First day.

My first day on my new plan went pretty well. I was able to get my Wii Fit set up on my new Wii and did 20 minutes. I love the new Wii Fit plus because I love the boxing. I am seriously thinking of getting a punching bag to install in the garage.

I didn't get as much done as I hoped, but I did get a lot done. I just wanted to be a little further than I am. I need to remember how much time it can take to cook.

I made a nice lunch of mushrooms and olives and avocado. I saute'd onions and garlic and then slow cooked a portabella mushroom. I then added some noodles and sprinkled on some grated Mexican blend cheese. I cut avocado slices to put on top of that when I ate it.
I also took some of the noodles and cut up some olives and marinated mushrooms (Safeway's gourmet olive bar) and avocado to mix with them. I then put grated parmeson, a little vinegar and a little olive oil and stirred that all up for a nice pasta salad. It was a nice flavor combination and made a nice lunch. I think I will take the leftover salad to work.

I need to go early today to take care of a couple of things. Tomorrow is another day and the Wii and lunch should go a little faster, so I should be able to accomplish a little more. It was hard to not go outside today, so if it's still this nice tomorrow I will plan one of my hours for outdoors.

Mundane Monday McBlog #5

I'm thinking I skipped one or two of my Monday blogs due to the fact that I'm also trying to keep up on all my other stuff. I got way behind on those all-important surveys on MySpace. I managed to catch up on those, but lost a few along the way.

I have been very involved with my Iowa Avenue blog because it is my biggest support group for my health goals. I enjoy the people there and sharing and blogging and commenting on the ways we are all trying to get healthier and lose some extra weight. Some days I find myself writing three or four blogs by the time I get done visiting my blog places. I have my Iowa Avenue, my pnotochallenge on LiveJournal, my tshirt surgeries community, which I love, even though I haven't personally posted there, yet, except as a commenter. I am doing the NaBloPoMo monthly challenge and even though I dropped out of the 365 group, I am still blogging for 365. Of course any of my other blogs will work for that, but sometimes I just want to add something besides a list. It's a lot of online stuff for a person with limited time, so I have days like today where I waste my day spending time online.

I don't feel good, anyway, and that makes it way easier to justify sitting here reading and writing. I'm way behind on reading blogs. I would like to visit a lot more of the TT regulars and the March list bloggers. Reading is the harder part of blogging because I fall asleep. Because I am highly involved on the Iowa Avenue site, I tend to concentrate my time there, reading and commenting as much as I can. Somedays that doesn't leave me with much time to go elsewhere. In addition to that I have joined both my Momentum group, at work, and the President's Challenge which require me to log progress. That also takes time and it is important to me, so I do that first. I didn't mean to start logging at the President's challenge until it officially begins on March 2oth, but last night I checked it out and went ahead and filled it in. It surprised me that I had an hour of activity, even though to me it was lighter activity. I didn't even do my weights yesterday. I'm going to get up here in a minute and start my stretches and try to get my weights in before I have to shower and get ready for work.

My week this week has not been one of staying on target. It's been difficult this week while fighting off the yuckies. I spent my time in bed resting today because I know I don't really get enough sleep and wanted to make sure I had enough rest to continue the fight against that flu. From what I can tell it's miserable and I DON'T want it. PERIOD.

So I better go do my list for today and get myself busy on my stretches and resistance stuff. I want time to take my time in the shower and let the steam clear my head.

It really is a mundane Monday today. Gray and cloudy.

Only one more day until my five days off. YAY!
