That’s how I’m going to deal with life from now on.  What is the point about complaining about the past?  Either learn from it and move on or fix it.  I have gone over on calories for the past two days.  No one made me do it so I will look at my food journal, figure out where I went wrong and fix it.  Can’t blame the food journal for having totals I didn’t like.

Complaining about not being able to go to the gym when I want to is also pointless, and rather repetitive.  So I can’t always go during childwatch hours because the kids have runny noses.  Well, they’re open at 5:30 a.m.  I have no right to complain when they are open at a time when I can go without kids.  And even if I don’t get to the gym I can always get in my cardio by walking the dog after they’re in bed if my husband is home, taking the kids for a walk during the day or using a Walk Away the Pounds DVD.  I can even figure out a strength training routine for at home if I’m so inclined.

Last night at dinner things got put into a little better focus.  I was eating a sandwich and choked on part of it.  I’ve almost drowned before, but that was more than 30 years ago so the memory is a bit hazy.  I’ve never been so scared for myself in my life and I’ve walked through Russian mafia controlled neightborhoods in Poland at night before.  Thankfully I was able to get it out with just a sore throat as a reminder.  I definitely don’t want to go out not having lived my life to the fullest! 

I tried two new, well sort of new, veggies yesterday.  I learned that dandilion greens need to be cooked to be edible and that summer squash really isn’t that bad.  I had my panini grill out for sandwiches and just tossed some slices on that then put on a little salt and pepper.  It was pretty good.  I haven’t eaten either of them since I had to pick them myself as a child.  So now I need to add at least one of them to the list of veggies I like.  Dandilion greens are still a toss up.

Hope everyone has a great day.
