My blog on Monday sounded kind of negative. Yes, I have a hard time with negative thinking, especially at work. Everything turned out just fine , but the walk I did during lunch really helped. I also did my workout at the gym that night and worked really hard. Last night I went for a walk with the dog and ran into a couple of women I know that walk every night. They invited me to walk with them and I did, and it was nice. I ended up walking about 45 minutes. It was good. I am really starting to see how the exercise makes me feel better. Yet, it is still hard to get up off my a..s and do it. I do the gym thing 2 or 3 times a week, but I think I need more and I think I need some small exercise times during the day. I think the whole sitting at the desk thing is a real deterrent to healthy living and eating.

Is anybody looking forward to Thanksgiving? I am not. I have very difficult parents and siblings and I guess I am elected (as usual) to make the dinner this year. It will most definitely be my Moms last and who knows, maybe my Dads. I am tired of the whole thing with my family and would just rather spend it with my own immediate family, i.e. husband and children with spouses and such. I have held this family together for many years and finally realized that they are not my responsibility. I only do it because, I don't know why, I guess it is tradition. After this year I am throwing off the tradition and they can all do whatever they want to for holidays.
