walking the mile... walking the mile...

I only walked a mile last night. I wanted to walk 1.5 but just didn't have time. I know, I know.. how long can it take to walk a half mile, right? Our schedule was cram packed yesterday. As it was, Britt and I still didn't get to go to bed til after midnight. I promised myself that I would at least walk a mile - and that I did. Maybe I will make up for it and do 1.75 tonight. :) I just have to start earlier. I don't like to walk in the dark by myself so I need to get it done during the daytime hours. Maybe after Elijah is done with physical therapy I can go walk.
So my friends have been sending me recipes, which I love! I am determined to stop eating out and start cooking at home more. The key to doing that successfully is to plan and shop.
I went wild with my eating there for a while. My stress level was really through the roof and that's how I deal with it.. I eat and I bitch. It's how I roll. I feel a bit more in control this week. Of my emotions and my eating.
I am praying that things continue on an even level for a while. I think a break will do all of us so much good. We can handle busy. We can handle crazy busy.. It's just nice to be able to have a bit of normal happy crazy busy, and not scary bad stuff.
