Not dead

I swear I'm not dead. I haven't been blogging because keeping up with the gym has eaten into my personal time to the point where something had to give. For the last couple of weeks - this blog has been the something.

Speaking of the gym - I did okay on my March goals. I fell just shy of the distance goal I set - but I did improve, which is the key. Maybe even slightly more important is the fact that when I tried on last summers capris that were either tight or didn't fit at all - they fit. Every. Single. Pair.


For April, I'm increasing the distance goal and will continue to track my calories and water. I bought a scale - but I didn't like the number, so I'm not going to be standing on that again any time soon. I'll just keep trying on clothes that didn't fit before.

As for blogging - I'll try to do better. I'm taking a vacation next week, which will hopefully give me some time to catch up. (In case you're wondering - the resort where I'll be staying has an exercise facility. Can you believe I checked?! I can't.)

The nicest thing

There are a lot of nice things someone can say to you.

• You look nice today.
• I really like that hairstyle.
• I love that outfit.
• You did a great job on that project.
• I love how you decorate your house!
• Your kids are so cute/well-behaved.
• Your cats are precious. 
• What would you like for Christmas/your birthday?

I could go on. But by far, the nicest thing I think a person can say to you - especially when it's sincere - is: 

Are you losing weight?

So to the person who said that to me this weekend - you're the best. It won't be forgotten.

I've still got a long way to go, but it's nice to know I'm on the way.

Can't count that high

Kids say the darndest things....

My favorite 4-year-old: Mommy, how old are you?

Her mommy (my best friend): I don't want to talk about that right now.

4YO: No, I just want to write it down, so I can practice it.

Mommy: I'm 3-7 (three seven). Which is the same age as me...

4YO: Ohhhh - I haven't learned to count that high, yet, have I?

Mommy: Nope.

Isn't she precious? :-/
