Sick and Surfing

So, I took the day off because I have been fighting a cold for almost 3 months - well not the same cold, but it feels like it. You see, I'll catch a cold, have it for 2 to 3 weeks, finally start feeling better for a few days and, wham, get hit with another cold. My co-workers are even telling me I should take antibiotics. However, every time I visit the clinic the doctor tells me to let the cold just run its course...
Anyway, I thought I'd let my body rest a bit. I tidied the kitchen some, and did a couple of loads of laundry and then lay in bed surfing the net.
I found some inspiring craft ideas and wanted to share http://thelongthread.com because it's a cool site and because she is having a give away. Click on the link for details on that!

Eye Opener

The school I work at had a yearbook published this year. As well as the student and class photos, pictures of the members of the various teams and clubs were included. I run a craft club with the grade 3 students and was required to be included in the photo.

When the yearbook was printed and finally given to the students I had a brief look at it and was shocked when I came to see myself in the club photo. I knew that I had gained weight, but insisted on telling myself that I looked fine and that I could "hide it well"...

Not so, in this picture I look, well, chunky. And though I try to eat well, I have not kept up with exercising on a daily basis. And though I tend to eat healthy foods, I find that I give in easily to temptation when it comes to baked goods and sweets.

For months I have been telling myself "I really need to get back to exercising and eating well," yet I always find an excuse for not following through.

With this blog I am going to attempt to finally stop making excuses...

Perhaps through the blog I can be more accountable for my goals, to be healthier, to be fit, and to feel more refreshed and not tired all the time!
