I’m Boring Tonight

Long day at work today. The other assistant is out of town so I’m doing both of our work. That’s okay, it’s interesting. I usually just do the estate planning, not the estate probates or real estate so I’m learning lots of new stuff. He’s been wanting me to learn it for awhile anyway so it’s good.

I came home and did DDR for awhile for exercise. As of this morning I am 97 lbs. down and want to keep it that way. It’s been almost a year since my surgery so the time of easy losing is soon to be over and I need to continue to try to strengthen my lifestyle changes to promote a continually healthy body. I’ve been climbing the stairs to our fifth floor office (twice today) and trying to be much more active in my daily life. I haven’t been good about working out, but I have been making daily choices that are overall more active and I think that has worked very nicely in helping me to lose weight. When I went to the meeting on Thursday night I saw that some of the people who had the surgery and who are working out rather faithfully are stalled in their weight loss yet I am still losing slowly but surely even though I don’t work out. I think that may be partially because of the Topamax but also because I have made some conscious changes to my approach to life. When there’s a choice between an easy way or an active way to do something, I’m trying to generally take the active way. I’ve spent 51 years doing just the opposite. Now I’m training myself to take the extra steps and do the extra work.

Anyway, I know I’m boring today. I’m too tired to be exciting. There are other things I could talk about but I’m too weary to be controversial and profound. I’m happy to have a normal BMI. My prayer life is blessedly improving. I realized on my way to work this morning that I love my children so dearly and feel completely blessed to have them. I also adore my husband and think God is so wonderful to have brought him into my life. Well… God is wonderful for a LOT of reasons, that is just one of them. I have lots of blessings, so I think I’ll just be content to be boring tonight.
