'm also having a baked sweet potato for some extra content. Broccoli cooked well is great, but I would have to eat SO MUCH to get full.

Mental Illness Awareness

I decided I would start the mental health awareness thing.  My plan is to post something regarding mental health on a weekly basis.  I will post things on this blog, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram.  I will either post something relating to mental health (stats, helplines, videos, or answers to the questionnaire I created.  I don't know that I will accomplish anything, but if I each even one person then I have accomplished something.  Today's item is from the National Alliance on Mental Illness.  The image I have is poor quality.  There is a pdf, but I can't upload a pdf.  Here is the link to the image for better quality:  NAMI Mental Health Fact Sheet

Weight Watchers vs. LoseIt!

I'm once again struggling with sticking to Weight Watchers.  At this point I would like to talk about all the wonderful things weight watchers has to offer.  I lost 12 pounds when I stuck to weight watchers all the time.  It helped me change my mentality around food.  Now, when I'm looking for something to snack on I try to add veggies or fruit to it, always!  It has a fantastic support group.  Between the Connect feature on the app and the meetings you need not look far for support.  If you are new to healthy eating, or need a big change to get your health and weight loss started, Weight Watchers is a fantastic place to look.  It truly has helped me and I appreciate it for what it is. Now the reasons I am struggling with weight watchers.  Sometimes I would eat really high points during the day and have very little left for dinner, but by the time I got home from work, I was STARVING.  Which for me means I start to eat everything in si...

Update on Finding a Hobby

A few months ago I posted about trying to find a hobby.  I honestly haven't made much progress on that.  I thought this week with my time off would be a good time to really start exploring some of those things.  I decided to start by reviewing the original list and updating it/narrowing it down some.  The original post and list can be found here . After reviewing it, I have narrowed it down further from 25 to 10. I have also made some notes on a few of them. Archery - I like the idea of this, but I think it is a really expensive hobby.  I'm leaving it on the list for now, but I don't know if it will ever happen. Board Games/Gaming - I'm combining this one with Entertaining, because for me these two go together.  I think I will try to start up a monthly game night.  People can come over to our place and we will play games and hang out.  Dancing - I could start belly dancing again.  Lessons are still ongoing. Hiking-Yes, I miss hikin...
