Let's see.......what were those goals, again?

While I was on vacation I did not do my crunches.  But......I did walk and swim each day, so I'm going to count that instead.  I did crunches on Monday and Tuesday, but yesterday my back was in a lot of pain, so I skipped them.   I think I'm entitled.

My two mini-goals for this week were to get caught up on all my email alerts, which include AOL journal alerts and alerts from two groups I belong to, and to catch up with my reading group.  I am working on my alerts, and I plan to spend an hour or so this afternoon reading this month's book.  Wimpy goals, I know, but it's been a busy week!

As for my July goal of getting my photos organized into albums and scrapbooks, Eler Beth and I worked on them for awhile yesterday. 

It's raining again today, and it rained yesterday, and there is a 40% chance of rain tomorrow!  So pool and zoo plans have had to be postponed.  Working on scrapbooks, playing cards with the kids and reading are the daily plans for the rest of this week.  I think tomorrow we may do a movie night with pizza and popcorn and all the works.

My daughter got up 30 minutes ago and asked if she could have an ice-cream cone for breakfast.  I said sure!  I mean, if you can't have an ice-cream cone for breakfast once in a while, what's the point of being a kid?  It wasn't low-fat ice cream, either.  It was Kroger brand vanilla bean in a sugar cone!  Don't worry, I'll make sure she eats a good lunch.

don't feel too bad about the crunches.  i read an article that was sent to me in email yesterday that said ....and how discouraging can this be....that crunches didn't really help.

i wish that whoever the ubiquitous "they" is who determine what works and what does not would make up their minds.  i'm seriously confused here.

sounds like you're doing ok anyway, though.  :-)

Man, I want to have breakfast with YOU!  I'd eat breakfast more often if it was ice cream in a sugar cone!!!  And, goals are goals;  doesn't matter if they are (what you think of as) whimpy!  Jae

"I saw something about that on AOL news this morning, too, Mara.  I don't think I'm overdoing it, and personally I think that any movement you do is going to be burning calories, anyway.  It feels good, and it seems like I'm toning up there, so I'm going to keep it up, but I'm going to try to incorporate more walking into my daily routine, too.  I know that walking works!  Yes, that ubiquitous "they" just can't seem to leave "well enough" alone.

I see nothing wrong with an ice cream cone for breakfast or cake or pie or cookies. Sweet things make you jump faster. lol Paula

Ice cream is good. Has milk in it!
