Blessed Samhein and Happy Anniversary!

Happy Halloween! Have a Blessed Samhein! And happy anniversary to me and Hubs!

It's my favorite day of the year. And my plan for Samhein? To burn negative thoughts and habits, to create healthy goals and resolutions, getting ready for a new year! For pagans, Samhein is the end of the year. The end of the harvest. The day to celebrate our ancestors. The beginning of winter.

For our anniversary? I don't know. Usually I've got things all planned out, but I ended up having to work today, so I don't get to spend as much time at home.
I am still taking tomorrow off so we can do whatever.

The day hasn't started out well, though. Hubs' phone was stolen and turned off so it can't be tracked. His little sister is in he hospital, delivering her baby. Hubs is really taking the news hard, because it should have been us instead of her. I agree, but there's nothing I can do except ignore the situation. She doesn't talk to us anyway, so that's not too hard. He's just not emotionally ready for a niece/nephew, even if he's not going to see her/him. I don't think any of his friends, with or without kids, really understands what's going on. Hell, they might not even give a damn. I hate seeing him so sad and upset.

Anywho, enough about the crap. Today I need to be celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary!

Exercise can be fun!

The weekend is always the best time for me to get my exercise, simply because I don't have to work. Although I love my Wii workout, that's really more for the middle of the week. I've started planning my weekends to include lots of physical activities, without the dread of actual exercise. Weight Watchers stresses that you don't use the term 'exercise', but rather 'activity'. I would agree. 'Exercise' can strike fear into the hearts of even the healthy, whereas 'activity' implies something fun. So here's what I have planned for the next few weekends as 'activity': Friday, Mar 25: Weeding My Garden Oh my goodness, the weeds have just taken over! I have 3 birdfeeders very close to the garden, so seeds get thrown in it all the time. The seeds have started growing plants, so I will be digging around tonight, pulling all of them out. Saturday, Mar 26: Fort Worth Zoo specifically for the new Museum of Living Art. Last time we ...

Vegetarian life update

I've made it through the first 3 days as a vegetarian, and I haven't missed meat at all. I know that the first few weeks are the hardest, and I'm pleased so far. I've been using quinoa and hemp seeds for proteins, and will be using nuts and beans as well. There are thousands of recipes online, and I've already tried some. I'm having to teach Hubs that it's okay for him to eat meat, and that I have no problem cooking it for him. I just don't add meat to my meal. It's surprisingly easy. We went to the grocery store on Saturday, and I walked out with no animal proteins or dairy in my bags. It was easy to ignore the meat. My PCOS group is doing an event called "Creating Goals with Soul", using Danielle LaPorte's Workbook O' Fire. Some of the girls are so excited to participate - and we could all use a little help sticking to our goals. My current health goals: - Continue my vegetarian lifestyle change - Eliminate my coffee consumpt...
