I have to tell one person a day

Wonder if this counts? I made a goal to tell at least one person a day about my healthy lifestyle goals and activities. So I figure the Internet is one person. At least if one person reads me that counts right? Oh hell yea. Although I will be letting my grandmother know. She's my partner in virtual crime so to speak. Since we agreed to hit the beach at least once a day. She stopped going after grandpa died (he used to go every day for a swim). I think because she was depressed but she denied it. So we went while I was there and she kept asking me why she stopped going. So we decided we would go either in the morning or the evening on a daily basis. I myself have not (horrors!) At least not every day. But I am working on that. I'm not far so I really have no excuses.

I've started to use this site called Spark People. It's free and so far seems to be pretty interesting. It's a well I don't want to say "diet" site because well I think it goes more along the lines of healthy living. I suppose most people use it to lose weight. That is what I am trying to do as well as shape up. While helping my grandmother I realize I have a hard time doing some things that used to be easy to do (like keeping my damn arms over my head to do things longer than I did at her house!). So I've been seriously thinking about what my damn problem is. I hate to say the "L" word, but I can't deny it anymore. I have no problem with hard work, but I guess as I'm getting older, I'm conserving energy more.....Pathetic.

Anyway, I've gotten a wealth of new ideas on cooking foods. With the new acquisition of another George Foreman Lean Machine Grill (from gram and it's larger than the one I own) I've cooked lots of chicken on it so far using various spices and recipes. Quite tasty I must say. Today I will have some steak marinating. Reminds me, I have to get it out of the sink. Leaving it in the fridge overnight had not defrosted it all the way. And with my bamboo steamer steaming broccoli is a snap. I would rather have my veggies lightly steamed than raw, goes in and out easier heh. Now if I can just get my ass up more often, I'll be on my way.

I think I've been depressed a little, especially toward the end of the quarter. Hence my lack of determination to get away from the idiot box. The weather is nicer and nothing I want to see on tv so I hope to be moving more.

Plus I ate out so much last quarter I was appalled at my bank statement. That and gas ranked up as most of my charges. Got to stop eating out. The gas. I don't know what to do about that as of yet. I wanted to do some various road trips to spark my inspiration for photography and I am not sure I want to go far now. I do want to take a trip to some of the barrier islands here, the furthest I think an hour and a half away. Gas + fees + whatever else. I don't consider myself poor (yet) but my income is so much less than my expenses and without loan money coming in......Must be nice to have to not worry about money.....
