...with only 4 days left. I was done in by a stressful day at work and two kids from the local junior high who had to sell their last few World’s Finest Chocolate Bars. Of course I told myself I would put them away for a week and then eat them, or give them to my kids. NOPE, did not happen. Oh well…got farther than I ever did before and there is always next year.

How I did it: I spent the whole summer cleaning, tossing, fixing, and storing. I cleaned every cabinet and closet and gave it away or packed it and stored it. I then called a real estate agent. He gave me a simple list of things to do: Bright light bulbs in every room, paint one bedroom I had not painted yet, replace the screens and work on the yard. It was difficult to keep the house clean everyday because you never know if someone was coming or not, … Read how I did it…
Isn’t St. Patrick’s day half way through the 40 days this year? I admit to eating a few girl scout cookies last Sunday, but I read somewhere that Sunday did not count in Lent. Oh well, that was my excuse. I am back on the wagon. I have been grumpy and moody lately and desparately wanted the seretonin rush of a chocolate bar, but I resisted. Seems like a lot of us are eating peanut butter…is that strange?
The PE coach gave me a pedometer to see if “beating my step count” would be motivational to my students. I walk between 6,000 and 11,000 steps a day (no wonder I am too tired for the treadmill at night and anxious to walk on the weekends! Now I want to steadily get between 9 and 10 thousand steps. That’s a mile right?
