THIRTYTONORMAL

another awesome trip

I had the best time at the games.  It was SO much fun to actually see them play in person and see the coach.  Plus they were great games, particularly against Baylor on Sunday.  The seats we got were also perfect, center court, row 10.  You could see the sweat flying off the players.  :)

I have a new URL for my blog.  When I initially set it up, I had /wordpress at the end and I didn’t want it.  So I had to delete the old blog and then reinstall with the URL I wanted.  I knew that I had backed up my blog before I left, because I’d thought about moving it last week and then changed my mind.  Unfortunately, I’d posted and gotten a couple of comments AFTER I’d backed up, so I lost those (I think only two, one of which only said I was taking off for the week-end), along with comments on those posts.  Which I can’t believe I did because I’m the back-up queen, always harassing reminding my kids about backing up and then I didn’t.

I’m hoping all you wonderful people who have me in your blogroll will edit the address so you can find me.  :)   Here is my new URL.

I’m also down another pound which I’m happy about, but I really need to get back on the exercise kick again.  I’m at the cabin through the end of the week and then back in Canada (with my exercise equipment) for most of April, except for a three day trip in the middle on the month.  I feel like I’ve been coasting the past month … not gaining, but not losing like I’d like to either.

hey, hey

Just found that they have a quick way to add tags to any post that lets you look at what tags you already have.  Is that awesome or what?  (At least I don’t think it was available on 3fatchicks wordpress, not that I ever saw.)

It’s the little things that make ME happy.  :)

And hey, hey is what my 3 year old grandson is always saying.  :)

Hunger versus cravings

I came across this article on the South Beach website a couple of days ago.

Once in a while I’ll experience what feels like hunger pangs within an hour or so of eating, even though I know I’ve had plenty to eat.  Evidently these are cravings, not hunger.  Who knew! I need tp pay attention to those times when I have those pangs too soon after eating and try to identify what I ate that caused them.

Listening on the radio to all the Valentine’s advertisements (and seeing all the store advertisements) makes me think I want chocolate.  Part of that mindless eating thing that I used to do.  If I think about it, I really don’t want the chocolate.  If I don’t think about it, the chocolate would be in my mouth before I knew what happened.  So I’m making sure I always think about what I’m eating before I eat it.

I still love my new home here.  This website design is a lot of fun and makes me smile to look at it.  Still somethings I’d like to change but overall it’s awesome.

We came down to the cabin for a three-day week-end.  Makes me happy to be here too … :)
