I haven’t been doing the regular memes since I gave up hosting Monday Memories because I was taking a little break from all of that, but my friend, Leanne, who is the creator of Thursday Thirteen, likes it when I participate. I am doing this for her today because her dear dog, Chloe, died yesterday and I want to do whatever I can to make her smile. So, smile, Leanne. I love you.

1. Lift weights.

2. I have done this 3 times since Saturday.

3. Cardiovascular exercise.

4. I have done this 3 times since Saturday, as well, for a total of 100 minutes. I don’t remember how many calories or miles that ended up being.

5. Drink more water.

6. I am really bad at this. I am drinking more because I have to drink while I work out, but I still need to up my water intake.

7. Eat more fruits and vegetables.

8. I love them, but I either don’t have them around (the kids eat them up to fast), I don’t feel like cutting them up or I forget they are there and they spoil.

9. Go to the gym regularly.

10. I have been there every day this week, including Saturday and Sunday.

11. Keep a food journal.

12. Eat more regularly.

13. I suck at these last two things. I forget to eat. It’s stupid and you are probably saying, “Forget to eat?! Why isn’t she skinny?” because that is the kind of thing that skinny people say. But it is true. I forget to eat until I am starving/shaking/faint and then I think, “Oh my God! I haven’t eaten anything all day!” and then I stuff anything in my face that I can find and usually it is something of no nutritive value that is simple sugars/carbohydrates so that it gets into my blood fast. You are probably thinking, “She is a smart girl. She knows these things. Why doesn’t she just do it?” I don’t know. I am bad. If you figure out the answer to those questions, email me at shellimil at gmail dot com. Because I haven’t the faintest idea. No pun intended.
