Neglect & Update

I've neglected this sad little blog for the last six-plus months. Hopefully, no more. Here's a little update regarding some of last year's posts.

The vegetarian diet DID lower my cholesterol! Enough to get me back in the "normal" range - albeit barely. I've stuck with it, and am now approaching the year mark of eating vegetarian, and guess what? I like it.

I stuck with the running, too, and ran a 5K in August. I finished somewhere in the middle of the 700-plus runners, and it was a great experience. I'm planning to do it again when the weather warms up, and hopefully, I'll progress and do a 10K this summer.

We had basically no TV for six months, (those digital boxes are crap) and that was all my husband could stand (One college football season). He subscribed to cable for Christmas. I'm glad, but at the same time, I'm not getting as much done.

I'm still trying to get the hang of being a stay at home mom and all that entails. Something I've learned that has helped: The dishes and a load of laundry and cleaning the bathroom must be done every day. Every. Single. Day. This is probably so basic that it is instinctive for most people, but not me. So I try to remember this and make it happen. It doesn't always, but I think I'm getting better. Baby steps.
