Yeah- I DID actually mean to spell it like that!!

My husband and I have spent the past few days figuring out what we need to take with us camping. Both of us camped with our families when we were young, and loved it- but for some unexplained reason, during the five years we’ve been married, we haven’t thought to get our own camping equipment and go camping altho we have repeatedly mentioned to each other how much we loved it growing up.

Well, that changed this past weekend. We decided we were going to gather our wits about us and finally go camping together.

So we made a list, checked it twice(each), and went this week and bought about half of the things we need.

Paul then promptly came home and christened the bbq grill, making us some lovely spiced grilled chicken breasts! It was wonderful. I made a small mac & cheese pie and so that was our dinner tonight.

As for excersize, I think I got quite a bit doing all the shopping we had to do. It’s close to 95 here today, and it was quite a ways to the car from the parking lots. I also did a bit of housework today despite the heat.

I usually get more excersize at work- I work 12 hour nights at a hospital and am almost constantly walking except for my lunch break. Then I have an hour or so to relax. I work two days, then am off two days, except every other weekend I have three days off. Not a bad deal.  I usually come home and do some type excersize to either a DVD or music from my shuffle.

I try and eat sensibly, most times i win- sometimes I lose the battle and overindulge.

My biggest problem is staying motivated to excersize. Like right now I’m fighting the chocolate urge. And I do mean fighting. I have to admit I’ve been losing much more consistantly since I removed (most of) the chocolate and sodas from my diet. And the cravings aren’t so bad-except forabout a week of the month. But on the days when the URGE hits…it hits meHARD.

Anyway, I remembered that I didn’t have a single pair of shorts to wear when we go camping. So I bought a pair today in a size 20W. I just hope they fit. last time I bought a pair of pants- the were a size 22W and I’ve lost about 11 pounds since then. I’ll try them on later and post the results. We don’t plan on going camping for about three weeks, since my daughter will be having surgery next weekend and I’ll be needing to stay with her for a few days til she’s up and about. So if they don’t fit yet I’ll have a couple weeks to lose a bit more.

Lemme think on that during the days and nights I want to binge on anything I shouldn’t.
